  • Abstract

    Surprise evening for the vicar where they’ve booked a barndance group. She loves dancing. Met Fred when 16, he never minded her dancing. Shilling dances at St Merryn ‘you walked everywhere’. With today’s traffic your taking your life in your hands. Singing carols at Trevone chapel this year, every year they alternate between church and chapel. ‘Better than in, making yourself miserable’. Health is worth more than wealth.
