You can see (and taste) everything that is marvellous in Cornish food and drink. You can see the best animals from many farms. There are displays of vegetables and flowers by growers. Unfortunately, there was terrible weather on Saturday, and the Show was closed early.

Do you like to take salt and malt vinegar with your chips? Is there a better way to eat potatoes? You could get boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, baked potatoes or mashed potatoes, but potatoes cut into bits and fried in deep oil are best with your fish. And mashed potato is good with sausages.

The day before yesterday was the last day of May and the last day of spring.  There are three months in meteorological summer: June, July and August. So, yesterday was the first day of June and the first day of  summer. But the weather does not understand the seasons. There was tropical weather in May before the beginning of summer. Now we have the showers we expected in April.
