Manky git by birth, Scouser, aka Liverpool FC man, by sentiment. But thirty years in Cornwall, sufficient I reckon to qualify me to be able to call tourists "emmets." But, as Raggytash would testify, still fiercely protective of me northern accent. Think Lisa Nandy but less posh. Or just think Lisa Nandy... 😍

One great thing about stoves is that they fill your house with fresh air drawn in from outside. Me mum's house up north is centrally heated and the flues are blocked off. I nearly die within minutes every visit...
