Things Cornish

[Jock Scot]

Thats more like it John thank you, although the sett was larger on the one that I saw and in consequence, looked rather less busy.

Some pictures of Cornwall and the coast. It's astonishingly beautiful... when it's not pouring down.


Havin' a swim in the Atlantic. A first for my daughter. (how's that for in depth reporting?)


Back to the digs after a smashin' day at the beach.


Lands End.


The famous signpost.


Taking the evening air and walking a bit of the South West Coast Path.


Heilan coos. Reared everywhere in Britain now.


Cider apples... (nice cider down there too...)


Cornish pastie and a Cornish cream tea... another cliché, tasty though.

Just a few snaps from a trip we did last year. If you get the chance to visit, you'll not be disappointed.
(Weather permitting. It did rain alot when we were there.)

Three of my favorite things Cornish:

On every horizon


Chysauster Iron Age village


And can't forget the King Harry Ferry!


I've got some snaps from The Lizard 'round here somewhere too. . .

It was a bit blowlier when I was at Land's End, English Bloke! Those are some nice characteristic photos, though. Thank you.

When I was small in Devon, we regularly had cream teas with clotted cream. I always put the cream on first - as it was the equivalent of the butter - but I know there is a theory that the jam goes on first, as in English Bloke's photo.

My granny always called the buns "Chudleighs". In Cornwall I believe they were called "splits".

If you ask for a cream tea in Lancashire you get butter as well !! Oh eye, we're nowt if norr 'ealthy up 'ere... Thick dob of butter first, then jam, then cream on top, then phone for the ambulance.

Up here they're just scones. My family always pronounce it as my mother did, "scones" with an o sound as in 'on', but we aren't originally from Lancashire. The people round were I live now pronounce it scones with an o sound as in 'own'. I must admit, I've never heard of Chudleighs or splits.

I do love the nuances of British dialect.
