The Memory Cafe
took place one week later than usual this month to avoid Easter celebrations,
and we were all keeping our fingers crossed for fine weather! Luckily, this
paid off, as a Crantock Village Trail had been organised to get our members out
and about exploring the centre of the village. To make things a little easier
we met in the Memorial Hall and once again we were delighted to welcome some
new members in addition to familiar friends.
After a cup of
tea and a chat, a good number set off in the sunshine armed with a list of some
of the many interesting objects, signs and buildings to be found around the
village.
The trail took us
around the green and up to the church, and gave everyone a chance to look more
closely at places we so easily pass by.

Meanwhile, those
who hadn't felt able to join us on our walk had the chance to complete their
Village Wordsearch and undertake a ‘virtual trail’ with photos of the parts of
Crantock the rest of the group had set out to explore.
Arriving back at
the Memorial Hall for another ‘cuppa’ with delicious cakes and biscuits, we had
a chance to compare findings and to look at an interesting selection of old
photographs about the towns and villages of Cornwall. We were especially
pleased to learn that one of our members had co-written books on St. Newlyn East
which we had on display. The beautifully
painted mural of Crantock around the walls of the hall gave us a chance to see
where we had been- luckily everyone had been on their best behaviour, so we
hadn’t been obliged to put anyone in the village stocks behind the church!

As always, the
friendly, relaxed atmosphere quickly put everyone at ease and next month we
will be back in our usual venue of the Village Hall. However, the cafe will once again take place
one week later than normal to avoid the May Day holiday so we will be meeting
on Monday 11th May from 2pm
to 4pm.
