We had to answer questions about Cornwall and it was all a bit of fun. It was to highlight the fact that Cornwall has been given Minority Status which has all sorts of more serious implications.

I was part of the choir. If I hadn’t been I might not have gone given the weather, having seen him two years ago. I’m sorry you missed him though, he is spectacular! Wadebridge tomorrow perhaps? 🙂

Oh, I am glad you got to see it. I would have gone, but the weather has been atrocious today. Should have gone to Geevor yesterday!
