my name is not oscar

Tara from Days missed on a hammock has given our blog the Arte y Pico award. Thank you Tara. Tara, although a New Yorker, lives on a long island and is therefore more Cornish than most and a fan of Spot's digressions and indiscretions. When you stop to think about it the net is drawing us all together in a way that none of us could have possibly imagined even ten years ago. Sharing our rich, if rural, life with anyone who cares to pop in for a look gives us the greatest possible satisfaction. Thank you for taking the time to look.

downtown Rezare


quiet enough to play football in the street

sacred wells


the site of an ancient sacred spring in Rezare. This site and others are described at the Megalith information site (link). I can find very little information on Rezare (which might be because it appears to have been called Besair on the 1765 map see link)

Dunterton Church

unmistakeably from the same job lot as Stoke Climsland church but on the other side of the river (see previous page for view from the other side of the river.
