All seemed bright and cheerful, as we left home, but this soon changed by the time we reached Charlestown.
All was misty, but there was a feeling of peacefulness - which was very pleasant. As you will see I snapped a few photos as we walked.
I remembered how we visited Charlestown to see in the the 2000 new millennium. All was then quiet as we stood on the misty harbour wall. It was quite magical and felt as if we had stepped back into some sort of time warp. Okay, perhaps a bit fanciful, but I'll always remember that special moment
Anyway, back to reality!
The mist was quite patchy.
There were a few people on one of Charlestown's two beaches.
A young girl seemed locked in her own thoughts, mesmerised by the sea.
We wandered towards the harbour wall where several people had gathered
The mist seemed to linger.
Looking from the harbour wall the beach appeared quite hazy.
A Dinghy went out to sea .
There's a lifebuoy on the harbour wall.
Next is a mechanism once used to lower boats into the harbour
All gradually got brighter, below is Charlestown's other small beach.
But don't get to near the cliffs!
Everything gradually got brighter and there were more people about. Oh, and there was an ice cream van on a bit of a slant.
More and more people arrived. It's a popular place for holidaymakers to visit.
Definitely clearer now.
Let's look at a few boats / ships.
The Pier House was getting busy as the mist lifted.
A few more boats.
Below is one of several restaurants - there are a few choices, including the Pier House.
On our way back home now - a couple of cottages seen, on the road into (or out of) Charlestown.
And perhaps a visit to Carlyon Bay, it's not far.
Hello, thanks for visiting my blog.
All good wishes ~ Mike.
