St Breward Band I , verything crossed for some good weather this open the proceedings. The now month and in particular on Sunday August 19th - familiar RNLI stalls will turn the Platt into a market place the day of the RNLI's Annual Lifeboat Funday. and the new range of Port Isaac RNLI shirts will be on sale. For the children there is the ever popular Bouncy Castle and lots of games as well as mask painting and pony and cart rides. And for the 'big children’ there’s a 'Beer and Pimms’ 'tent'! The cake stall will be laden with home made goodies and when they've all been sold (which is usually very quickly so that's another reason for getting there early) it will miraculously change into a ‘Cream Tea' stall with homemade scones. Teas and soft drinks will be available throughout the day and you won’t go hungry as the RNLI barbeque will be up and running until it sells out. RNLI souvenirs, Christmas cards, special Port Isaac RNLI gifts, a raffle and tombola, the Wheel of Fortune - the list is endless. And don’t forget canoeing and the chance to go out in one of the Port Isaac gigs. Oh yes, and there's a golf game and egg throwing. Plus a demonstration from the crew and the Coastguard. And then, the icing on the cake - playing live on the Platt during the afternoon - Pete Turner’s Cajun Band, the Gumbo Flyers. See you there. Oh, and if it is wet, well - most of it’s in the Village Hall (probably not the pony and cart rides!). St Breward Band As usual The St Breward Band will be playing every Thursday evening on the Platt from 7.45pm and then marching through the village leading the Flora Dance procession. Fishermen’s Friends Eight bells on a Friday night (8 o'clock) and Port Isaac's very own sea shanty singers, the Fishermen’s Friends, sing live on the Platt.

  • The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015

    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015

    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015 St Kew parish, one of over 220 in the Duchy of Cornwall, is north of the town of Wadebridge, north of the Camel Valley and inland from Port Isaac in North Cornwall. About 1100 people are permanent residents of the 6500-acre parish and live in hamlets and farms connected by hedge-lined lanes. The lanes are narrow and twisting. Drive with care. Forty miles an hour can lead to some scary encounters with wildlife, other drivers or walkers. Both cyclists and eight and half foot-wide tractors are on a stop-for-nothing mission. The ancient hamlets are called Chapel Amble, Trewethern, Trewethen, St Kew Highway, St Kew, Trelill, Trequite, Tregellist, and Pendoggett. The origins of St Kew parish, lurk in the mists of time. Ancient beginnings have emerged in the work of many historians, archaeologists and people researching family records that are constantly being discovered. Although I am not one of those lucky types, I have developed a spectator interest during many visits to Cornwall, starting back in the early 1970s. Today, the parish is all quiet farmland. There once was a railway, but the station at St Kew Highway closed in the 1960s. Now a main road runs north to south, the A39, optimistically named the Atlantic Highway, and the B3314 road clips the north-west corner through Pendoggett, but all roads by-pass the church town of St Kew. 1 The heart of St Kew parish is St Kew hamlet and the parish church, St James the Great.

Your free guide to news and events within and around St Kew Parish Sunset at Polzeath Photograph by William Harkness IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR READERS As we go to press it is likely that all the events and meetings advertised in this month’s Pieces of Eight will be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Where we have definite information we have noted this. We do plan to produce Pieces of Eight for May (and hopefully in subsequent months too) but as an editorial team our overriding priority will be the welfare and safety of our distributors. If a distributor is unable to deliver their round we will try our best to make alternative arrangements but if this isn’t possible we will leave copies of the magazine at both the Spar shop and Aunt Avice. If you don’t receive a copy through the door please pick one up there, and perhaps for friends and neighbours too. We hope we can continue with as many of our regular features as we can, but with no events or meetings happening Pieces of Eight will have rather a lot of space to fill. We thought it would be good if we could fill the gaps with more light-hearted material to help cheer us all up. Ideas so far include extra puzzle pages, more recipes - especially simple ones for store cupboard ingredients, tips to help combat boredom, ideas for remoter places to visit for fresh air & exercise, exercises that can be done indoors or in the garden, and more activities for children to do at home.

ECHINUSESCULENTUS,the larger common sea-urchin, occurs in the British Isles between tide-marks on rocky shores at about low-water spring- tide level in the localities given in Table I, page 292. It is, however, absent from apparently suitable foreshores in-the Plymouth district, for reasons which are discussed in the present paper. Chadwick (1) states - that" In Port Erin Bay it may be collected by hand on the beach, and on the ruined breakwater at low water of spring tides." Elmhirst (2) records that" In this district (Millport) E. esculentus occurs abundantly between tide-marks in spring and early summer on rocky coasts; a few may be found at almost any other season. About February or early March a shoreward migration seems to set in, so that in suitable weather conditions some hundreds may be collected at springs between April and June. Then their abundance decreases until about Novem- ber, from when until January it is at a minimum." Storrow (3) reports that these" sea-urchins were plentiful on the local rocks (at Cullercoats, Northumberland) during July of last year (1920)," and it is known that E.
  • In Search of the Corn Wall

    In Search of the Corn Wall

    In Search of the Corn Wall Adventures in the West Country April 24th - May 4th 2020 Back in the sixties, every July, my mum and dad would make up two beds on the back seat of their Ford Zephyr for my sister and me to ‘sleep’ on, and, in the dead of night, we would drive across London and head off down through Hampshire, Wiltshire and Devon to glorious Cornwall for our annual summer holiday. The excitement was unbearable! The idea was that Michèle and I would sleep soundly for at least seven hours, by which time we would be comfortably near our destination, the little cove of Millendreath, and, although tired, my parents would not have had to endure the daytime traffic and the interminable calls of, “Are we there yet?” from the back seat. Well, as always, the parental plans were only half successful! We knew that we were supposed to be asleep but with our hearts pounding and our imagi- nations racing with thoughts of golden beaches to play on, endless scary two foot waves to surf in, treacherous cliffs to climb, rock pools to go crabbing in and a constant supply of scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, sleep was well nigh impossible! St. Michael’s Mount For me, part of the problem was my fascination with, and eagerness to see, the great ‘Corn Wall’ (in England corn is wheat) which we somehow had to get across in order to reach the cornucopia of pleasures that awaited us. In my small boy’s mind, the ‘Corn Wall’ had taken on mythical status......as long as the Great Wall and as much a barrier between the grim world and the world of fun as the Berlin Wall, both of which my dad had informed me of from his travels abroad.

Herring is a small oily fish related to mackerel and pilchards, feeding mainly on plankton, and shoaling in gigantic numbers. It is an abundant food source for many animals including gannets and gulls, cod, bass and sharks, and dolphins, seals and whales.
