Cornwall A Land Which Haunts Your Very Soul
Cornwall
a rugged peninsula
a fiercely independent people
its language
its myths and legends
its industries and religions
...Cornwall
a land of its people
a misty land of gales and wind-farms
twisted hedgerows and contorted trees
weekend sailors and professional surfers
...Cornwall
a land of sea and sky
Cornwall
an ancient land
of grey slate hung farmhouses
monuments and stone built churches
structures built to last
...Cornwall
a land of resilience
Cornwall
a land to fire up your creativity
poets and artists
betjeman and langley
trebetherick and the newlyn school
...Cornwall
a land of inspiration
and a land of verdant beauty
moorland peaks and sandy beaches
open vistas and heather verges
fishing ports and river inlets
of craggy cliffs rising from the sea
...Cornwall
a land which haunts your very soul

Who'd be a crow?
such a great CV!
intelligent
adaptable
found on most continents
a great team player with great communication skills
an ability to pass on knowledge
known to make and use rudimentary tools
known to communicate with other species
an ability to identify humans by their facial features!
...I'd like to be a crow!
