Cornish farm building

Probably only used for storage now. There is a modern farmhouse (60s I would think) next door where the farmer and family live. This is the closest farm to the ancient sites of Chun Quoit and Chun Castle, and where you park your car before trudging uphill. There used to be an 'honesty box', in the car park for suggested token car park fees but that was stolen years ago!

Godrevy again, but it is an addictive place! This must be one of my favourite shots of it. The sea surging over the left-hand rock does it for me!

Godrevy from above Navrax Point, Cornwall. St Ives in the distance. Just guessing but the yellow flowers could be a variety of aster, The white/pink-ish flowers are sea-carrot. For Pam.

St Agnes Head - one more for Pam from the archives…

Granite cliffs and not many access points to the shore-line from the clifftop. In fact only one and I'm on it (and even this isn't obvious unless you are 'in the know!').

This path was still there in 2014, and 15. When I revisited in 2017, however, it had gone. such is the inexorable tide of erosion here.

Foxgloves seem to love granite. They follow me wherever I go!

There is another Trereen Dinas at Gurnard's Head on the north coast. They are both iron age clifftop fortifications. This one near Porthcurno is known as The Logan Rock due to a rocking stone on the summit which was dislodged by a young naval officer early in the 19th century. He had to put it back at his own expense; he did so, but it no longer rocked! Spot the ponies!

HFF, everyone!

My mother's garden. Pasiflora and the Primitive Methodist chapel next door (long since disused). The passion flower and fence screen the outside loo (sorry, you euphemism lovers on the other side of the pond, 'rest room'). It's OK, they also have two inside loos but 50 years ago this certainly was the only loo!
