Autumn in Cornwall – a great time to visit
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 exception in every way. The […]
Daughters and mothers, in that order
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 all she had to go […]
Pining for Poldark?
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 the week and that not […]
A Poldark Film Unit Guide to Cornwall Locations.
Film locations can by tricky in Cornwall… A quick aide memoir if you’re lost! Something has occurred to me, the film crews are not local! In traversing Cornish lanes and navigating their way around around our picturesque land to their locations they may be having a nightmare of a time manoeuvring their convoy if making […]
“I was born in London, …But I was Maiden Cornwall”
Some of the old campaigners have dispersed back to their homelands but there is a small and dedicated force of resistance fighters that remain in Cornwall who have made the most of days off by catching up with laundry, filling freezers with easy cook dinner options that can be passed off at short notice as […]
Lost count of Days.. I Made it! and back Alive (I may need to be captured again..just to make sure, you understand)
It was an adventure, the Annie’s were never seen again but then that may have been because the cast and crew retreated en Masse to a new encampment and no more cake was required. Even before they’d left, we had received intelligence of their next possible advance. Almost simultaneously I received a badly coded message […]
Following Poldark: Fangirl Down!
Following Poldark ( day 2?3?…8? Who the hell knows,) Fangirl Down! Far Lookers at the ready ! It’s a fickle mistress this fangirl stuff! Fangirl? Who the hell am I kidding, three grandmothers at least amongst us, but Fan-sad-old-woman is a bit of a mouthful. Day two on the wall following Poldark and the incumbents […]
HRT and a pint of Guinness. A story from a wall, somewhere near some mines in West Cornwall ……. With a miniature film crew in the distance!
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 , well two walls actually […]
Following Poldark? The Uncontrollable Flash Flood!
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 more than once at St […]
