Discovering South West England
Ian Newman • December 2, 2018
There is so much to enjoy in the South West, with an incredible diversity of scenery, tradition and folklore. Just to give you a taste off what to expect, here is a thatched cottage in one of my favourite villages, Selworthy Green. My daughter used to mow the village green! Note the rounded oven at the base of the chimney.

DNA is a wonderful thing. Now we all have access to DNA profiling, strange and unexpected anomalies have come to light. Those of us living in the western fringes of the United Kingdom; Cornwall, West Devon, Wales feel a kinship and regarded ourselves as Celts. So it's interesting that there is a very strong link between those areas 'DNA - wise' but not with the Celts who migrated across central Europe and up through Iberia during the Iron Age. So perhaps, genetically, we aren't Celts but, in fact, descended from the Ancient Britons who took on the Celtic lifestyle because they liked the look of it.
