Afternoon all. Had a terrific gang of people today on the History Walk!
Six of them were Pardoes from Maine in NE United States and related to John Pardoe the Liberal party politician for North Cornwall. He is now 92 years old, so well done to him.
Unusually for the walk, I had some youngsters within the group but apart from some initial yawns, they were great fun and asked some brilliant questions. One asked me, “What do guardsmen in London keep under their bearskin helmets? Their lunch?” Fabulous question.
Sadly two of my booked guests couldn’t make it as Sue had toothache so had visit the dentist. Get better soon Sue. Next time you are in Padstow, let me know and I’ll do the walk for you and Derek.
The group is pictured below and are
Lyndsey, Christopher and Eva. John, Jacob, Caleb and Danielle. Andrea and Jon.
Thanks all
