Good Evening All! I was so sad to leave Cornwall this morning. Jo and her daughter, Mia, came to pick me up from the B&B. We had a short bit of time to kill before my train, so we went up to the church for one last visit. The church was decorated for a wedding with beautiful flowers at the end of each pew and near the altar. There was also a special display honoring author, Rosamunde Pilcher, who is from Lelant and has deep ties to the church--having been ...

One thing I came here to do was to visit the Cornwall Record Office in Truro. They keep all the BMD records, maps & church records for the various parishes in the county.

One shop had these large, enameled tile wall hangings that I r...

Good Evening Everyone, This was a pretty quiet day, but one filled with a lot more walking. I slept in a little later this morning and had a light breakfast of yogurt and a muffin with o.j. and coffee. Didn't really know what I wanted to do today. It was very overcast but neither warm nor cool and there was no breeze. After a bit of thought, I decided to take the bus over to Lelant to see if I could get into the church, then I'd walk down to the beach,...
