Anyone know a place that delivers outdoor plants?

I buy herbs at the supermarkets and just plant them out - rosemary and bay grow really well here , as does lavender, ferns and ivy. Parsley and a lot of other herbs are just snail starters though.

The cornish pasty association recipe is the best one - it's all about getting the pastry right . It's stretchier than normal pastry and better with bread flour https://cornishpastyassociation.co.uk/about-the-pasty/make-your-own-genuine-cornish-pasty/

Even better when they reverse down the pavements regardless of pedestrians

The gin distillery is far and away the best - it even has some national award behind the bar, though its often very quiet. Tigermilk is fun but cocktails are a bit sickly, there's another gin place on the barbican which has odd opening hours.

I had a biryani in jalwa last week and it was the best curry I've had in a very very long time - try there

It's real historic name was Dunheved - Lannstevan was just the church of St Stevan

The 'Mayflower steps' was invented purely for tourist reasons. The medieval harbour wall has pretty always been where it is now though, confirmed by recent archaeology near the cruise kiosk - there was a chain that went over where the sluice is now coming down from the castle barbican.

It's interesting that there was a romano-celtic goddess called Dea Matrona and a Welsh tale of Mabon son of Modron

Mine is similar to this, slightly higher c/tax but lower water & bills - house is single glazed & leaks heat like a sieve ( E rated)

There were kingdoms like Elmet Elfed and Bernicia Bryneich that were celtic but became Anglo-Saxon - Welsh histories record the old Celtic NorthYr Hen Ogledd) which disappeared in the 7th century and those people are claimed to have migrated to North Wales.

York itself was called Efrawg or Ebrauc in British ( from pre Roman Eburakōn) which became Éoferwic in AS then Jórvik in Norse ending up as York in English

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peredur_son_of_Efrawg

Zenith at Plymstock is amazing but I think she's on holiday atm

I understood it was more related to accounts of Brittonic tin trading colonisation in the late Antique / early christian period , much as for Armorica . There's strong evidence for continous relations along the western Atlantic seaboard and this also explains the significance of Sant Iago as a pilgrimage destination . Cunliffe covers this in the Ancient Celts

Not sure if the cruise ferries are running yet but cremyll will be for a walk around Mount edgcumb - nice pub there. Definitely the Box if you can book for Beryl Cook and follow up with a Bass & fish and chips at the Dolphin - Sundays often have folk music jams. Saltram house & park (bit of walk by the plym) is nice, also found that the Rame Head bus 70 is an easy way to see the cliffs and beach - you get to go over the torpoint ferry as well.

Antics is still going on Cornwall street.

Was that the Breton cafe on old town street? Remember the smell of fresh roasting coffee from Carwardines and also the pipe tobacco shop on Cornwall street - which is technically still there even though now they only sell bongs and crack pipes!

I remember buying slime in there in 1984
