NEWQUAY, LUNCH & OTHER PHOTOS

 A few random photos from our week. We decided to head for Newquay and lunch at the Forte Inn, one of our favourites as there are such lovely views.  The first three photos below were taken from the Inn.






After our lunch we decided to walk along by the sea at Newquay. Another pleasant view from the bowls green, as below.


Beach views below from our stroll.


And now moving on to our garden and our hollyhock. He's a monster and nearly reached our upstairs windows. Most of the flowers have now gone.


A few dahlia from the garden.


Next, we had to visit Penzance but it rained so much  I only snapped two quick photos. The first of the harbour and the second of St. Michael's Mount from a distance


  and St. Michael's Mount from  a 
distance.




There are many stories about the Mount

It is said, for example,  that the the Archangel Michael appeared before local fisherman  on the mount in the fifth century. 
 
Prior to the 6th century the island was once the home of an eighteen feet tall giant named Cormoran. He lived in a cave with treasures he accumulated by terrorising the local towns and villages.

The week brightened up. So finally a photo of the Mevagissey lighthouse on a sunshine day.




That's all for today, thanks for visiting my blog.
Good wishes.
Mike.
