Hi Sarah and Andrew when my father was a young boy[your grandfather Andrew] when walking over the hills to the mine each morning a man walking in front of him was silhouetted against the skyline. He always thought the man looked like a bottle of sauce -brown H.P. The story is in the book I wrote called 'The Turn of the Wheel' which relates the life of your grandfather when he was young. Great video as usual.
It was fantastic to ketchup (🙂) with all your peregrinations searching out the wonderful curiosities and oddities along the highways & byways of Cornwall. Particularly enjoyed the atmospheric St Cohan church (hope it gets rescued), King St Doniert's stones and their beautiful setting, and the quirky Roger's Tower castle folly & its views. This is exactly why I love Cornwall ~ thank you! :)
Hi both, back in the 80's I swam through Merlins Cave with my Golden Retriever, His name was Bimbo (after the Jim Reeves song) back & forth for about 40 mins, I just followed him. It was the summer & the sea was very calm. A fab memory for me. I've been back to Tintagel many times. (we used to call it 'Tint & Gel' after the hair product that was sold for the 'New Romantic Pop trend :)'
Charles de Gaulle? I also thought it looked like Alfred Hitchcock. Merther church looked fascinating, especially from your stills. Nice to see 'two dogs wide ' again.
Nice memories of your videos. I had just thrown out a Heinz tomato ketchup bottle when I sat down to watch this! 😄Something I didn't know about Cape Cornwall! And the lovely old ruined church. So sad it is in decline and you can no longer get access to it. Hope you went and had a hot chocolate after the visit to the Cape....gosh it looked cold❄. The rocks behind the Cape are a feature in the Poldark advertising pictures with Ross looking out to sea! Lovely video you guys x J x
Very interesting video again, never visited Cape Cornwall with its quirky chimney, no saucy jokes please Andrew 😅 I thought the outlying rock formation looked rather like Alfred Hitchcock taking a dip in the ocean 🌊 I remember most of these videos but the funniest 😂 was the hundred and then some steps 🫣 thank you 🙏 Sarah & Andrew for another entertaining edit 🥰🥀🤗
Fascinating video! Love the carved stone head of Merlin and charming cobbled streets accompanied by sqawking seagulls! ❤. Beautiful views through foley’s windows. Beautiful Cornwall!
Thank you for this great display of many of Cornwall's lovely and interesting places! I am lucky to have visited most of these, and am looking forward to more trips to this beautiful and intriguiging area. Lucky you to see all the narcissi around King Doniert's Stone 🙂 When we were there late July 2022, there was not one single flower, but very nicely maintained grass 🙂Thank you again for making all this effort for us 🥰 Torunn.
A fun re-visit of some interesting places. Nice the Heinz company saved that lovely bit of coast from modern builders, though when it comes to ketchup, I prefer the 'upside down' squeeze bottle, lol. That church was so mysterious! I love old graveyards, and it was great to compare the site with you prior photos. We have ivy that looks like that...not sure how old it is, but our house has been here for 93 years. The Merry Maidens are great! I remember about the two Piper stones and AEthelstan, King of the Saxons. The older the history, the more it gives me chills! Always enjoy your adventures! Cheers from California!
Great video! I was going to ask What makes Cape Cornwall a cape? Google to the rescue ... The term cape is the point of land where two bodies of water meet. Cape Cornwall is one of only two capes in the United Kingdom. You learn something new every day! Thanks guys.
Andrew and Sarah. Lovely video thank you. Have been to some of those place including Cape Cornwall (did you get a picture of the plaque?). I loved the church at Merther, would like to go there, looks very interesting and peaceful. So sad it was abandoned just two months after the end of WW2. I wonder the reason why. Lovely to hear the sound over of the peel of bells. 💕
Thanks for the warning. When we were in St Ives the Tate was closed for the three says we were there, so we didn't even get a look at the art let alone have a meal with a sea view.😢
Thank you for a great video....due to health issues I could not do the walks anymore but you bring back happy memories of many days spent walking in Cornwall
Hi Sarah and Andrew, it was great to see some of your many rambles, I especially love the walks you do, seeing the flowers and the views, I do envy you living such a beautiful place, it's great to see you again, best wishes from a sunny Kent 👍👍
Lots of us out here in Australia have roots in Cornwall....All my relatives are buried at St Dennis in the south West corner of the graveyard the family name is Hooper...My Great great grandfather is buried at St Gomedas Church at Roche....Our next door neighbour here for the last 103 years name is Roach from Roche Cornwall...
Hi Sarah and Andrew. I loved seeing your mixed video this week. It was great seeing all the odd things in one video. The stack did look like a tomato sauce bottle. I am glad Heinz brought the area and gave it to the National trust to keep those nasty developed hands of it so people can enjoy the natural beauty of Cape Cornwall.
Why do they prevent people going near a lovely old church when it could be renovated by someone? It seems they would rather like it to fall down into oblivion. I was also told never walk on a grave and, as a child would run and take a jump over a beautiful black gravestone that was laid in the way of a footpath in the churchyard where my family members are all buried. We seemingly had a large family at one time. Such a sad place.
Beautiful and interesting, just love Cornwall. 💝
Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)

You two always brighten my Fri -day, over here in the USA.

Me too! And we still keep finding these wonderful things, so interesting! Sarah :)
Oooh...ENJOYED it so much.
( Loved your dignified way of going around and speaking about the old church and graveyard !)
Great video, I'm still laughing at the bucket castle, not to mention General De Gaulle in the bath, brilliant 😅👍
Thanks for making Friday night relaxing. Wet and dark outside and you are bringing back fond memories.
Gosh I can’t choose which I like best there alll so interesting to me,I did like Merlin’s face on the rock how clever was that. Thanks so much.❤
LOVE this curiosities format! What a great video - thank you! Jo x

Lovely to go down memory lane with you - I reckon you could write a book on the Curiosities of Cornwall - Brilliant editing Sarah - we enjoyed it.
Love the folly and the old church there,s something cute with old buildings
Now I have found you both I cannot wait to see your next videos. 👍
Great Collection, thank You
Charles de Gaulle? I also thought it looked like Alfred Hitchcock. Merther church looked fascinating, especially from your stills. Nice to see 'two dogs wide ' again.
Very interesting wild windy weather, too

Very interesting. Thank you for putting this together.
So @ 41:58 Mr Mallet of Veryan went to Australia to become a Pommemallet 😂. So much info on so many places, good work thanx.
Love history.
Smugglers House was a restaurant back in the seventies. We dined there in 1976
Fascinating video! Love the carved stone head of Merlin and charming cobbled streets accompanied by sqawking seagulls! ❤. Beautiful views through foley’s windows. Beautiful Cornwall!

History is so powerful! It gives me goosebumps sometime! Sarah :)
great mix! I visited the Merry Maidens on an extremely foggy day. The photos I took turned out so atmospheric.
I bet! I can just imagine that! Sarah :)
Great video! I was going to ask What makes Cape Cornwall a cape? Google to the rescue ...
The term cape is the point of land where two bodies of water meet. Cape Cornwall is one of only two capes in the United Kingdom.

I believe there is a Doniert stone over near Castle An Dinas near St Columb in mid Cornwall.

Lovely memories
Sarah, could you get any more hats and hoods on? 🤣😂🤣
Ha! Ha! It was bitterly cold, so the more the better! Sarah :)
Cape Cornwall is great....

Amazing video one of your best, such fascinating stories. I watch every episode and always, eagerly await the next. 😁😁👍👍✔✔
Thank you so much 😀
Opportunity for the tomato joke perhaps

Have you been to Carn Braie above Camborne .?

Farmer let uou on his land and. NO COWS. Fab.. 😮
Which Village ?. Plague of Zombies spread through a Cornish Village. Hammer Horror Film. Cheers from old George
Once considered to be the most westerly point, not Lands End.
I am still waiting to find out what the joke was about "CSI Mevagissey"🤔
Hello my bewties! 👋🏻
Mallett must have started another family in Australia if the girl was from Australia.
Why do they prevent people going near a lovely old church when it could be renovated by someone? It seems they would rather like it to fall down into oblivion. I was also told never walk on a grave and, as a child would run and take a jump over a beautiful black gravestone that was laid in the way of a footpath in the churchyard where my family members are all buried.

Such a sad place.
Looks more like Alfred Hitchcock lol
