Lovely though a lighthouse is, it was a lonely place for the poor old lighthouse keeper, and although a party might cheer him up, it could be a bit cramped for space, let alone very limited for Santa and all the rest of you to land (although the flashing light will guide you in nicely)! There's been much discussion lately about the beautifully named Pigmoor, variously described as being in Ludgvan or Nancledra if I recall rightly? Must be my perverse sense of humour but I love the idea of a party at Pigmoor, so that would be my suggestion (just for the delightfully prosaic nature of the name). Oink Oink! But the idea of an ever-expanding lighthouse is equally wonderful... Godrevy is lashed by the waves on it's rocky little island, but the surfing is good off the nearby beaches, and the arty folk can drop in on the Tate Gallery at St Ives (although I doubt you'll have time with dancing through all those rooms and up and down the stairs). John at the other end of Cornwall (where we have more cows and sheep than pigs) and although I've done 'virtual tours' to all sorts of odd places in Cornwall, I'm just desperate to make a visit to a place with such an evocative name as 'Pigmoor'!!!!!

Perversity is a good thing. The concept of Pigmoor attracts me too ! Perhaps we could do rig-a-ring-a-roses around some ancient stones under a full moon and dispense with having bother with dressing up :-) Or given it is a virtual party we could all squeeze into a mouse-hole or even Mousehole. None the less I shall cast my vote for Pigmoor (always did like "Babe" the movie!)

Pamela in Victoria, Australia Researching:  Holmes, Mowbray, Nicholls, Oseen [Hou Sin], Searle - & more......
