May 2012 – Roseland’s Forgotten Hero

 

In 1891 the game keeper at Place House at St. Anthony in Roseland was 32 year old Thomas Curtis.

Thomas had just moved into Cellars Cottage with his wife Catherine and their three children, Hilda, Ellard and Wilfred. One more child was to follow being born shortly after they moved in on 7th March, his name was Horace Augustus Curtis. With four young children to care for, Catherine enlisted the help of her sister, Louisa Ball, to help out. And so the tiny remote cottage on the edge of the beach at Place must have been bursting at the seams.  Read On ………….. http://www.roseland-online.co.uk/roseland-news/features-pollardscornwall.html

Yesterday I was invited to be on the BBC Radio Cornwall’s David White Show of whom we have a long standing friendship with because of my music and historical writings. I was unable to do the show so I put David onto our good friend Mark Hatwood who well, all I can say did us and our community proud :) ! He is such a star …. pictured here during one of our Charity gig’s with Mick from the New Seekers

Now all I can do here is ask you to sit down for a couple of moments and listen to the interview – which includes a little about our very own CORNISH COWBOY :) as well as many other topics of interest !

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – February 24
www.whitebison.org

“But each of us must find out for himself or herself what their gift is, so that they can use it in their life.” — Jimmy Jackson, OJIBWAY

The old people say, everyone has a song to sing. This song is the reason we are on this earth. When we are doing what we came on this earth to do, we know true happiness. How will we know our song? Pray. Ask the Great Mystery, “What is it you want me to do during my stay on earth?” Ask. He will tell you. He will even help you develop yourself to accomplish His mission.

Great Spirit, help me find my song and let me sing it.
