2021 May – Cornwall

Just after Lockdown 3 eased enough to permit us to stay in a pub and eat indoors, we decided to visit Cornwall.

We drove to Falmouth to visit Pam and Dave Nelmes and had a lovely lunch and afternoon with them. The rain was quite heavy when we set off to head back across Cornwall to Looe to spend 4 nights at The Jolly Sailor in West Looe. Despite the weather preventing us from doing some of the walks we wanted to, we did manage to walk every day including our usual walk at Lanhydrock. If you are a regular reader of the Blog you will know that we photograph a gate that seems permanently open. This time, it was exactly as it was last October with the same prop in the same place!
The rhododendrons were passed their best but still provide some magnificent colours.

On another day, and despite heavy rain, we dressed up in our waterproofs and enjoyed meandering around East Looe and sitting in the shelter overlooking the beach. The day after the weather was much better see the pictures below.

We had a great few days and enjoyed eating in The Jolly Sailor every night. Overall, despite the weather, we had a great time. Looe was as beautiful as ever.
