Seasonal area
December 2009
Current Seasonal Area is
here
Back in June our Seasonal Area photographer
went for a jolly nice hilly 9-mile walk between Perranwell and
Truro railway stations, via Devoran, Feock and Cowlands. He came
back grumping about inadequate stocks of orange squash and rubbing
a badly-burned nose, but did have some nice pictures of green
hills, bright blue skies and wide expanses of blue water for us
to flick through. The lucky picture, reproduced in reduced size
below, shows the village of Cowlands on one of the hottest days
of the year, with its rather attractive creek and collection of
fishing boats.
Six months on it was decided that it
would be good fun to send our photographer off to retake the picture
and see what it looks like in winter (or late Autumn, depending
on your view on when the joint between the seasons is). The view
is now mostly grey, with the little variety from green fields
and brown mudflats being extensively mixed with more grey. The
tide is out and the boats have been pulled up on the mudflats.
You'll be pleased to hear that our
photographer does not have a badly-burnt nose this time and did
not run out of liquid; indeed, the God of Weather kindly supplied
him with vast quantities of additional free liquid during the
two hours it took to walk from Cowlands to Perranwell. Our photographer
does not seem particularly grateful for this and instead grumpily
brought back a disintegrating sheet of bright, sunny photographs
that he was supposed to be copying, draped his trousers over a
radiator and put in an expenses claim for some new footwear. This
has been sat on so he has stomped off to read the latest issue
of Modern Railways and pass comment on the "Blood
and Custard" page, which apparently features a load of bull.
The house which was for sale in Cowlands
when we were last there has apparently now sold and seems to have
met its intended £1,250,000 guide price. We hope the new
owner is pleased with the view that they will have for the next
four months. If you have £1,000,000 and want to live two
miles from the nearest two lane road, maybe you should consider
Cowlands - at least, when one of the houses next comes up for
sale.
