It's funny what facts stick in certain brains, and which won't. My wife knows there's no point talking to me about dates, for example: even if it's only a couple of weeks away, I need "the Wednesday after next" rather than a number... numbers are pretty abstract when you get down to it, after "One, two, a few, many..."

I've given it consideration a couple of times in recent years, but am still curiously resistant to reading this one!

Apropos of nothing, Carl Jung had a brief tryst here in Polzeath! It's a bit of history I'm amazed doesn't get mentioned more in our local blurb!

You're making this up aren't you Gareth.

It's a convoluted story but his wife and mistress accompanied him to Polzeath where they all stayed at the Atlantic Hotel! There was something of a scandal at the time!

Who'd a thunk it😋
