You have a poetic soul, my friend. Beautifully written. Went down well with a late coffee and croissant. Cornwall has largely passed me by over the decades, but this piece has made me think I must get down there this autumn - avoid summer hoidays being a good idea, I imagine. Thank you.

I don't quite understand how this forum, which is inhabited by such clearly lovely people, has failed to get on my radar. Bit like Cornwall, I suppose, but never late than never.

Not all of us are lovely mate. I am the resident grouch.
 
I was in Greenwich yesterday, and just love walking around there. Go into the market and there is food stall after food stall. There, "Street Food" is big with lots of interesting possibilities. I thought the food looked exciting as you saw it being cooked, you could smell it. By contrast pub food looked too sterilised. I chose an Ethiopian dish. Later I went to the pier and discovered there was a big Food Fest of Latin America. Just imagine having all these interesting foods available at St Mary's on a matchday with Thai, Japanese, and Falafal from the Middle East available.from stalls outside the stadium. Jerk chicken!!!!

I moved to Plymouth from London after the better half wanted to move back (she's a Janner). Best decision I've ever been made to make, lovely scenery, chilled out people (so long as you don't mention Jam, Cream and scones!), good food (Only the West Country would Thunder and Lightning be a thing) I love the area and can't see myself ever moving.
 
Someone sent me this over the weekend. Young travelling Americans [and one Russian] tasting Fish & Chips, in Cornwall, for the first time ever. They've obviously been about a bit because they're using most of the right slang, like 'pub' and 'chippy':

When I was in Penzance about 20 years or so ago we actually had an Earthquake. It only lasted for a couple of seconds so not long enough to do any damage but it really was a strange feeling.Im guessing it was due to all the tin mining
