Subject: RE: BS: Cornish toes? Take your shoes off
Great article, Jeanie, thanks. Interesting about the Roman little toes. Mine are almost non existant. Animaterra and the other Irish cousins, Saint Piran for one made the crossing from Ireland to Cornwall. Of course he was forced to by Irish nasties. He floated on a mill-stone that they tied around his neck. As my ancestors were Cornish millers and also Cornish sailors. ("Semmens" from Sea-men) I feel quite close to Saint Piran. The other Cornish family of mine were miners. The name they sent down the ages for us was "Bolitho" which is Cornish for "Big Belly". Great!!
Very wise of your people, Little Robyn, they probably heard about the plans for the freeway. Joy
