Pink Granite Cider Trough

Hello everyone, as most of you know by now we are moving to Exmoor. We are taking the cows with us - they are currently on an extended holiday at Pendeen. The family that are moving in are French with two little girls. Their English is excellent. For the first couple of years the cottage will be a holiday home whilst M. Chevalier finishes his training as a Chiropractor, (he was an air line pilot).  Once qualified they will live here permanently. At least that's the plan at the moment.

Meanwhile we are busy packing up. The Chevaliers don't want our granite cider trough so its up for sale. Its 38 inches in diameter- we have used it as a big bird bath (placed with a slight slope backwards to hold water) or trigged up on some rings of wood to make a coffee table. Or start your own cider production!

Anyway, its currently on a pallet ready for moving. If it is bought within the village we will make a donation to the church room funds. Looking for about £450 but quite happy to haggle. That's what was paid at Lodge and Thomas many years ago - so it will go back there if not sold.

Phone Nick or Karen on 711875 if interested. Thanks

Update On Trenow Quarry Footpath

Hello Perranuthnoe,

Some of you may remember filling in footpath forms a few years back, to get the footpath reopened up through the quarry gate at Trenow. I thought it about time you had an update.

It is still lodged with the County Council and has now moved up to 21 out of 151 applications. They did say it would take a while but it looks like we may get to the top of the list in the next 18 months or so. You needed 20 applications spanning the 20 years prior to the gate being locked. In the end I had 38 applications spanning 96 years, so we will get there.

Some of you may have heard rumours that I am moving. I am selling the smaller meadows to buy bigger fields to put the cows in. I will certainly be seeing the application through to its conclusion.

Happy new year to you all Karen
