I would have been hooked by the mention of pirates too. I wouldn't have picked up the Cornish name though but I do have very fond memories of time in Polperro when I was ten and on holidays during our big trip os.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034683570321410224.post-69707849200939163272011-01-31T02:40:17.142+00:002011-01-31T02:40:17.142+00:00Thank you for your enthusiasm and kind words and I...Thank you for your enthusiasm and kind words and I'm so glad you have enjoyed the week!

Oh dear...<br /><br />I have three Violet Trefusis books, bought because of her connection with Woolf and Sackville-West, although I have yet to read any of them. This isn't one of the ones I own...
