In fairness, though, Cornwall has always wanted to be independent of England - unlike Wales.

And post some pictures of the bluebell woods...that sounds beautiful! <br /><br />Somehow I don't picture you skipping merrily along a flower-studded path, enjoying nature and a spring morning.<br /><br />When I think of you I envision a scowling man sitting in a smoke filled pub instead.
