It rains in Cornwall! We had rain yesterday, we have rain today and, probably, we will have rain tomorrow. The weather is very cold today - there is an unfriendly wind. There are several miserable summer visitors by the sea. It is June - that is a summer month - and there are only ten more days until the longest day. A neighbour is restoring the walls of his old house. The surface plaster was removed and the stones and cob are exposed. Are those sails? No, they are not. It is sacking to protect the walls. It is blowing in the wind. This little road is very old - it’s called “a lane” in an old map. Nowadays it is called “Lane Lane”! Tom doesn’t know how old his house is. He must wait for the Cornwall Centre to be opened in its new buildings in Redruth to research it.
