Barbara Hepworth, Graffiti Grannies and Driftwood Dragon

1   St Ives was our destination today, by train along one of the most beautiful coastlines. St Ives itself is very beautiful and one of the highlights for me is always our visit to the Barbara Hepworth Studio and Garden.

From the train from Lelant to St Ives, one of the best train rides ever

2   By the time we went back along to catch the train home, some Graffiti Grannies had been busy yarn bombing the rails!

3   Two sculptures for you, one, on St Ives railway station by David Kemp who made the Tinners Hounds in Redruth town centre and this driftwood one which I’ve posted before but in case you missed it, here it is again, St George and the Dragon. I love it!

I just want to show you this extra photo from yesterday which delighted me. It was taken near the Lizard Lighthouse.

If you have read this far, a question for you….  I’ve decided I don’t really like the Gallery way of presenting a series of photos as they cannot be enlarged as much to see detail. What do you think?

One from yesterday that I don’t think was served well by putting it into a Gallery.

St Just to St Mawes, Blackberry Dessert and Driftwood

1   Over the King Harry Ferry to St Just and then a five mile walk along the coastal path to St Mawes, again showing Cornwall off to P.

KHF timetable. Love the detail – This side : The other side!

There had been a recent wedding in St Just Church

Wedding flowers on the side of every pew.

Inside St Just Church which was filled with the perfume of all the beautiful flowers

 

 

2   The best dessert in the world has to be blackberries warmed by the sun and straight from the hedgerows.

Warm blackberries

And while I was picking blackberries I spotted this spider very busily spinning her web.

3   On the small stretch of beach that you can walk along on this walk we found lots of fantastical driftwood and this delightful resting place!

Pooh Bear Mirror, Lemon Curd and 100!

1  We bought this delightful mirror many years ago in Penzance and I love it still.
