Sally and Adrian outside Coastguard Cottages

Mevagissey (Meva) is a place with which our family has long had links. During World War 2, my Auntie Marjorie (Anderson) was evacuated to St. Austell along with hundreds of other war time children placed all over Cornwall. This was the government's idea to escape the consequences of the blitz across Britain. My grandparents would travel down from Bristol to visit their daughter and would always stay in Meva. Subsequently the whole family would come to Meva and stay on Penwarne Farm, which is towards Portmellon. I have fond memories as a child and teenager of these holidays, hence the reason for buying the cottage in the first place.
