1 I wandered around a favourite village this morning as the lovely Mr S had other things to do. Please take a walk around Flushing with me, enjoying the beautiful things that I found. Click on any photo for a bigger picture and photo details.
View from the hill approaching Flushing
On a gate post. I love how the lion’s tongue seems to be hanging out.
Planted outside a cottage
Come through the arch with me….
View through the arch
Chimney and goose
Dress blowing in the wind
Idyllic cottage by the water
Beautiful slate hung wall -often found in Cornwall in positions of very severe exposure to wind driven rain, as on high open ground facing the prevailing wind and on the coast facing open sea
Just the best road sign ever!
Beautiful house sign
Little harbour opposite the house
The swans
Across to Falmouth
Delightfully painted terrace of houses
Lovely front doors
Victorian letter box
The creek from the car park
2 We then went on to Gyllyngvase for lunch and on the way spotted this lovely little lost jacket hung up on the workmen’s railings.
Hope this little jacket is claimed
Tractor detail
After another dramatic hailstorm, the sun came out again at Gylly and we had a lovely walk with the sun warm on our backs and then, on returning, warm on our faces. Joy!
Enjoying the beach, across to St Anthony Lighthouse

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Beautiful shots. First time I’ve seen a lighthouse at the foot of a hill and not on top. 🙂

Always, do I enjoy your photo Exposé ‘s.
Britain, visual speaking is like night and day. You pass homes and shops older then the country I live in. Though our architecture and the name-places are historically graphed from those ties, it still really doesn’t compare.
Question what constitutes a village in terms of population size?
I heard a joke the other day, though, it was quite accurate. Canada is large, with places spread out between the next. That you can get in car and drive 9 hours. Get out, look at the map and you haven’t gone any place. Where as in Britain you drive 9 hours and your in Czechoslovakia (exaggeration naturally).

Warm sun? What’s that? 😉
too funny – I grew up in a neghborhood in nyc named Flushing (a corruption of the Dutch “Vlessing”, it’s been said).
