| Page Views: 942 Last Visit to Altarnun: February, 2004 | Home of 'Sir' Geoff Wright by Bwana_Brown - last update: Nov 25, 2004 |
When I first joined VT and checked up on what it had to say about my home town of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada - the world's #1 expert was 'Sir' Geoff Wright! Subsequent to that, I had posed a question on VT regarding some strange shrubbery that I had seen in Cornwall during my June, 2000 visit. It was Geoff to the rescue, providing me with the correct name of the amazing plant that I had seen! As this was my first trip back to England since that visit, I decided that it was high time that I met Geoff - it would also the first time that I had met another of this strange breed of VT members. By telephone between Truro and Altarnun, we finalized the details of my impending fleeting visit. As soon as I pulled into Altarnun, I was struck by its beauty - so much so that I pulled my rental over and walked back to take this photo of the Church of St. Nonna. While I was walking back to my car (in the photo), Geoff drove past in his distinctive Range Rover. I knew then that I had him in my sights! |
