We've been away ...

We've been away to Cornwall.  Staying in the lovely village of Phillack, near Hayle in West Cornwall.

We had some fantastic weather and some awful weather.

Just a few shots of a very pleasant time.

 Above is St Piala's Well, or St Phillack's well.

This is a traditional holy well which was abandoned until 1993, when it was restored by the Hayle Old Cornwall Society and reconsecrated.

St Phillack's Church in the village.

 The George V Memorial Walk alongside the Hayle Estuary is listed as sub-tropical.

The amazing blooms on this cactus proves it!!

~

 Amazing 'mediterranean-type' views from The Bluff Inn, Hayle, across to St Ives.

~

 The local pub 'The Bucket of Blood'!

Grandchildren loved the 'goryness' of the name and sign and have done some gory drawings for their parents!

~

We also had some very rough weather, but more of that later
