On the dunes with St Piran

It will not come as a surprise to anyone that I today spent the afternoon on Gear Sands near Perranporth, supporting the annual “St Piran’s Day” commemoration with hundreds of others progressing out to St Piran’s Oratory and the medieval church.

Well done to all those who organised the event and everyone who supported it in today’s “glorious” weather.

It was lovely to see my good friend Pol Hodge playing the role of St Piran – could there ever be a more saintly man to inhabit the role of our national saint?
