A few more photos from our mini break at Gurnard’s Head Hotel, an ad for the hotel from 1900, another view in the Church and approaching St Ives as we left.

The next episode of the unknown Suffragette’s Diary is published. Our Suffragette is still confused, thinking it is August rather than July.

I would not mind being, in another life, a stained glass window. Or maybe I was already. We are colourful in our own way after all.
The shot leaving…….that’s the type of landscape I remember and which fascinated me when in UK many years ago. Fields with stone fences and walls built by forgotten souls.
Just got my legs back as I have been sick, still not back to snuff, but the brain is starting to come around -for better or worst.

Hello Calvin! I’m Sally’s next-door-neighbour. Those field systems are mind-blowingly special. They are allegedly the oldest man-made structures in the world still being used for their original purpose…

Thank you for that. Mind blowing in deed. The phrase , ‘if these walls could talk’ comes to mind. Ancient, yet art-wise they are works of art; beyond imagination. Think of the history that followed.

Really sorry to hear that you’ve been sick and hope you are on the mend. I hate that time of not having your legs and I’m happy you are getting yours back.
Stained glass window in next life – yes, I could do that – imagine what one might see from that vantage point and, being beautiful into the bargain!
My neighbour Sue told us more about those dry stone walls this evening…
All the best to you for a proper recovery soon. 🙂

You found some more lovely stained glass! One of my favorite things in historical architecture. Thank you!

It is a gorgeous Church, most unusual and so very old! 🙂

Hi Sally, have you read the Helen Dunmore novel about DH Lawrence’s time in Zennor? I’ve been reading about her recently, so I’m going to HBlook out for it. When I was at uni I did prehistory as a subsidiary. and we visited prehistoric tombs on moors near Zennor

I haven’t but after our visit I determined to. I do like her writing, fiction and poetry. We bought the new poetry book in Penzance and I am loving that. There are lots of standing stones and prehistoric remains in West Penwith. Glad you were able to visit. 🙂
