hi people from the west country of england !...whats happening ?..especailly in cornwall ..?? ( Archived) (22)

where eupho lives ?

hahaha!

Well today.. in the USUALLY warm sunny county.. it's COLD!

It SAYS:

Temperatures: 10°C/50°F
Condition: Mostly Cloudy
Wind: SSW 26 KPH
Relative Humidity: 63%
Barometer: 29.93

But it feels a lot colder than that to me.

Where I live it's considered the warmest part of the country. 25miles off shore are the Isles of Scilly some tropical pants grow (outside)..

There are still a lot of holiday makers around.. in the summer Cornwall is PACKED full of them.. They come because it's such a beautiful peaceful place. The scenery is amazing.. coastlines beaches and the Atlantic all around us.

It's a much slower pace of life than most other places in England. No one hurries to do anything.. There are gorgeous cosy comfy country pubs.. where you can sit by a roaring fire and listen to local people playing some great *Fiddley-dee* music.. on various instruments.. Everybody is friendly.. everybody treats you like a friend. And in the summer we do all that outside instead.

People here are not impressed with who owns.. wears.. or has what.

In the Summer.. we BBQ all the time.. practically live outside at the beaches.. People come from all over the UK to surf here.

We have a lot of history and stories here.. Excalibur.. Merlin.. King Arthur.. Knights of the Round table. Mermaids.. and all that.. that all comes from here..

There is *said* to be a lot of magic and mystery here.. Witches.. Wiccans .. Pagans and all sorts of (that are all still practised a lot) We have standing stones.. stones circles and all that kind of thing. Naked people dancing around fires.. (honestly lol)

We have wine-dy (so you know what i meant lol) country roads.. where often when another car is coming you have to pull right over and off the road as there is no room for two to pass..

We Gig row... (long skinny boats)..
Sometimes we Close off the little town I live in and have all day *Sessions* of Carnivals and plays.. live music.. and laying on the grass all day with your buddies.. drinking something tasty in the sunshine..



There are A LOT of very talented people in Cornwall.. There is a lot of art.. and artists.. as there is so much for them to draw from.


We live in tree's.. eats babies.. and burn strangers..

Well.. that's what people often think.. haha



Is that enough to keep you going for a while Gilly?

Gilly I'm a teeny bit hungover this morning..

So I will touch on the easier ones first.. haha


The Church he dates back to about the 13th century.

No I don't live in a house that looks like it's falling down.. (welll... lol)

No it's not thatched.

Yes there are A LOT of *Cottages* in Cornwall.

Yes some people do talk like that here.. (A Cornish accent).. aright me ansome? lol

Sir Walter Raleigh (the explorer) his statue is in Devon (Plymouth) not Cornwall.

It's St Austell (in Cornwall)... not St Austin.

The difference between Devon and Cornwall... is that THEY are bloody Foreigners!
