When Autumn Comes to Poldark’s Cornwall Autumn in Cornwall brings with it nature’s great and beautiful masterpieces. It’s difficult to take a bad picture when every colour invades the lens. In Cornwall we usually have a languid transition from summer to fall but this year has been somewhat of an […]
Houmous hasn’t always been in the shops you know! The average twenty something probably won’t remember that Edam only shrunk itself to Babybels when we lost the ability to use a cheese knife and cut chunks off a big piece. The most child size cheese available when I was little […]
No one prepares a woman for motherhood. No one can. Growing up we may or may not have our own mother to learn from, either to try and replicate or perhaps even, better her efforts. Efforts are all we have to go on and the realities are that efforts are […]
It’s a funny limbo sort of day, Wednesday. It’s got it’s own nickname “Hump Day” which is nonsense! Slump Day would be worse of course but the fact is its three days since the last Poldark and another three till the next one! It’s the most Poldark free day of […]

Yes, it’s official. We’re all mad! Admittedly, some madder than others but to a greater or lesser degree universally certifiable! I am of course referring to Aidan’s Maidens, a gorgeously bonkers group of women of varying ages but with a definite post menopausal bias. Today we sat on a wall […]
It’s been a hectic year so far for Poldark’s Cornwall and our followers and now we can give you more of what you want. So far following Poldark series 3 being filmed we have watched (from a respectful distance) the cast on Holywell Beach, above Hawkers Cove near Padstow and […]
