Family Holiday March 2017 - St Ives, Cornwall 24.3.2017

 We made it to Cornwall. - the exposed southwestern tip of England where the weather, which is mildly grey and unpleasant in the south of the country, is completely exaggerated. Storms, gale force winds, torrential rain - we had it all.

Home for the week was an original tin miners cottage (with a new fireplace, thankfully!) booked through airbnb in a tiny place called Wheal Kitty. Here's a few pictures of the inside, the outside will have to wait for better weather.  It had everything we could possibly need and piles of character into the bargain.


Onesies were the dress code for some of us ...


But nevermind the weather, time to explore. Today St Ives,

Matt wasn't impressed by the narrow lanes. We missed a turning and look how steep this road is, fortunately there was no oncoming traffic, but that was pure fluke. 

 


This was Kate's first Charity Shop - she had to be persuaded out of there ..


by Cornish Pasties!



We meandered through the picturesque narrow lanes, holding up traffic and annoying the locals, down to the harbour.








To lunch





Then back out into the cold and further meandering along the sea front.


With warning signs all along the way, these are mean birds!




Though Kate stopped for a chat.


 
This is such a pretty little town, I wish we could have come back, but there was so much to see, this was our only visit.






Yes, much hilarity as usual!





A reminder of times past and, Poldark!
