Porthcadjack

Samphire Island (or possibly Asparagus Island), Porthcadjack, Cornwall.
I have never known which of the two islands is which. I asked a wizened old sea dog in a Portreath Pub once and he said in an almost impenetrable Cornish accent; 'Who the f... cares'
I still don't know!
In the very far distance, Godrevy Island and lighthouse.

Indeed, the practicality of the Cornish
