Didn't realise it at the time but I look at the house we lived in compared to our friends. Always clean but never beautifully decorated. No money for lots of gadgets or latest clothes so was encouraged to go outside and play. Relentlessly bullied at school for it but although I have a stable job and good income I still live off very little, buy very little and save for the stuff I need. Lifes lessons well lear6and grateful for fabulous parents. So sad to see those who have had a less than ideal childhood you deserved better and hopefully you will be making your childrens experience a whole lot better. Love to you all.

A PP wrote Cornish too, I think it means outdoors, simple, arty, hippos, slow pace of life and the sea. At least it does to me
