Notes from a Cornish Shed: Another Shedload

Welcome back to Pete's Cornish shed, where you'll find a generous second helping of treats from his popular Backalong column in Cornwall Today magazine. Some familiar themes are revisited. He's still devoted to his geese and chickens, still thinking about what it means to be Cornish, and still praying that frost won't wipe out his tender exotics. But he's also baffled as to why people have started queueing at the bar of his local, and how Ross Poldark always manages to travel directly inland to Truro by galloping for miles along the coast path. He agonises over when to pull the plug on a doomed fishing trip, offers advice on coping with the onslaught of summer house guests, and explains why many Cornish people just don't get the phrase 'north/south divide'. Most importantly, he still hasn't found his flip-flop.
