Dear Site Visitor:

I love the winter – not that we have much winter here in San Diego, but I take what I can get. In fact, not only do I “take what I can get,” I seek winter out wherever I can find it.

This year that “seeking” has prompted us to take a trip to Cornwall, England. For the geographically-challenged, that’s the southwest corner of Britain – the region famous for ship wrecks, storms, smuggling, and – although apparently they deny it – the pilfering of goods from the many ships that run aground on the nearly 300 miles of Cornish shoreline.

The setting for this chilly retreat is a 17th century fisherman’s cottage. The cottage comes complete with a view straight out on the stormy English Channel and a cave underneath that once was used by a Cornish smuggler named Willy Wilcox to hide his ill-got contraband. In fact, rumor has it that poor Willy got caught in that cave one stormy night and met his end. Whether by drowning or some other means is unclear, but it sure does make for a colorful story – and maybe a ghost or two.

Some of you might be thinking we are a bit nuts to go to a cottage on the English Channel at the height of storm season, but actually that’s the point. I suppose this has something to do with “wanting what you don’t have,” but I must admit, living in southern California with it’s perpetually tepid weather – that is if you can call what we experience “weather” at all – leaves me craving a bit of intensity from nature.

Hence: Cornwall in February.
