I have happy memories of growing up in seaside town of Mombasa (Kenya) and dreaming of similar seaside resorts when I moved to Midlands with my family in 1963. I finally made to the Cornish coastline numerous times during my early years of growing up and working in London.
Last week, I decided to go down the memory lane and visit some of the popular sites. Though the county of Cornwall is going through some rough times ( unemployment, drug addiction, closure of mines etc) the county is still very much alive for the tourists. Charlestown is popular with the film industry, Rick Stein with his famous restaurants has helped to put Padstow on the map of England and Newquay is haven for sea suffers. Little coastal town of Mevagissey welcomes everyone with car park where you are served by a car park attendant rather than by a machine!
