There han't been a market here since the 1860s but it is still the hub of the village.

HANWE everyone! Built in inferior stone and on the cheap in the 1820s, this church soon started listing (possibly due to being built on ancient, uncharted tin mine shafts - St Day isn't known locally as 'Sinking City' for nothing!) and by the 1950s was unusable after the roof fell in. No money was available to shore it up and re-roof it so a more modest church was built nearby. Nonetheless it's still a local landmark and the spire is visible for miles around.

High tide. Cornish coast. Southwest Peninsula Coastpath. The footpaths in the grass opposite indicate that there are interesting ways down!

Near Basset Cove. Southwest Peninsula Coastpath, North Cliffs, Cornwall. Perhaps better enlarged.

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall. (perhaps a smidjin better on large)

St Agnes Head, evening light, Cornish coast.

From above St Agnes Head. I just felt the combination worked well. (...and works quite well too on large). Above all, I just liked the colour and slight choppiness of the sea here!

Went for a brief lungful of sea air in the hour I had available before returning to cook supper and It was fortunate that I co-incided with this colourscape! North Cliffs, Cornwall.

Aubutillon Canterbury bells. At least that is what I learnt from someone somewhere! I may be wrong and would be pleased to be corrected. Abutilon megapotamicum: Thank you for the identification, Adrian Jones.

Basset Cove, Crane Islands and North Cliffs, Cornwall. (Godrevy Island and lighthouse can just be seen).

I rather like these lilies but haven't had the time to research them and give a variety name (and my mum can't remember). Do we have a lily expert who could help here? Guernsey lilies! Thank you to those who came up with the correct answer!

Taken from the same spot as the previous post, different view and separated by time of day and ten years! Miracle of miracles! 1) I found an hour of 'me' time and drove to the coast here. First time in 2 and a half weeks of being in Cornwall that I actually set eyes on the sea! 2) My phone camera actually allowed this one shot to be uploaded onto my laptop !

Man and his Man, Cow and calf and Bawden's Rocks are just three names given to these two islets.

Another corner of my mum's garden.

St Michael's Mount from Marazion, Cornwall. I can't now remember what I was thinking of when editing this. I thought about a re-edit but in the end decided to leave it as it is; partly I think because I like the clouds as they are.

Little Busveal Farm, with thatched roof (common at one time - much rarer now). I went for a walk past this farm today but couldn't take a shot for technical reasons (my phone-camera is playing up.) But I thought I'd taken a shot some years back and found it. Best enlarged for a closer view of this thatch style.
