Having spent some time in Cornwall and nearby areas, I must say that it is a very eerie place; there is something mystical about the whole region, something that hearkens back to a dark and shrouded past. I always enjoy reading about what they uncover, and I always enjoy your posts SunkenCiv, even when I don't comment on them. Thanks for all your efforts!

Cornwall is a wonderful place. Layers and layers of history and legend.

Hey, that’s right, welcome back!
I think the problem with that first pic you linked of Penzance was, the server treated you as a Pirate.
Ah, I kill me...

Speaking of Cornwall, I’m reminded of the Mary Stewart novels of the Arthurian cycle, which I read, well, a long long time ago now. :’) I started with “The Crystal Cave” when I saw it in paperback in some store not usually associated with books. That one leads inexorably to Cornwall, where the denouement takes place.
There are a couple later novels of the cycle which I didn’t know about, one of which is set in Cornwall.

You are missing out on something really good. Not as good as Tolkein (as if anything could be, outside of Scriptures) but nevertheless, an awesomely good read. Especially if you start from the first book and read through to the last.
Each is like the teenaged boy who is the main character...more complex and full of angst as he ages. I would personally recommend them all to you. I suspect you won’t be disappointed. Check them out from the library or get them on Kindle, but read from the first to the last.
When you have read them all (7) let me know what you think.
England is full of magical potential. ;o]
