[@richardcummins5465]

Very interesting. Love everything about Cornwall. Wish I'd never left. Sigh!

[@FourMinuteFamilyHistory4MFH]

Thank you. It is so amazing there. What part of Cornwall are you from?

[@richardcummins5465]

Not Cornish but lived Worked there fot 20 years. Originally Summercourt, then Callington. Worked for South West Water. Now in Luton, for my sins😂 Be lucky!

[@FourMinuteFamilyHistory4MFH]

I have never lived in Cornwall. How lovely that must have been. I don't know much about Luton other than the airport, my friend Sooze and relegation. But it must be quite different!
