A day out in our life – lunch at Miss Peapod’s with KJ, L and the Grand-babies followed by a visit to Mylor, the boat yard, the marina and the Churchyard. Click on any photograph for an enlargement.
Lunch finished – time to put my chair away!

I love England and Cornwall and your way of life. However, I think I would miss the sun that we have here in Australia. 🙂

Another excellent photo-essay, particularly nice when viewed in the slide show format! I also have a love of churchyards, though I don’t think we use that term here in the States. Judging from the comments, this is common love! Well done, Sally 🙂

Hi there,
I LOVE old gravestones! I do Genealogy so this is all fascinating for me. I am not spooked by a good stroll in a graveyard :);

Lovely photographs Sally. I think you must have a fascination for churchyards…..I certainly have. I like to imagine the lives of those buried there …a bit Jeremy Visick. Xx

Hello, good to hear from you! You’re right I do! I love the history and the stories in the stones! Wish I had Dad’s talent to make them into something publishable!
All the best to you and yours 🙂
