St Piran was Irish. Being half Irish and half Cornish myself, I enjoy this fact.

I also enjoy the irony that today thousands of Cornish men and women will celebrate his day by getting drunk and singing, because he was exiled and thrown into the sea by the Irish for preaching against alcohol.

Today we are sharing this beautifully coloured, illustrated postcard from the 1920s β€” part of the Perranzabuloe parish church collection β€” depicting the legendary arrival of St Piran in Cornwall.

"Moral crusade"? "Bigoted performative outrage and tropes"? I see none of this, save what you bring yourself. Beware of making enemies of friends.

I think you've been on X too recently. Calm down. Catriona is not a bigot, just a human being like you. We don't need aggressive political rhetoric here. It helps no-one and nothing.

I like to have "magic", which is plausibly explained as trickery, special effects, hypnonis, dreaming, illusion or hallucination... but with never enough information to be sure... anything is (subjectively) possible without violating realism.

After all, Gandalf is famous for fireworks...
