Thank you Carole g, St Ives still retains a charm, but not so many of the real Cornish. I remember quite a few old timers I meet when I was younger as well my own relatives, but they are getting rarer.
Chris Trick I moved to St Ives in 1974 and worked the Jasmine, Celtic Lass and Frisky for 5 years I had to leave the sea because no one would give a fisherman a mortgage and so joined the Ambulance Service where I worked as a front line ambulance and was stationed in St Ives for 32 years. I had the privilege to have fished with Dan Roach ,John f Toman ,William John Ninnis ( legger) and too many others to list but between them taught me everything from rigging and using a mizzen to fishing from Newlyn in the winter for Mackerel. Infact I still tie feathers the old way with chicken neck feathers and whipping
thank you enjoyed this,i have been visiting cornwall for nearly fifty years and if truth be told the only thing that ever changes are the shop signs, look above the shop signs and see the past,
yes i agree the last few times ive been down it appears there is a german invasion since brexit , the ones i spoke to were lovely ,but these days local accents are becoming almost impossible to come across ,which is lamentable.
