Postcard from Cornwall no.5
I aim to get as much of our Cornwall holiday into this post.....
Thursday was a day of mizzle (a mixture of drizzle and mist) as they say in Cornwall.
It was the Fowey Regatta, so we thought we would pop along to see what was going on.
a mooch around the shops...
....a pasty for lunch
Not the best conditions for photos I am afraid.
The mist came and went, we watched the sailing boats race on the river and jostled with the crowds in the narrow streets.
We did enjoy the colourful sail boats.
After a while we drove west to Charlestown.

More ships!
We looked around the Shipwreck Museum
You can walk along the underground tunnels were clay was taken to the ships for export.
We left Cornwall the following morning.......but it was not the end of our holiday. Another postcard to follow........

I love these!!! Such brilliant photos!!!! The sails, the clay tunnel, the briny air that is conveyed in each and everyone is just captivating!!! I wish I'd managed to persuade my husband to go to Cornwall this Summer!!!x
ReplyDeleteWow! Cornwall sure has a lot to offer. Even in the mizzle, it is a lovely place. The colorful sailboats look so pretty against the gray day. :)

ReplyDeleteIt look like a great visit despite the weather and the mist made your photos very atmospheric and gave a real "Cornish" feel to them! xx

ReplyDeleteI am in my office at school, dreaming over your photos. I love rainy, foggy days, especially in England. I had not thought of going to Cornwall, but I am dreaming now. Thanks so much for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lyn, this was beautiful! The atmosphere of this 'mizzle' makes your pictures so special ... Many pictures would be great as jigsaw puzzles :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, xxx Carolien
I love everything about your 'mizzil' day. fabulous word. I can see and feel it from afar. I think it added to the atmosphere of the reggatta, along with your creative photography.
