My birthday treat was to go to St Ives on the train, one of the loveliest train journeys ever, to be by the sea, to visit the Hepworth sculptures in her garden, to go to the Tate and to have lunch out. We had not realised that New Year’s Eve means 20,000 people descend on the town for the New Year celebrations! The town was as busy as on the sunniest of summer days. Happily, we know our way around the little back streets (We had our honeymoon here in 1967) and managed to visit everywhere we had in mind, just skipping out on the lunch. Join us for a magical day.

Fabulous
I love the fun being had here
So much sand has been brought into the town by the recent storms.
As we were leaving, the tide is on its way in.

I’m glad you still managed to have a lovely day. We were there on Saturday and saw a pod of dolphins in the bay.
Happy New Year to you both ❤️
