Tattoed Mummy has pipped me to the post with her own Poldark game, which we fully intend to play next Sunday... with a bottle of wine (of course) and probably a plate or two of nibbles for good measure
My own game promises to be somewhat less exciting and demands local knowledge. Yes, it's the Cornwall Place-Spotting Game. The last time I played this was a couple of years ago, whilst watching repeats of Wycliffe. Before that, Lord Peter Wimsey could be observed sleuthing around St Mawgan, Holywell and Polly Joke – places very near where I used to live.
Here are some more places that I often visited when I lived in Cornwall...
The Longships, off Land's End. They just might have been building the first Longships Lighthouse when Elizabeth stood there, but not that one. But hey!.. it's a lovely picture. |

I like this cleverly constructed shot of Botallack, with the smoking chimney, pithead gear and pristine mine buildings. |

Charlestown Harbour. I remember when this was a working harbour, used for the export of china clay, but sadly I never photographed it. |
