<\/a><\/p>\nOther streets in town are also steep. One of the other places I visited in town was the free museum. It has a wide range of interesting local exhibits including a facsimile book of hours associated with a local Priory and a six volume Cornish Herbarium.<\/p>\n
I crossed a number of medieval bridges on the way out of town, and another steep hill up to St Stephen’s Church. From there I made a short detour to find a Holy Well marked on the map. It took a bit of tracking down but I found it a short distance up a footpath.<\/p>\n Prayer at the Well May the resources for life be shared fairly.<\/i><\/p>\n JAL 12.04.2019 It seems that enough people are not sure that you can readily look this question up on Google.

Even though some of the hills are down a significant number are up and quite steep. … Continue reading “Launceston is still in Cornwall”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117\/revisions\/118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
\nCharles Causley, the poet, was born in Launceston and apart from when he was serving in the Royal Navy, always lived in the town, where he was also a teacher. He’s a poet whose work I have enjoyed since I was a teenager.

\nRemembering Charles Causley:<\/b>

\nThe sun, dancing,
\nLights up all the lanes,
\nFrom Land’s End to Launceston,
\nWhere I step out and meet you;
\nAn unexpected surprise,
\nSo gently encouraging. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI stopped for a picnic by another medieval bridge at Yeolmbridge before making the final push, mostly uphill, for the final two miles. Bob picked me up and we returned to the Codfather, a fish and chip van on the north side of Launceston, for a rather late fish supper, as we often do on Fridays.<\/p>\n

\nAs the water wells up from the ground,
\nOur ancestors thought this place was Holy.
\nWater is life and life giving water a valuable gift.
\nTonight we pray for all those who wait for water, who live in need of adequate water supplies;
\nAnd for those who have the engineering skill to bring water to where it is needed.<\/i><\/p>\n
