More around and about.....
The fishing village of Mevagissy, fishygissy to it's friends, is only a few miles away and is visited by hundreds of trippers during the Summer. It's typical of many of the small villages around the County's coast.
Early evening looking across the inner harbour to Frenchman's Cottage.
Not far away is Ferry Cottage, Bodinnick, once home to Daphne du Maurier, famous for her many books set in Cornwall.
The Pandora Inn. A welcome by land or by boat. Good food and a nice drop of the wet stuff.
These strange little houses are the Alms Houses at Par.
Seining from Carne Beach
These are two of the four round houses at Veryan. It is said that they were built for the local vicar's four daughters. They were round so the Devil could not hide in the corners of the room.
The harbour at Boscastle, before the flash flood of 2004, which nearly destroyed the village.
Restormel Castle. Nothing that a new roof and some double glazing couldn't put right.
Cornwall is famous for it's Rhododendrons. Taken after wind and heavy rain that caused the flowers to form a carpet of colour under the trees.
Hope you enjoy.
tell me is it in Cornwall that they gather abalone from the shore and mustn't put their faces under water or wear any special gear (to make sure it doesn't go too commercial)?
i saw something on a cooking programme the other day....it seemed maybe from around your part ?
*S* thank you for the pics....lovely!!
It's not quite Hong Kong, but it's home.
Best Wishes.
I've always taken pics S.D. Just wish I'd taken more of people and less of scenes. People need to be remembered more than places.
