Features Sneak Peek: June 20 Issue
Tomorrow we have a weekly and a special issue coming your way! Here’s what you can look forward to in the weekly…
We may not be able to go on holiday just now, but Pat Coulter is reminding us it is still summer with a sunny cover feature on Cornwall.
Pat and her canine companion, Poppy, explored the quaint Cornish villages of Charlestown and Polperro on the Polperro Heritage Coast. Polperro has been voted the “third most charming small place in the UK”, and certainly lives up to its reputation.
Admiring the scenery, Pat recounts the various films which have been shot in the area, as well as the literature inspired by it.
Pat’s tour of the Cornish coast will both take you back in time, and let you know what you can look out for today. Don’s miss it!
