A SHORT WANDER AROUND MEVAGISSEY HARBOUR

A short wander around the harbour at Mevagissey, Cornwall on a pleasant day.


Lots of boats on display depending on the season,


The name of Mevagissey is made  from the names of two saints: St. Meva and St. Issey. 

Two more photos follow.


The white building is the SharksInn food outlet


The next photo is looking outwards along the coast from the harbour.


A quick glance now at a narrow Mevagissey street, which gets very busy in the summer months - and  yes, it is two way traffic! 


Back to the harbour



Finally Mevagissey's small lighthouse  made of cast iron and is about 26 feet tall. 



Thank you for visiting my blog
Mike

and below is a night shot at Charlestown

  1. I'm pleased to see s new post from you Mike. Lovely to see some blue sky, it's been quite a while since we had a clear sky up here, and the boats are really colourful and bright. Popcorn and I are looking forward to some Spring weather to get out again too.
    Lovely night picture at Charlestown, mentioned a.while back about the tv series whichever there, forgot to say at the time but it explained how the town actually got it's name from.a.man called Charles.
    Take care, David & Popcorn.

    1. Hello David. Yes, it's good to have some decent weather, though it's rain again soon, unfortunately. Mevagissey is quite near to where we live - so pleasant to visit on a summer evening. Good wishes, Mike.

    2. Like David I'm pleased to see a new post, Mike.
      I was getting a bit worried and am glad to see that you are back and out and about.
      I'm heading off to the USA in a week's time because my football team (The Sharks) are playing in Las Vegas (against the 4 x premiers The Panthers).
      I'm kind of excited and at the same time s#it scared, as I have never left Australia before in my lifetime (and I'm now 60), apart from a trip to New Zealand in 1977, where I didn't need a passport, because traveling to New Zealand is like visiting your cousins to Aussies.
      Which is funny considering the other NRL game being played in Vegas is the New Zealand Warriors vs the Canberra Raiders :-)

    3. Hopefully it a good omen for us Sharks supporters traveling to the USA that you mentioned the Sharks Inn food outlet in your post :-)
      GO THE SHARKIES!!!

    1. I've replied to comments on my blog in the past and wondered why there was doubled spacing between my words?
      Glad to see it's not just me :-)

    1. You need to delete the comment twice to remove the "This comment has been removed by the author" comment, I have learnt over the years from removing comments in which I have made a mistake in a comment, Mike.

  6. Hi Mike, I remember that post but did have a refresh viewing of it. The b&w photos have a lot of atmosphere. David.

  7. If I survive my American and Singaporean trips this year Mike, I might just fly over with my son and do some of these walks.
    But you know what they say?
    If you want to make God laugh, tell God your plans :-P
