Read this romantic comedy by Polperro’s resident author while sipping the only tea grown in England, which is produced on a local estate.  Image

Weekend Visitors…

Roseanne, Ted and Mabel drove down to Polperro in their new Landrover (about 5 hours) and we went fishing, crabbing in the rockpools (as they do here with buckets and nets) and caving with a dinner at The Blue Peter Inn.

Road trip..Day 2..

It’s freezing again…1 degree and a roaring gale! Lovely drive from mosehole via Lamorna and Porthcurno to Land’s End. literally felt like I was being blown into the Atlantic Ocean.

Drove through very windswept, rugged granite strewn countryside where there are lots of remnants of Tin mining finally reaching St Ives. Walking the narrow streets down to the sandy beach and harbour it actually started to snow!Image

Road trip to Lands End…

The weather has decided to give me another blast of an English winter, so in freezing temperatures with an icy wind and evidence of snow showers in the fields, I set off from Polperro to venture to the very southern tip of the United Kingdom. I drove through pretty countryside to Fowey, across the river ferry to St Austell then on to Truro with a side trip to St Mawes across the river Fal from Falmouth.Image

I then continued to Porthleven another little harbour village and tried the local ale from St Austell brewery with a warming, hearty lamb casserole for lunch at the pub.ImageImageContinuing along the coast I came to St Michael’s Mount..access denied due to the tide!Image

Lemon Sole for dinner…

Found a great little shop in Looe that sells fresh local fish and vegetables. Found out what the great British Cod looks like!ImageImage

Getting around…

I’am very happy with my little Toyota Aurion hire car…it takes me very nicely through the narrow country lane ways and across ferries! I’ve only backed into a bank of blackberry bushes and mud once!! ImageImage

Whats for dinner?

Cornwall beef, sweet potato mash, beans and clotted cream garlic sauce!Image
