Well within reach of some splendid wool shops though, and, if you ever show signs of coming this way, I will tell you about them.<BR/>You certainly don't mention Jersey Royals to a Cornish farmer! Gulval is on that south-facing slope, and the land has been enriched with tons of seaweed over the years, so that it is known as the golden mile from the crops of potatoes and cauliflower, known locally as "broccolow". When I was young, the cheap way to get to London was by Broccolow Lorry - they travelled overnight to Covent Garden every night except Sunday in the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
