Happy St Piran's day , we get a free pasty at work ( mines vegan did I ever tell you I'm .......)

Well done to all of us who live in the nice sticky out bit in the south west, it's nice to be proud of where you live, to surf after work and to be surrounded by beauty.

I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be but maybe you can , Wales , Scotland, coastal?
Over tourism is the downside in some places here you might say , low wages , second homes , unaffordable housing for the young

My take is you exist upcountry but live down here , just saying

The Irish tied him to a mill-stone, rolled it over the edge of a cliff into a stormy sea, which immediately became calm, and the saint floated safely over the water to land upon the sandy beach of Perranzabuloe in Cornwall. His first disciples are said to have been a badger, a fox, and a bear.

Can't argue with a free pasty.

Saint Piran's Day, or the Feast of Saint Piran, is the national day of Cornwall

How can there be a national day of a place that isn't a nation?

 

[Yaayuh!]

You know exactly why

England ends at the Tamar, then Cornwall begins. Pasties, jam on first, up the miners! etc etc. Go sit in the corner @Participant

I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be but maybe you can

I can think of somewhere else I would rather you were, yeah.

Wrong side of the Tamar for me tbh but a lovely part of the world for sure, nice to grow up on/around Dartmoor.

Can't argue with a free pasty.

Could have chucked in some cider too.
