We then moved on to the town of St. Austell
My wife had an appointment in the town so I mooched about with my camera. Some colourful paintings in the next two photos.
A photo next of a china a clay exhibit on a wall. There are several of these in various places in the town.
The appointment over we headed for the Lost Gardens of Heligan - starting off with a friendly goat.
We always like to see the rhododendrons, though it was a little chilly to use the seats!

Time to be homeward bound
And finally a quick look at Carlyon Bay on our way home.

Moving on now to the Jungle at Heligan |

Nearly forgot, a saying seen at Heligan:
We don't stop playing because we grow old
We grow old because we stop playing.
Thanks for visiting my blog~ Mike.
Lovely photos, Mike! That goat had a very elegant coat. A beautiful photo of it. I loved the rhododendrons too!
ReplyDeleteYes, the goat was lovely and so soft. Some of the rhododendrons are very old but put on a lovely display.
DeleteAlways pleased to see Charlestown Mike and I enjoyed seeing the wall art too. The artists who produce these paintings are very talented and when I watched some in action at the Urban Arts weekend in Cleethorpes last summer I found it fascinating watching the scenes being built up.
ReplyDeleteToday we have constant rain, as I suspect you do too. Warmer weather promised for the coming week but, also rain! Take care Mike.
Charlestown is one of my favourite places. I just hope they don't spoil it as there are many food outlets now, they are expanding the size of the Pier Inn - adding B& B rooms etc. Today (sunday) quite pleasant and the sun is out. All the best.
