Cornish

What does Cornish mean to you? To me Cornwall is deep orange sunsets, salty kisses and sand between your toes. Cornwall is pasties. Cornwall steals your breath with cold water. It is waves and cerulean blue, the sound of seagulls and the salty smell of seaweed. It’s sticky vanilla ice cream fingers and sun drenched skin. Cornwall is busy days and quiet nights. Cornwall is losing your wellington boots in muddy trenches. It is vistas, horizons and that feeling of being home. 

Cosy

Partly inspired by Scandinavian Hyyge. Mostly inspired by Cornwall’s inherent cosiness. Our Cornish version is Klys, meaning cosy or snug, and isn’t Cornwall just the cosiest? It’s in the moments you feel connected with the ocean, with the life that breathes beneath the waves and with the wave you ride yourself. It’s in the warm smell of heavy cake fresh out of the oven and mugs of hot tea. It’s fireside moments. It’s the breath of warmth that hits you when you walk into a pub. It’s Cornwall’s strong sense of community, of kindness for others and gratitude that we wake up to the sound of the sea. It is wrapping up in a towel and warming your hands over a BBQ. It’s the hot breath you see in a shed full of cows and the smell of hay. It’s watching the sun dip below the horizon. It’s all of those moments when you stand back and take it all in.
