Last weekend we made a quick dash to Cornwall to Catch up with friends who we hadn't seen since June 2019. Many arrangements had been made to visit last year but due to the obvious disruption we were never in or allowed to be in the right place at the right time.
We arrived around tea time on Friday so the evening was spent Catching up with the gossip however, with good weather forecast for Saturday, we started to make plans for a day out. Eventually we decided on catching the Train to St Ives, a short but scenic journey.
St Ives is a traditional Cornish fishing village full of narrow alleys as the houses hide behind each over seeking cover from winter storms.
You can see from this aerial view how close the buildings are.
The town is a very popular tourist destination with museum, Tate art gallery and many small shops. We sampled the ice creams (excellent ) as well as the odd sausage roll, had a look round the museum and the harbour.
All too soon it was time to catch the train back but we stopped for a coffee first. Stunning view from the coffee shop window, just a shame that someone had already beaten us to the best seats.
I promise that the next post will be back to knitting and spinning xx
