Cornwall in Frame
It’s been a while. I got…busy. Then I went to England! Before I had a chance to digest my last pasty, I was stoned on sleep deprivation in Beijing Capital Airport, shuffling on autopilot towards the gate to board a plane back to Harbin, where I would have another 2-hour bus ride to my new apartment in Daqing.
We stayed within the UK this time, but if you didn’t know better, the scenery would often read as somewhere more Mediterranean. When it comes right down to it, Cornwall is a distinctive region in Britain with a rich heritage and culture all its own. So much so, in fact, that there was a burgeoning independence movement at one point.
Depending on who you talk to, some of that sentiment remains. We weren’t there to take sides. We were just there for the pasties. Oh, and the clotted cream ice cream. Perhaps the beer as well. Let’s just say we ate and drank well on this trip. Cornwall also had plenty of yummy stuff for the eyes, as you’ll see below. I’m going to stop talking now; more of the trip in the captions. ◉
