Fun Stuff and items of interest

We are over half way through 2020, a year of major changes for all of us. Many will have stayed at home, tackling the garden, decorating, home tutoring and maybe taking up a new hobby.  We would love you to share your successes by sending us an image and a short piece telling us a bit about it.  illoganconnect@yahoo.com

Tower clock draft.jpg

A little poem for all you

Churchtown walkers

8.30 in Illogan

It’s always 8.30 in Illogan

The Church clock tells us so

Its been that way for ages

The one thing we all know.

 

It’s always 8.30 in Illogan

Though the Church clock doesn’t chime

We can set our watches by it

And know we have the right time.

JLT 2020
