@TomRelubbus cheers Tom, it's got to ne a labour of love and not rushed. It will be great to see the finished product in a few years time.

Unfortunately, the old Cornwall I knew has almost gone now

A huge number of Cornish miners travelled all over the world in pursuit of work. My own grandfather migrated to Michigan to work in a copper mine. I don't think that any of the Cornish miners were Black though

He was eating chocolate biscuits as he was talking!

There certainly aren't very many people left with an accent as strong as this - in fact, there aren't many Cornish people left in Cornwall, who can afford to rent or buy a home here.

Both vans added together, sold for less than £6k...and the 1945 Scammell is still there.

Same with Devon - Accent has almost completely died in the younger generation

Thanks for watching

I wouldn't put it past him!

The old Cornish taxi driver was telling the story of how he took a load of blokes out on a stag night, but he got so drunk that the stag had to drive the taxi home, and put the taxi driver to bed!

Apparently, the last bit of the UK that the Mayflower (Pilgrim Fathers) touched, before landing in America was Newlyn in West Cornwall. Perhaps that's how the Cornish accent got there

It's very unlikely you'll encounter an accent anywhere near this strong.

We live beside a river, and from our bedroom window I saw a deer grazing on the bank, it was only about 20 yds away. For once I had a camera close by, so I grabbed it, aimed and pressed the record button - only later to realise that I'd mistakenly pressed the Fn button...

@@TomRelubbus I have a similar story. I was once working in a church near Richmond Park in London and in a break in the recording session there I wandered round to the back of the church where there was a field in which a single horse roamed. As I turned the corner of the church I saw that there was a fox standing beside the horse, looking up at it, and the horse was looking down at the fox, as if they were having a conversation that humans were not supposed to know about. I was spellbound for about half a minute, and then the "conversation" ended and the fox wandered off slowly. And then I remembered I was holding a camcorder in my hand, which I hadn't even turned on....

You should get a good pasty from Gear Farm, but as for good weather...

I use Powerdirector 20, or 21, which is fine on H264, but as slow as Moses on HEVC. My computer is about 4-5 years old, but it's a powerful one that I had built, mainly for video. I'll have to try VideoProc

You're spot on Dave.

Mullion Cove, on the Lizard. Drive through Mullion, then turn left at the T junction in the one way system. Follow your nose on for about a mile (on past the chocolate factory) until you see a slip road on your right, saying 11/2 ton weight limit, ignore that and at the top you'll find a car park.

@TomRelubbus I haven't been that far down country. I might have to take a look later on this year.

Their song gives us hope that Spring might be on its way - one day...

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video

Thanks for the view. If you look up Jimmers Thomas on here, you'll find videos of my son restoring the living wagon

@@TomRelubbus I’m about To Start On One I Will Look it up.

That's nothing new, I'm Cornish born and bred - but I can't understand what Scottish people say!

St.Just used to be a world all of its own, these days it seems to have become quite trendy. I worked up there with an old St.Juster for a while over 40 years ago, and he used to say "Dee no" when he disagreed with anything, I think it was a shortened version of "Damn thee, no"

My partner from penzance I'm a Redruth girl 😂

@@TomRelubbus St Just is trendy? When I left Penzance around 30 years ago, we would still make joke about them not having discovered the wheel yet.

He wanted rather a lot of money for the lorry, nearly 10 times what I paid for the showman's caravan. Interestingly enough though, he's still got the fairground ride and the lorry for sale

Thanks for watching, our shed is probably better than my stories!

Alas, a lot of the old Cornish way of life has also disappeared, along with the local accent

Probably, it was there, but not everywhere when I was a kid in Truro 50 years ago. It's part of us, a real thing, not a reinvented Cornish language, but a real part of our heritage.

No, it's a lot further West than that. This was taken near St.Buryan

i no it i lived in sancreed in the 70s@@TomRelubbus

Thanks Peter, it's a little project I'm doing for the vicar, this was just a sample to give him an idea. It's a bit slow in places, to allow room for some commentary. Very odd flying a drone inside a church though

@@TomRelubbus Just keep away from the candles!

Thanks Barry, it's just a little video I'm making for the vicar, and has to have commentary added, along with other changes I expect

Beautiful workmanship in that church, especially the stained glass windows. I seem to remember reading the church had a terrible fire years ago, Have I got that right?

@@Dave.w-ev9qn1962 There was a big fire in the church about 200 years ago, but nothing more recent that I know of. Although it got 'roughed up' a bit in the 1930s, when parts of the congregation disagreed with the religious beliefs of the then vicar Several of the Newlyn School of artists are buried there, as are some of the panels they painted inside the church. As far as I know, it's also where the BBC (radio) held its outside broadcast at Christmas
