I'm not sure where you live; can you tell me?

I esp. like the tides out picture, and the church.

Thanks for sharing!

These were taken round Penzance and The Lizard peninsula.

I am very lucky, essentially I am paid to drive round some of the prettiest bits of scenery.

It looks like country I would feel at home in. I remember (I think) a BBC series set in Cornwall that I liked to watch in the 70's. It was a historical drama (18th c.?) - any idea?

from the books by Winston Graham. He took some of the names from places

Poldark was a mine near Helston (home of the Floral/Furry dance)
Demelza is a hamlet in St Wenn Parish (There are hundreds of Cornish Saints)
Warleggan is another hamlet name, this one on Bodmin Moor
