My favourite sayings are ...
Find a hole in the ground; there be a Cornishman at bottom.
Find a Somerset man and he's making zoyder, so he says.

The Indian Queen Inn story is the story of my Symonds ancestors who built a posting house which became an Inn,
then gave its name to a village which became a town in mid-Cornwall.
My Symonds Family Tree has found roots in a Web Page so that you can explore those who appear elsewhere in the Symonds story.

If you wish to visit Clare to investigate history
- and of course the wines of the district - you could stay at what was
the site of the old Chaff Mill,
dating to the 1860s. It was
originally part of Inchiquin, the estate of Clare's founder E.B.
Gleeson and was threatened with demolition in 1987.
With a determined effort, it has become the Chaff Mill Village, with accommodation, gardens and shops.
Look at its Web pages to see what its history was and what it now is.
Visit it or stay there.
