Kindly note the photos were taken a few days prior to Coronavirus lockdown.
During October and November we have to accept variations in the weather. On the day we visited Fowey there was light rain, dark clouds, fluffy clouds and also sunshine. A mixed bag as you will see from the photos.
We found a perfect large, empty seat by the ferry, overlooking the river.
I always enjoy the views along the River Fowey.
Suddenly the sun popped out and it was like a different world.
Looking across the river.
The trees are losing their leaves and many of the small boats are tucked up for the winter.
The Fowey quay became a much brighter place and people were enjoying the sunshine.
After our lunch we headed for the Esplanade passing The Ship Inn.
There are lovely views from the Esplanade, across the River Fowey. A few palm trees in the gardens.
On the other side of the river is Polruan. The ferry from the quay takes passengers across.
Darker clouds were forming as we made our way back to our car.

We made our way to Fowey quay, as above, and then to the narrow Fore Street which follows the river.
Everything got a bit crowded though, when the town bus stopped to pick up waiting passengers.
The street is very narrow and got quite congested, when the fish delivery van joined the other vehicles.
As I have said, Fore Street is very narrow so it's fortunate that it is one way only.
We meandered along the street ...
... until there was space to look at the river and the moored lifeboats.
Corners in the road can be a bit sharp.
As it was getting near lunch time we bought Cornish pasties and take-away coffees at the Cornish Bakery. Being a vegetarian mine was a veggie pasty.

We always enjoy visiting Fowey, reminds us of the time we stayed here in a small cottage while awaiting our house purchase to be completed. Happy Days! Gosh, that was many years ago - before our son was born and now he has a family. How time flies.
