The air was so still, likewise the water that the reflections of the masts and the trees was just lovely.

We went to Penzance for one of the events of their week long Literary Festival this afternoon. We heard Christopher Brookmyre talking about his writing and his new. book, Quite Ugly One Evening. We read and loved his first novel written 30 years ago, Quite Ugly One Morning which was absolutely hilarious, a thriller full of wit and black humour. We are looking forward to reading his latest featuring Jack Parlablane. There’s a really good review of his earlier work here..

Afterwards we stopped in Marazion to look out over the sea to St Michael’s Mount and to have some of the best ice-creams available hereabouts.
