Mevagissey

Another good weather day following a night of on and off showers.

Mevagissey is great place to visit, even with all it’s tourist shops it is still a working fishing village, with character. It also has free attractions, something rare in Cornwall, a really good museum and an aquarium.

One thing to remember though is that the streets are one car wide so park in the first car park (on the left) you come to, it is only a couple of hundred metres to walk to the village and it is better than trying to drive on Mevagissey streets.

Back at the campsite we had tea and cinnamon doughnuts whilst sitting outside watching the sunset.

Another Cornish Sunset

Another Cornish sunset from the Camping and Caravan Club site at Veryan – and another picture of my tent.

It is now a very nice evening, it is dark, and there is no wind and it is not cold either. We are sitting outside having made some hot drinks, Jeremy is reading and I am blogging with a candle for extra light.

Diana is out this evening at Business Club promoting Octagon’s Disaster Recovery Seminar whilst we watch the sunset.

Plenty of autumn colours and a brooding sky.

Seven swans a-swimming – and before the comments are made, I know it is a duck, look over the wall!

We decide to get lunch in a cafe as the weather was showery, I had a “half” Full English and Jeremy had a pasty – I think they must have much bigger plates for the “full” breakfast. Next time I’ll order the soup with half a sandwich.

This building has not always been a pub.

We went for a coffee and cakes – this is what Jeremy had, a hot chocolate.

We then went for a walk along the coast at Gerrans Bay, to find somewhere to have lunch.
