I had a wonderful time in Cornwall, catching up with friends. The weather deteriorated over the week, but we got out to see a few things, and spent the rest of the time chatting indoors. It was nice to have some quiet time.

| Afternoon cream tea |
 |
| An amazing wood sculpture outside a local surf shop |
 |
| We had a lovely day out at St Michael's Mount. It is a tiny island close to the mainland. At low tide you can walk across to the island via the cobbled causeway. We arrived JUST in time to walk across before the tide rushed in. |
 |
| you can just see the white outline of the causeway under water to the right of the jetty |
 |
| The tiny red and white boat ferried people back to the mainland at high tide. The boat was very low in the water and it was very choppy. I was glad it was a short trip. |
 |
| Steep cobbled pathways lead down from the castle |
 |
| The castle on the top of the mount |
 |
| View from the lookout |
 |
| Beautiful stonework |
 |
| View from the castle down to the gardens, and across to the mainland (and very top of photo) |

In the castle gardens they had this beautiful living succulent frame. I loved it.
 |
| I wasn't so enamoured with some of the Cornish country lanes that the satnav took me down. Although I had an easy drive down from Kent to Cornwall, I was very pleased to leave the hire car there and enjoy the train ride back to Sussex. |
