- Born
- 8 October 1975, Penzance
Born in October 1975, the year Poldark first went out on BBC1, and named accordingly, which she has had fifty years of jokes about and now quite likes. She works at Geevor, which is now a museum and a World Heritage site, and her job is the mine archive, and inside that archive are her grandfather Kenneth's final underground survey plans, in his handwriting, which she catalogued herself in 2011 and had to stop halfway through. She is the Cornish end of this website. Her cousin in California is the other end.
