CORNWALL

TRURO

Truro is the capital city of this beautiful county (or should I say country). This where the legend began, Treliske Hospital 1968. The planets must have been in some sort of conjunction, a la "The Omen".

There is a lovely Cathedral built at the end of the nineteenth century and a mixture of architecture including a magnificent Georgian street. This is a market town which acts as a focus for the county on market days and weekends.

ST MICHEAL'S MOUNT

This striking feature looks just like something straight out of myth and legend, a rocky outcrop of land in the middle of a wide sweeping bay connected to the mainland by a causeway flooded at high-tide. An old Cornish giant created this island and its spookily similar twin in Brittany, Northern France, Mon San Michelle. Legend has it he threw two giant rocks into the sea in afit of rage.

Although football, cricket and all other normal sports are played and followed in the county, rugby is one of the most popular, especialy since the recent success in the county championship finals 1991. Myself and twenty thousand other Cornishmen, Cornishwomen, Cornish dogs, cats and dragons went to twickenham, the home of English rugby: last person out of the county turn the lights out.
