myCornwall takes the All-new Ford Fiesta out for a run in the country...

Cool, Calm And Collected

Can any of you remember 1976? I have blurry recollections of a very hot summer and a hosepipe ban and that’s about it. Harold Wilson then James Callaghan were Prime Ministers. Concorde took its first commercial flight and Anita Roddick opened her first Body Shop. 

It was also the year that the Ford Fiesta was launched. 41 years later and Concorde may have gone but we’re having a very hot summer, the Body Shop is still in the centre of Truro and you’ll still see many a Ford Fiesta on the roads of Cornwall. 

In fact it’s the best selling car in the UK and you can see why. It’s familiar. It’s affordable and as sales indicate, year on year, it’s very popular. 

The first thing to grab my attention with the car I drove, was the colour. Called Bohai Bay Mint (where do they get these names?), the colour is immediately arresting, and not to my taste. As an owner of some 20 odd cars, I have had many silver and black coloured cars, and the occasional white one, back in my youth. Safe colours, you may assume.

The Buzz About Bude

Whilst October and November might be the start of quieter months for much of Cornwall, it seems that in Bude there is no sign of winding down from the summer hustle and bustle just yet. With art shows in October, plenty of independent shops and pubs open for business, two music festivals taking place in November alone and many more events to fill your diary with, Bude is definitely a place to be enjoyed all year round.

Cornwall - A Hub For Ethical Fashion

Catching on fast to the changes we need to make for our planet, is Cornwall. In the past several years we’ve been banning plastic from our homes and eateries, cleaning our beaches, and there are more refill, waste-free food stations popping up than ever. It’s a trend that’s easy to get behind, but one thing many of us tend to overlook is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to environmental waste of them all: clothing.

Call Of The Forest

It has to be said that Cornwall is probably not best known for its woodlands. In fact, there are many areas, such as Bodmin Moor, that seem almost completely devoid of trees. This scarcity of trees only serves to make the pockets of woodland that we do have even more precious.
