The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming https://t.co/ef6rUQZPwS

I was pleased to represent @MebyonKernow on BBC Politics SW today and to be able to make the argument that Cornwall needs proper devolution – not tweaks to local government as in the so-called "devolution deal" out for consultation at the moment. See:

Duchy of Cornwall

The number of family homes being turned into second homes & holiday lets is killing communities in Cornwall, Northumberland, Shropshire, Devon, Somerset, North Yorkshire, in the Highlands of Scotland, in rural Wales and here in Cumbria.

We desperately need ministers to act now.

The fuchsia first arrived in England in 1788, having been discovered in the Caribbean c.1696. It is known as the Virgin Mary’s earrings & when worn by a bride on her wedding day can bring great blessings. It is also a favourite hiding place of fairies. #FolkloreThursday Img: CMB

In folklore bigger dolmens such as this giant at Bagneux in Saumur (Maine-et-Loire) were often held to be druid temples as in the caption on this card. It does not say however whether the impressively bearded man in front belonged to that fraternity. #FolkloreThursday

#FolkloreThursday food themed post!

Cornish pasties feature prominently in the folklore of the mine spirits ‘Knockers’. Named for knocking to alert miners of danger or to lead to the best ore veins. This comes with a price…and that price is…mutual respect and PASTY crusts!

Granny Boswell (c.1817-1909) was thought to be a witch/pellar in Helston, #Cornwall. Born in Ireland, of Romany heritage & moved to Cornwall in the 1860s. Contemporary sources say she was a nuisance to authorities but she has also been described as a white witch
