Hi – Lisa and I were told about your blog yesterday, and love it!
Thanks so much for the lovely comments about The Cabin and our food.
We’ll be leaving The Cabin on June 20th, whereupon it’s going to be run by the original owner.
We have been incredibly fortunate, however.
Having learned that we had to leave The Cabin- we were offered the opportunity to stay in the village and have a cafe built for us-we even designed it with the architect! how lucky is that…?
SO – we shall move to the Lynfield yard complex (up the road) and start trading from a trestle table under a huge umbrella for the duration of the build of Peppercorn Kitchen Cafe. There will be tables and benches for our lovely customers to use and, of course, all our food and drinks can be taken away in our biodegradable containers.
The menu will be slightly modified whilst we are in the yard, but we are planning great things for our new venture…watch this space!
Thanks again for your support – we look forward to meeting you sometime?
with very best wishes
Jenni and Lisa

Hi, I like the look and feel of your blog – some of the content of my new blog covers similar geographical turf! I’m Grazing Kate – perhaps you could link to my new site and I will gladly return the favour? Will keep in touch – my site is:

Sorry, flagrant self-promotion – but trying to establish some good local blog links

Hi there,
Just wanted to say I stumbled across your blog and it is a breath of fresh air! Thank you and please keep up the good work. I am relatively new to Cornwall and it’s opened my eyes to an array of good food, music, art and expeditions to be had!
Best,
Claire

Hi Ismay,
Great name and nice blog! Cornwall is all the more attractive considering the winter just doesn’t seem to know it should be over in Berlin. However, the city is fascinating and your room awaits you whenever you like…
Love,
Anne
