St Ives

St Ives, a photo by Jillian DIxon on Flickr.

We had a lovely time in Cornwall last week. . staying in St Ives.
It is a beautiful part of the world.. . and especially off peak when it is much quieter.
Our favourite place was the beach and beach cafe at Porthgwidden Beach a short walk from our accommodation. We did a walk along the coast towards Gwithian Towans . . drove out one day to Zennor, St Just and Cape Cornwall. . . had fish and chips.. . visited lots of art galleries including the Tate and our favourite Penwith Gallery. . and even went to the St Ives Jazz Club one evening for our first ever live jazz show. I took lots of photos. . . they do say the light is beautiful down there. There was a rainbow, big storm clouds and waves, and we saw a seal bobbing about in the harbour.
Tel had a bad cough while we were away and had to go to the local surgery to see a doctor. . they said it was a virus and couldnt really prescribe anything.
It was really windy while we were in St Ives. . gale force winds battering the town. On our second night a window from the house opposite blew out and smashed onto the ground outside our bedroom window. . . it was a bit alarming!!!
It was lovely to get away for a week. We want to plan another holiday now. x
