Summer Holidays

My grandparents lived in this village and I have many memories of my visits to the village as a child. One highlight was the walk down the lane to catch the bus to Penzance. Walking across the lane to the diary with all its Gnomes in the garden. The Fish and Chip shop where I was always remembered from one year to the next. Walking up to the post office for sweets on routre to the rec. The village shop was on a little hill just down from the chip shop, across from here was a small garage. The walk into St Austell toen centre we used to pass the pig farm which to us kids was great fun. Grandparents lived in a little courtyard of 3 houses which later changed its address to Cooperage Road. Uncle still lives in the Village. Carnival time was also a great community event and one of the daughters living across the way from Gran was carnival queen one year, so it was really exciting to be right in the thick of it .
