How many here from Cornwall?

[Juliet42]

Just out of interest, how many of you here are from Cornwall? And what part?

 

[helston90]

I'll start the ball rolling and put my hand up- the clue to my location is in my name- this narrows it down to c12,000 people!

You?

 

[Juliet42]

Hello helston90!
I'm in Par, near St Austell, not sure what the population of Par is though!

 

[helston90]

There's another one on here from that neck of the woods, wikipedia says Par is 1400 people but then you're quite close to St Austell which is pretty big with its new shiney shopping centre.

 

[Juliet42]

Wow! Only 1400 people, feels like more.

Shiney new shopping centre? You mean White River Place? Blink as you walk through St Austell, and you will miss it!

My Hands up too - Falmouth

From Bude, though I had the temerity to pop into this World 2 weeks early while my folks were visiting my Nan, so by an accident of birth I'm a Man of Kent. I now live elsewhere.

I used to live in St Just, and I miss it rather a lot sometimes.

 

[pauldavid]

I just wish I lived there and am thoroughly jealous of you all.

I used to live in St Just, and I miss it rather a lot sometimes.

St Just in Penwith or in Roseland?

St Just in Penwith or in Roseland?

Penwith. The one that disappears when the fog rolls in off the Atlantic.

My memories of it are probably seen through rose-tinted glasses. I remember snuggling in front of a cozy woodburner in our sweet, little cottage and riding around the lanes on a warm, summer's day, surrounded by green fields and hedgerows. I forget about the times when the tiny cottage felt like a prison because it was too windy/wet/foggy (or windy, wet AND foggy) to get out on the bike. (I can actually recall one day when I had to give up on a run when I jogged out from the cover of the houses and was blown over!)

What I miss most is the people. The community is the most welcoming, open-minded and supportive I've ever come across.

 

[slowmotion]

Sounds lovely lulubel. I know the other St Just quite well but not yours.

 

[Falwheeler]

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm not.

Hello Juliet, I'm from East Yorks, but looking at your avatar, I feel a move down south is imminent.......
