Welcome... to the second issue of the iLoveLooe iMag. I don’t suppose I can keep using that as an intro but for now it still sounds okay L
First of all, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who let me know how much they enjoyed issue one. Do let me know what you think of issue two - it’s bigger, more in depth & hopefully better! As it’s January I’ve been looking at New Year Resolutions and how to start and accomplish them throughout 2013. Read the article on pages 4/5 to see what I’m going to be doing this year and don’t forget to follow my progress and hold me to account! I’ll need all the support I can get. Wishing you a very happy New Year from iLoveLooe - Chris. P.S. It’s always great to hear from you so please stay in touch via my Facebook page, follow me on Twitter or leave a comment on the iLoveLooe.co.uk website.

Golitha Falls are a series of spectacular cascades in a beauty spot on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor. A short 30 minute drive will get you there from Looe, so they’re well worth a visit at any time of year. Golitha is a National Nature Reserve and set in a lovely wooded valley either side of the River Fowey. Wild flowers abound from April to july and 30 species of breeding birds have been recorded at the site including buzzard, dipper, nuthatch and treecreeper. The reserve is 5 km north west of Liskeard and 2 km west of the village of St Cleer. By car, access to the reserve is via minor roads from the A38, A30 and B3254. A car park, public toilets and information panels are provided. The Google link below opens up a map which can be used to plan your route. More information www.naturalengland.org.uk © ilovelooe.co.uk
