Postcards from Cornwall

The morning of Tuesday 26th May 2009

Dear All,

Today dawned bright but breezy. We were up and out early as we wanted to get to St Micheal's Mount as the tide went out. The walk from the car park was strange-loads of people coming from every direction to the causeway, milling along it like ants towards the mount. We walked up to the castle and then around the harbour and finally a walk around the spectacular garden's that hang on to the cliff face. It is a special place that's for sure and we had our first cream tea at the restaurant-the clotted cream went down far too well and the snack filled us up till late afternoon!

Wish you were here!

Love from

Afternoon of Tuesday 26th May 2009

Dear All,

As you can see we had a busy day today. After St Micheal's mount we drove through a very busy Penzance and stopped off briefly in Newlyn to look at the gallery there. Then on to Mousehole. One of my most favourite places to visit. I love the story of the Mousehole cat and found several snoozing in the afternoon sunshine. It had been busy with families on the beach in the harbour and children were still swimming in the incredibly turquoise sea. We wandered around the tiny streets and I bought a string bag of shells from the harbour placing my money in the honesty box. We then had our late picnic lunch on the shingle beach looking out across the bay at the mount. The end of a perfect day.

Wish you were here! More postcards to follow.
