One of my New Year resolutions is to get back here this year and resume my walking / scrambling / photography among these rocks!

I quite like the mix of functionality and the striving for just a little bit of something more in terms of art here. I find this in many parts of this former tin mining town and hope to show more as and when. Maybe worth a look at some of the detail on large. en-gb.facebook.com/RedruthTownMarkets

The corner of Fore Street and Telegraph Street. I rather like these weatherboarded cottages. There was a town cross here until the late 18th century but it had to go as the waggons loaded with tin couldn't get by. Sight and Sound, purely because Hendrix was on fire for this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMglEXFCClg

The nerve centre of the largest world empire up to that time - Phillip II's imposing palace / monastery. Worth a look on large and further for the palace detail.

On a spectacularly dull day (apologies for the litotes there), the first camellias added much needed cheer!

I've followed this cliffside plant for perhaps 30 years and it seems to thrive in these inhospitable conditions. Perhaps worth viewing it on large. I greet it like an old friend! From the steep footpath down to Fishing Cove. www.youtube.com/watch?v=av2vgiYAlXY - again, just 'cos I like it!

My preferred low tide rock-hopping walk passes by here. In the distance is Porthcadjack Cove with Asparagus and Samphire Islands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4VEXl4vsq4 sight and sound. Two absolute legends - gelling very nicely here!

Shot of my mum's garden in midwinter from inside the outside loo. Sight and sound. Enjoyable clip of Lou Reed and David Bowie getting it on! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4VEXl4vsq4

I have a very strong need to get back walking here again. It's been four years now, what with one thing after another, but I aim to get up there this Spring for the Spring wildflower show (so last 2 weeks in May in reality).
