A changeable morning weatherwise as we popped into Mevagissey. It looked pretty much as usual.
The harbour was colourful in the chilly sunshine but ...
... there's often something quirky hidden away. Not sure who this fellow is, but he looks a little unsettling.
The mural is from a previous poppy day.
A few of the boats in the harbour.
A bit of blue sky and cliffs to the east of the harbour.
Moving inland from Mevagissey some blossom ...
... and blooms.
We passed by the church at St. Mewan, which dates back to Norman times. The bell tower foundations and the base of the font were built way back in 1100.
There is a local legend that the church builders were prevented from building the tower any higher by the Devil himself. He would throw down stones each night when he considered the correct height had been reached, to his satisfaction. Mind you, I have heard similar tales where this has happened to other churches.
Just around the corner from St. Mewan church the long straight road has views across the green countryside.

Sadly developers have started to build houses alongside the road. But, in saying that, affordable houses are needed in Cornwall.
Moving on we made our way down the narrow road which leads to Gover Valley ...
... stopping at a view point.
Finally we were in the valley and all was well with the world.
Thanks for visiting my blog ~ Mike.
