Charlestown today, the weather is somewhat changeable but there are quite a few visitors and boats about.
The once fishermen's cottages are neatly coloured
Always interesting to see the harbour.
To get to the other side of the harbour it's necessary to cross the bridge shown below - the bit that looks like a plank of wood!
When the harbour tide is out some people enjoy the mud between their toes.
People crossing the bridge, mentioned earlier.
Homeward bound.
But first a quick look at one of the two small beaches
That's all for today

The Pier House has also had a bit of a make over.

Charlestown is a firm favourite of mine and it's lovely to see the boats and cottages there. Interesting to see the plaque on a bench, I too always stop to read them. Some can be quite moving. The "plank" bridge does look a bit daunting but your closer view of it shows it has sturdy supports below. Interesting post as always, take care Mike. David.
ReplyDeleteHello David, thank you. I'm sure I must have mentioned that Charlestown is one of my favourites too. I am a little concerned though that several food outlets have sprung up and I hope this won't spoil the atmosphere. The Pier House has also added more bedrooms for visitors. Anyhow we will continue to walk around the harbour. Good wishes.
ReplyDeleteWow, that plaque on that bench is so relevant to the book I just read and had signed by the author at the 2024 Byron Writers Festival Mike.
ReplyDeleteCan I take a screen shot of that photo to use in an upcoming post for my blog?
That's interesting Darren - you are welcome to to take a screen shot. Hope you are doing okay, good wishes.
DeleteThanks Mike, I'll credit the photo to you and this blog post if and when I use it.
DeleteCheers.
