Wow, I can't believe it's time for THE PARTY again! I haven't actually been in Cornwall since 2004 but THE PARTY helps a little. I am hoping to get over there again for real, next spring. Meanwhile, where will the party be this year? Can we take over Bodmin Prison? I think it needs some serious remodeling and maybe some party decorations will help. I will be coming from my home just outside San Diego, California. We are expecting warm sunny weather and Santa Ana winds in the next few days, so I might have to take a different route, over the Pacific, because of the strong winds. My son and his wife who live in New York City are going to New Zealand for 2 weeks next Sunday, so maybe I can stop off and vist them for a little break. What can I bring as my contribution for THE PARTY? How about some local fish tacos and a tank of margaritas?

How about Geevor or South Crofty mines? With the current British weather a possible underground refuge might be quite good! The cats and I are ready to depart as soon as the Nunnington wyrm can be dried out and get his fires relit! Like all of us in soggy Yorkshire he's a bit damp and despondent at the moment. Meanwhile a cask of Bruichladdich has just matured and the christmas cake and wensleydale cheese are looking inviting cheers Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Jan Davis <jandavis3@cox.net> To: cornish <cornish@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 0:14 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] Party 2012 Wow, I can't believe it's time for THE PARTY again!

Bodmin Gaol!! Fantastic site!! Let's do it!! Haven't been inside one since my misspent youth in Ely, Nevada!! The old James Bond Inflatable Zodiac Commando Boat is there under the bridge over Manatawny Creek. I've alreadfy ordered the Mega-Kegs of Yuenglings supurb Porter. Will need Pisky help in setting up the Trans-Time Vortex to carry Mr. Pastie Pasties from Pen Argyl. I've just learned that Pen Argyl in Saxonish is Head (or End or Top) of the Slate Lode. Great to finally know that. Our good friend Jayne Mansfield will be sporting a whole new wardrobe this year. No more pestering the museums for loan of her old film costumes. Howlek an Gath and Traveler the Wonder Dog are being measured for new crew uniforms. For myself, I see no way to improve on my Cornish National Tartan Kilt with belt, Chough buckle and Scottish dirk I inherited from an old acquantance in the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. Plus, for the Ball, a green Montrose doublet with TWO rows of silver buttons, and the sword a mythic ancestor acquired from a Spanish gentlemen who had no further need of it. Looking forward to the fun!
