The post accompanying the photo reads: “Our fantastic Friday fundraiser is 10- year-old Lucas, who spent his summer hand painting shells which he sold at the car park in Cadgwith to raise money for Cornwall Air Ambulance. He raised a wonderful £146.41. Lucas came to the airbase to hand over the donation to our paramedic Jeremy. Well done Lucas!” Well done, indeed. That’s a lot of shells! 3 D I S T R I B U T O R S C O N T R I B U T I O N S Cadgwith Shirley Lee Please send contributions to the Editor’s Cadgwith South John Fallows email address shown below.
