In some places, like Helford Village, over half of the properties are second homes or holiday let's. Accommodation us a huge problem here, especially for seasonal workers.

Outsiders. Non Cornish people.
You need to go back 3 generations or more to be classed as Cornish.

We havnt got the 2nd home thing yet, and TBH, cant see it happening any time soon. But the house opposite to us went for £1.8 m last year, (Chinese fella), and the house, well plot really, next door went for £1.2 m (including the rebuild) a month or so later.
Its why me and me semi detatched neighbour have a pact. One sells, we both sell. Which is great for us, but hopeless for the yoof.

Why aren’t they grockles any more ?
Good morning everybody. I'm off to Liverpool shortly. I'm very much looking forward to this trip. I usually do anyway but one of my cousins has organised lunch tomorrow for all the cousins on my Mums side of the family. We're going to Ma Bakers in Castle Street.Never been but it gets a good write up. I'm excited about it. There will be 11 of us. The only one missing is my brother who is on Australia.
I'm staying until Monday because I didn't want to have to rush back and I can also have a drink. Then on Monday I'm out with my girlfriends for a meal to celebrate what would have been another friend's 60th birthday. Sadly she passed away in 2015 from leukaemia.
How is everybody doing? Hope you are all OK. I find this time of the year really gloomy and miserable. It's tough to motivate yourself to do anything of note. Have a lovely day all x

No idea mate. I am talking over 40 years ago mind! Cornwall was very different back then. Maybe Grockles meant tourists, and emment means outsiders settling/second homers.

Didn’t it used to have it’s own currency as well?
It sounds like the rules to join the Unione Corse or Cosa nostra.

Safe journey and have a great time, sounds as though you will. Lovely way to remember your friend on her birthday, bound to be loads of great memories.
Not much planned myself, might watch a bit of football for a change, haven’t seen much this week. lol Have a good day, all.?
Little xmas lunch is rice pud with cinnamon sprinkled on and of course sugar.

Grockles is not a phrase I'm familiar with. I'm an emmet and proud.

Rice is my go to carb but I've never taken to rice pudding. My old dad used to love it, especially with a browned skin and a dollop of strawberry jam.
Not a risotto fan either but love rice in any other form.

They are a really friendly lot, just very proud and protective of their heritage.
I remember Cal and I went to a place called Lostwithiel last August. It's somewhere we've passed through dozens of times over the years but never stayed there. There was a music and food festival on nearby and The Human League were headlining. It's a good 90 minute drive from where we lived so we decided to stay over and were booked into the local pub. Anyway I'm ready well before Cal so go down to the bar for a pint whilst i'm waiting. As I said, they're a friendly lot and it's not long before I'm in a conversation with the locals. I made the mistake of mentioning that they lived in a beautiful village and for the next 20 minutes got chapter and verse on why Lostwithiel was a town and a history of the place going back to the dark ages.
Cal eventually joined us and entered the conversation. Her opening gambit was, "Just love your village"lol
