I live on the border of Devonshire and Cornwall which is pretty rural and full of wild moorland, woods and farms, surrounded by coast. If you are a farmer you can't afford to be sentimental.
ha, you live on the Devonshire/Cornwall border?
Yeah. I can see it across the water and take a boat, ferry or drive to it across the Tamar Bridge or I can drive across the moors and get there that way. I probably have as many friends in Cornwall as in Devon. We have a separate North and South coast unlike any other English county ( Cornwalls are Joined at Lands End ). We are just across the water from Breton which is quite different than the rest of France and share a common ancestry with many place names and words reflecting this. The Bretons, Cornish , Devonians and Welsh are basically the same crew originally and we used to be known as West Wales.
