    In 1974, my Gran retired and they moved from Golders Green to Little Petherick. We used to spend every Summer in Cornwall and link up with them one way or another. In 1975 or 6, we kids were in the sea (very shallow, below my nine or ten year old knees). I can't remember the 20. Mum was with...
