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.
If you have ever watched the latest series of Poldark you might recognise it.


More ships!

You can hire the old Harbour masters office....




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........

  2. Wow! 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. :)

  5. I 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.
