Cornwall was lovely and fully met my high expectations of beauty and atmosphere. Contrary to my weather expectations, it was wet and cold. In Dublin, Northern Ireland and the south-east of England, we were pleased we’d brought shorts. However, it was for our time in Cornwall that we’d included them in our luggage. Fortunately, we didn’t come to the U.K. to swim, and the sights of Cornwall were made even more beautiful by the rain.
My grasp of reality was obscured at times as I wondered about Ross, Demelza and Morwenna, and for this fixation I thank my cousin Allison without whom I would not have known the Poldark series existed. I regret that we left Perth when we had only finished series 3. Seeing many of the filming locations while watching the series made exploring Cornwall even more enjoyable.
