Jeremy stayed with us at my sisters house, we all decided that a day out to Restormel Castle near Lostwithiel would be good for the mind.
Can’t help thinking about how Cornwall can change and not change, so many great things have disappeared from St.Austell, and other shit gets placed there. The Cornish as a whole reject change [being Cornish myself, I know this to be true] even if its for the good of the people… unlike the new maccy dees, a woman several years back wanted to build a house for her son, the council rejected her plans and now theres a useless Maccy Dee’s in the same projected place. [I guess money talks] If thats seems like something absurd, the very fact that Truro cathedral, a whopper of a building, was going to be built in St.Austell – but after public refusal [this is hundreds of years ago] the Cathedral got built in Truro – Cornwall’s current capital. This is strange because St.Austell has about twice as many residents as Truro. The list goes on, St.Austell rejected inner town revitalisation projects, marks and spencers, but let a tower block be built and also kept plans to turn St.Austell into a donut town.
Went to my Grandparents town of Redruth later that day.
