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.

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.
