Karen, Paul's big little sister came down from Birmingham for a few days this week/weekend and said she fancied a trip over to Falmouth. And so, that being one of our favourite places, we jumped at the chance to take her over.
Once we arrived we headed over to Trago for the obligatory purchase of some bargains - in this case a collapsible cloche and some vegetable seeds (peas, french beans, carrots and onions). Having dropped these back at the car, we then headed on to the 'yacht club' for tea and teacakes - YUM. We sat and watched the world go round for a while and then headed up through the town to the pier to see the view up the estuary
From Falmouth we headed on to Marazion and St Michaels Mount
and then on towards Penzance for a mooch around some shops before finally heading back up the coast road from Hayle and on through Portreath
It ended up being quite a long day, but well worth it, and the weather was just glorious. A great weekend for Karen to choose to visit.

you've got to love Trago! we bought a water butt there - so cheap!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post Jo. Again these are places I visited when on holiday with my parents many years ago. We went over to St Michael's Mount by boat,looked around Penzance at shops in fact we may have stayed there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and bringing back happy memories to me again.
