In August 2005 I was at Chapel Porth beach with my family when a pod of Dolphins started to jump out of the waves, surf and generally show off. It reminded me of how lucky we are to live in an area of such natural beauty and to see wildlife that some people pay thousands of pounds to see.
In November 2007 i moved down to redruth from plymouth back to all my family and friends. That is my favourite memory.
My nana spent her childhood at Treverva,near Falmouth. My nana has noticed the roads have improved,which opens up the county to the rest of england.Also Cornwall has alot more non cornish. My nana thought better things in Cornwall are it's a more relaxed way of life, also there is alot less crime and you are not afraid to go out at night. My nana said that Cornwall seems to have been forgotton.Also there is very little industry and alot of jobs are low paid. Also house prices are very high. My nanas favourite memories is of growing up in a small village and being able to play without any fear of being hurt by i.e traffic. My nana also said you can't beat a cornish pasty.
Um...
I moved down here when I saw six and my mum was pregnant with my sister, My fave memory was seeing her in hospital. :)
