The Best Things

• Its great living here, you get the beach, the stone circles the field, beautiful places, beautiful people, everyone so warm, friendly and welcoming. (Been here 5 months) we are self employed and people really seem to want to help you get established, has great train service to direct to Paddington
• The weather
• Us
• Golowan Festival late June - 12 days of mayhem, fireworks, street entertainment, drinking.........You can't beat it anywhere
• Pub, club2k,
• Co-op in Newlyn is open till 10pm every night!Shit we've never had it so good...
• the bums that are around the town are always entertaining to laugh at and abuse. treeman in particular from st just, he has a bald head with long grey hair around the sides, he doesnt like being called a redneck although it is funny to see his reactions

• Golowan Festival in June with live Music and Street Theatre
• Rural small town tranquility
• The realisation of Celtic culture, especially of the link with fellow Brythonic countries Cymru(Wales) and Breizh(Brittany): "Kernow Kensa!"
• THE SEA FRONT, FRESH AIR AND THE WEATHER
• Being next to the sea now its been cleaned-up...Allegedly!! Lovely countryside, mainly unspoiled. The pubs along the seafront. Fishing. Surfing. The weather...Really! (except btn Sept & May) Most of the locals (see The Worst Things)
• Jubilee Pool, on hot summer days in the 1960's when we used to go down in our swimsuits and laze around the top balcony.Supposed to be revising for our exams! Corpus Christi Fair, mind you it usually rained when it was here!(Back in the 60's)
• People.

• Friday/ Staurday nights, if you have body armour and a sponge, or Saturday mornings for shopping. Also the magnificent Penlee House Art Gallery (mega-cheap somedays for entry)
• Loads of pubs (haunted),
• Definitely the gorgeous beach on St. Ives Bay....3 miles long a lot better than the St. Ives beaches.
