As a few of you know I do like it a bit cold. I have found a possible
reason.
On my mother's maternal side my great great grandfather I have discovered
came from Halifax in Nova Scotia, arriving in the UK as a boy. It's in the
blood!!!

On my mothers side(Osborne) my ancestry stays in Cornwall for 100s of years, generally farming around Zennor, as they still do. John Osnorne was 2 in 1813

The Easterlings seem to have invaded from the east (not Devon thank God, more Scandinavia), most seem to be in the USA these days. It's all part of Cornish history, ever since the Romans everyone's had a go at controlling the Celts. Finally the takeover is succeeding, just take a look at Padstein & the Helford river!
