Pencarrow ~ 17 July 2002


Unfortunately the managing job at Wilmington job didn't come through for us. The owners wanted a long term manager to run his pub and we are only planning to stay in the country for six months. We will probably stick it out in Padstow, it's long hours but it's central to many places we want to visit.

Today we went into Wadebridge to catch up with emails from home. Wadebridge is a nice little town, laid back with interesting shops and friendly people.

Afterwards we visited Pencarrow House and gardens. This is a Georgian house belonging to the Molesworth - St Aubyn family. It is a grand museum dedicated to the family's history. The family has strong connections to Wellington in New Zealand, ie - Pencarrow Head and Molesworth Street in New Zealand. We recognised instantly an old map of Wellington Harbor displayed on the wall, all very fascinating.
