Yesterday we drove from Yeovil in Somerset to Penzance in Cornwall. Along the way we stopped for a while in Looe -- a great little seaside village it was! Here are some snapshots....
The Looe Bakery - where I had my first real Cornish pasty!
Not a great picture through the glass, but the best I could do. John got the steak and stilton pasty and I had the cheese and onion. So delicious, I could live on them! Next pic - more goodies from the same bakery.
Upper right, proper Bakewell tarts. Then the cream tea scones which we have not yet had... but we will! A quarter pound of clotted cream? My goodness, that sounds like a LOT. Enough to clog plenty of arteries, I'm afraid. Will that stop me from trying it? ...... uh..... not a chance!
In Looe. Obviously it was low tide.
The beach at Looe. We have been so blessed with lovely weather!!
We watched two young men launch this small sailboat called a "Mirror". John built one of these Mirrors from a kit and raced it - back in his younger days :-)
Our B&B here in Penzance where we'll spend two nights. Very nice place - the Dunedin Hotel.
Today we'll explore the south Cornwall area.... St Michaels Mount, Lands End, St Ives, and tonight, the open air theatre along the coast (the Minack theatre) where we'll see a production of Othello. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it won't be raining!
Hi You two! It's Shannon just awakened - as you know can't read BLOGS at work. Yes it's a night shift night. Anyway glad you got all the way to PENZANCE - great luck with your weather and I'd have to say the pasty price is rather huge. Anyway - keep on keeping on. I'm
