Liz Newton, from Ruan Minor, shares her Cornish heritage and some fond memories, including playful family debates about the “right” way to enjoy cream tea—Cornish style with jam first, then cream. She also reflects on the hardships of Cornwall’s mining history, contrasting her experiences with those of her daughter in Yorkshire, where public services are more affordable. Liz expresses frustration with the challenges facing Cornwall, particularly the lack of access to services for people without financial means. Despite these challenges, she remains deeply proud of her roots and advocates for fair treatment of local communities.
