   Went on a short trip to Zennor today. When we weren’t in the 700yr old pub next to the open fire, we were in the even older church (sat atop what was once a Bronze Age village). Here resides a 600yr old chair depicting a mermaid. The legend goes she was enticed from the sea by the singing voice of a man in the church choir. They both fell in love and disappeared together into the sea, never to return.
