Hi Rob,
Well, have just watched the 'Tamar Valley Clan' doing their thing in the copper mines.
What can I say? Great entertainment for the masses, but reminds me a little bit of 'The Combe Martin Clan' who can embroider history (as they see it) with the most flamboyant of believable anecdotes!
I particularly liked the explanation of 'fossicking', which here in the north of the county appears to have a substantially different meaning.
I also just wonder what the Cornish would say regarding the attempts at a 'Devon' pastie?
But we try our best! Let's stick to the archaeology where facts are facts!
And great thanks to the blacksmith who was the only one who appeared to really know his craft - good stuff that.
Anyway, off for a glass o Devon scrumpy to drown any sorrows I may have.
Kind regards,
Trevor
