June 30 2018 - Day About with Angela

 Troon is about 3 miles from Angela's house.

 This  is a ROAD in Troon.   We had to drive behind these people until they came to a tiny shoulder to stand in with their stroller so we could get by.

 Angela's parent's lived here.
 David Trestrail's house.  Inside is beautiful.

I just learned in my Ancestry.com research that this is a church my relatives from the Camborne area were lifelong members and that they lived in Knave Go Bye

 old Cornish name  - Praze-an-Beeble is a medium-sized village situated on a cross-roads between Camborne (two and a half miles) and Helston (seven miles). The name translates from the Cornish as 'meadow on the River Beeble' and sure enough the River Beeble, a fairly feeble tributary of the River Hayle, does run through the bottom of the village.

The origins of Praze-an-Beeble are uncertain although it is assumed that it began existence as an estate village attached to Clowance House, a two minute walk from the pub. Clowance, once the main residence of the St Aubyn family, is now a country club and holiday complex.

 We were 2 miles from ocean beach in Porthleven but didn't go as it was a weekend and parking is difficult there.

 I had family members from Helston long ago.  Man made lake was nice to walk around.
 Took Hayle route back to Camborne.
