In 1985, while on a business trip to London, I extended my stay over a weekend so that I might visit Cornwall, birthplace of all four of my grandparents. On a Friday, I boarded the Cornish Riviera at Paddington station bound for Penzance. I had no definite plan and when the train made a stop at St Erth I decided to get off and catch the spur line that went to St Ives. At St Ives I booked a room at the Regent Hotel for the night. The next morning, Saturday, I explored St Ives a bit then struck out walking to Penzance in order to catch the train back to London that evening. My stroll took me through Towednack, Amalveor, Georgia, Chypons, and Nancledra to name a few. ( Had biscuits and tea with a nice lady at Chypons Farm, purchased an ice cream in Nancledra, and had a pasty when I got to Penzance.) The weather was perfect; took a lot of pictures including the Wilson's cat at Amelbra, It's been almost 28 years but the experience hasn't faded. Perhaps I'll return some day after that fellow in NIgeria releases those funds he wants to share with me. Joe Trewhella In a message dated 1/24/2013 9:48:51 P.M.

Happy memories! I had cousins in Nancledra and walked and rode that path to and from Penzane many times!

Today was beautiful in West Cornwall, and guess what - we did the walk from Towednack through Amealvor, Georgia, detour via Castle an Dinas and back to Nancledra - gorgeous! > Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:09:04 +0800 > From: tencreek@tpg.com.au > To: cornish@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [CORNISH] Now: train to Cornwall > > Happy memories!
