1995 Notes & Anecdotes
Apple Derivative Day (Uncut)
Saturday - We visit the Seven Stones. The building is empty but the door open. Inside the landlord (Mr. Goddard) suddenly appears. Cricket team?” he enquires. “Yes, and thirsty ones.” Peter replies, requesting a pint. “Sorry. I don’t have any. I’ve been waiting all week for a supply to come in.” The landlord points to the tea towels draped over the hand-pumps on the bar. Peter twitches, he had not prepared himself for a bar without beer. “I’ve got cider!” States the Landlord, waving a dusty bottle in his hand...and some scrumpy.” He points to a barrel at the back of the bar.Oh Dear! At this moment the concept of an apple derivative day (ADD) is born, and it is without question the most mind blowing of the all the Scillies experiences to date. A simple rule is laid down - only drinks that contain a derivative of apple may be consumed. Fine. But things begin to get out of hand when on the hoof the Hoot Toots decide to mix drinks with apple derivatives. This alchemy has a devastating effect on almost everones wellbeing and by 4 o'clock - the game by chance being delayed for an hour due to some of the locals returning late from their fishing trips – the addictive, sometimes sweet, sometimes lumpy but always alcoholic beverages have pickled everyone’s brain, even the teetotallers. “My numb is head.” Remarks H, an expression that quickly gains Hoot Toots folklore status and has been often repeated up to the present day. Thankfully the cricket ground is a pleasant twenty-five-minute walk from the Inn. “Provided you can walk straight, you’ll find the ground.” Remarks the Landlord. The problem is that we cannot walk straight and suffer bouts of loss of direction. Spoons leads a merry jig up the road then falls over. Peter bursts into song. Jim extinguishes his pipe fearing a spark may ignite the alcohol fumes and H holds his head in his hands. By 4.00pm when we arrive at Pool Green the Hoot Toots tour management claim a moral victory having against all odds in the spirit of Shackleton marshalled the entire cider sodden team across the island without casualty. |

St. Agnes - With cricket scheduled to start at 4.00pm there is time for a coastal ramble onto a footpath where we cross fields where campers’ shelter behind stone hedges, eventually passing through a small gate onto rugged coastal downs. We stop beside a stone maze at Troy Town which is said to have been laid out by the son of the lighthouse keeper in 1729 but may be much older. However, any buried evidence of its origins may have been destroyed during an unofficial rebuild in 1988. allegedly build by man before he stood upright. A short hop from this maze we encounter St. Warna’s Well — a mystical hole of water. A few of us drop coins and make a wish. Due to a long dry summer most of the water has evaporated and the coins sink into black treacle, laced with rabbit droppings. St. Warna also smells a wee rancid. We continue to follow the footpath until stopping beside a cluster of rocks where there is nothing ahead of us except water. |
