Bits and bods on my home town, for all whom it may concern.

A potted intro, not entirely flattering but basically accurate. The centre's in the throes of a much-delayed makeover, so is progressively getting poshed up and prettified.

A more colourful piece from the local historical society. We're not the most exciting of towns but we do have some nice bits of building round the place. :)

Lo, our rail station has its own Wikipedia entry.

A ghost story. The southwest has more phantom hounds than rabbits, almost.

Although the town itself has little to offer the visitor (in fact some might even describe it as being pretty grim!) ...

I'm not worried about that. The Cornish countryside is bound to be gorgeous and having grown up in places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas, I feel "grim" is a matter of opinion. ;)

I'm quite excited.

St. Austell does look a lot nicer than Truro, and has the added advantage of not being where Relatives who I want to Avoid Live. Would you mind if I came to say hello while you're in the country? I do need an excuse to use the Night Riviera.

Okay. Drop me a line when you know your plans. And if you're ever visiting Oxford, ask me to show you where to get the best ice cream and find the hidden entrance to the Turf Tavern.

Say, my old station has an entry too! Shame the don't have any decent photos of the station -- I should provide one from my own collection. Follow the link to Knaresborough for better scenery...
