The first house we lived in when we moved to Cornwall from Birmingham when I was six years old was this amazing place on the side of the creek. We could walk down the path on the terraced garden to the little shingle beach.
The view down Pill Creek was much like this one , taken from the other side of the creek this afternoon when I visited a very old friend and her daughter (whom I used to babysit for 50 years ago!) who are staying in a holiday let. We had a fabulous catching-up afternoon.

Driving home along Pill Lane, I had to pull over to take this photo of a beautiful gnarled old Oak tree.

Is this on the Carrick Roads? What an idyllic location.

Yes, it is – just along the way past Loe Beach. We used to walk on the rocks around the point when the tide was low – such a beautiful free childhood. 🙂

It was – and only in later years did I realise that, technically we were homeless. We moved every summer and winter to a new ‘let’ and then when I was 10 we were given a council house in Truro. For us kids it was a. dream come true! I’ll expand on the story at some point. 🙂

Lucky person who gets to call that little window “theirs.”
