Cornwall to Tasmania! That is quite a transition. lx

I came across you via #MondayBlogs, I was born and raised in Cornwall, now I live in Tasmania yet still yearn for my home. I look forward to looking around your blog and reading a bit about home

Congrats on your publishing acceptance! Yes, Cornwall hasn’t always done the right things with regards to planning but it is still a stunning!

But afraid to be considered ‘too autobiographical’ I then transferred her family to a part of Wales that looked a bit like inland Cornwall. The report I got from ‘ a leading editor’ said that setting it in Wales – unless in the mountains or a deprived mining area – was not good for sales!

But I stuck with the corner of Wales I’d chosen and I’m glad to report that it has been accepted for publication.

I am currently writing a more romantic story set in Cornwall. But NB This is one of the poorest areas in the UK. And does not have a proud record as regards planning – many a view has been ruined by new buildings and caravan sites.

Suzanne – it’s worth the detour down to the South West to Cornwall! Hope your trip happens. lx

I’ve never been. It’s on my “turning 50” list and just yesterday, I googled airfare for the first time. Your piece makes me want to include Cornwall as a “must see.” Evocative and tantalizing!
