So apparently if you get to Devon and you keep going then you get to this place called Cornwall. Who knew? (Apart from The Shadow, obviously).
Anyway, several hours later I got to Falmouth, and headed for the nearest bookshop-pub, called Beerwolf Books.
Up the stairs I went to see the books and drink the beer, when what should I be confronted with but this:
LOTR, Creech, and Cactus Canyon. Very nice.
Anyway, I'm having a game on the
CC when the owner of the bar/bookshop comes over for a chat.
So I ask him if he would consider selling it to me.
"No", he says. "Not this one. But I do have another one you can have."
Next thing I know we are hurtling through the Cornwall back roads in his transit van to a lockup in the middle of nowhere, where there was indeed another
CC along with about 7 other machines.
The other
Cc was in great condition so we agreed a sale, and then spent about an hour playing WH20, Black Rose etc and talking pinball ********.
So not much sightseeing or pasty eating has been done, but I have met a very nice fellow pinhead and will be coming home with a new pin.
Cornwall eh? What's not to like?
