Outside: private level enclosed gardens bordering farmland to one side with further patio areas. DESCRIPTION Kemyell Lodge is situated towards the end of a no-through lane in a delightful rural location with a southerly aspect and views over open countryside to the west towards the sea. The Lodge has been the subject of an imaginative and comprehensive refurbishment which has sympathetically converted the original granite building to a very comfortable three bedroom home. From the entrance hallway there is a very large kitchen/dining room some 27’7” in length which has a vaulted ceiling and is triple aspect. To one end is a well appointed fitted kitchen and there is a lovely outlook through bifold doors which open onto the private enclosed gardens. 3 Ref: LCAA8510 There is a central reception hallway and this opens out into the 22’ sitting room which enjoys a south westerly outlook over countryside to the sea beyond.

To the rear of the barn is a patio and gravelled seating area. It should be noted that conditional planning permission was granted in July 2017 for a roof extension and Juliet balcony on the eastern elevation. Please note that this planning permission has now expired as the three years have elapsed. LOCATION Kemyell Lodge is located towards the end of a no-through country lane in a quite delightful and unspoilt rural location. The picturesque Lamorna Cove which lies at the bottom of a beautiful belt of mature and unspoilt woodland with an attractive stream running through it down to the cove is a short distance away. The valley has many artistic connections and is known for the post-impressionist artist’s such as Alfred Munnings PRA and Lamorna Birch, who came to stay in the early part of the 20th Century and frequented the nearby Lamorna Wink Inn. There is a hotel at the cove and café in the cove itself. 4 Ref: LCAA8510 Lamorna is situated on the most south westerly tip of England and is close to numerous beaches and renowned local attractions such as the Minnack Theatre at Porthcurno, Tate Gallery St Ives and St Michael’s Mount at Marazion. The cove itself has a small beach and a granite harbour with access to many coastal footpaths to take in the view and wildlife which has made this area so popular with artist’s, walkers and ornithologists alike. The super harbourside village of Mousehole and the working fishing village of Newlyn are close by with the town of Penzance with a wide range of business, schooling and leisure facilities are within a few miles. Penzance gives access to the main A30 arterial road through the county and is also the Penzance to Paddington railway line as well as a passenger boat and airlinks to the Isles of Scilly.

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.

Like millions of women, Eve Ensler has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology. Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead.

  • 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.
