After just under six years in the Coastguard service, all spent at Hartland, Mr L Homewood has been promoted to Station Officer at the Lizard.

He and his wife came to the West country from Hull and he says “We have had a smashing time here”. He will be at the Lizard for five years but his ambition is ultimately to return to Hartland because “I like the country and I like the people”.
The community will also be glad to welcome back Mr and Mrs Homewood. Mrs Homewood has been active in a number of associations notably the Women’s Institute, from the presidency of which she has recently resigned after two years and of which she is now secretary, and in Civil Defence.
They a son of 16, an adopted son of 18, and adopted daughter of three and there is a foster child – a boy of 17 – whom they intend to adopt.
They will not lack friends in their new surroundings. Their neighbour, Mr Jack Turner, who has been a coastguard at Hartland for seven years, has also been promoted to take charge of the station at Mevagissey. In the area there are already three men with whom Mr Homewood and Mr Turner served at Hartland.
Mr Turner came to the West country from Wick on the north east coast of Scotland and married an Appledore girl.
