Hi Keith thanks for the message we live in mid Cornwall about 4 miles from St. Austell they still wear braces and play the banjo where I come from Keith no doubt we will speak again Best wishes Kenny Boy

[Keith at Tregenna]

Must have been a Celtic thing, remember an old map where all of Wales was described as Wales and Cornwall as South Wales.

Enjoy the site.

Hi Keith.
I had never thought about "TREGENNA",but for some reason
I thought that you were from Penarth in South Wales.

Originally Barry Dock, been around a bit, Penarth is my current residence for now.

Wherever I lay my hat etc.
