“Gool Peran Lowen” – Saint Piran’s Day in Brisbane

Why are you celebrating a Cornish Day in Brisbane QLD?

Because Queensland, Australia is Where I am now is awesome just like Cornwall where I grew up!

Pasties

Heavy Cakes

Scones – Cream Tea’s

Sadly the Clotted Cream was a #FAIL

The little ones preferred the ice blocks

Helicopter

When I was a kid we used to see Peter De Savary on Spotlight swooping in on his helicopter to visit Land’s End. On Monday I got my first helicopter, a gift from Google Australia for being a Google Partner. We decorated for today with the Cornish Flag.

Happy St Piran’s Day to “ONE and ALL”

UPDATE (Friday 7th):

Ben managed to make some clotted cream
