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
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.
