ancient brits Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I know Cornwall very well. Lived there as a child some 40odd years ago in Mullion. went to school in Helston (yes I danced in the Floral dance). Moved back there in 1988 with family and lived in village of Breage,near Helston. My son and his family (+my 4 grandchildren) still live there in Connor Downs near Hayle. I visit every 3 months or so. Got to get my fix of real "Cornish Pasties" and clotted cream. Thinks I must cut down before the dreaded medicals!!!!!! Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient brits Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Very small world Gizmo. My son+ daughter-in-law and grandchildren used to live in St Kevern, before moving to Hayle last year,and would pass Goonhilly every day. The granchildren would look at the big dishes and say "thats where they send the messages from that go to Uncle Matthew,"(my other son who lives in Sydney Aus). He didn't seem so far away to them. That was in the pre skype days. As for stingo+ the blue anchour, when in Rome!!!!!! We now live in Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jim72 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi, my family goes back a long way in Millbrook in 'the forgotten corner' of Cornwall. Does that count? Just got back from a holiday in Cawsand/Kingsand down the road. Seems like there are still plenty of West Country folk keeping up the longstanding tradition of emigrating to the Antipodes. Look at all those familiar place names in Tassie, for example. It'd make me feel quite at home! Here's a couple of recent pics of Cawsand Bay & beach, overlooking Plymouth Sound.

Guest VFRHOCKS Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I know Cornwall/Kernow very well, born and breed until about 10 years ago, moved away but still look back, moving even further away soon, hopefully to Perth area. Was born in Redruth and raised around there and Cambourne, whole family have always lived there from as far back as I know, apart from myself and my dad (mum and dad devioced when I was young/long time ago). Unfortunatly most of the family down there have pasted away so only a brother and sister left now, so not so much family to leave behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
