From St Ives to Home.

So time to continue our journey around  Cornwall and

we moved from the South coast  to  the North coast

and beautiful St Ives although I think the main street

 has become even more commercialised than I remember it

with fat face, joules and all the usual subjects in evidence. 

Although no matter what the High street is like

the beaches and surrounding area is still stunning.

Even the grave yard is pretty and overlooks the sea.

Surf was up.

And these were almost the only blue skies we saw 

during the whole time we were away.

On to Devon and we went to a National Trust

house called Coleton Fishacre which is a 

1920's house with a garden that goes to the cliff edge.

It used to have a salt water pool in the cove but you can't go 

down that far anymore but it was a lovely view. 

 I loved this detail in the patio of the house which is 

flower pots inside each other.

The house itself is a fabulous arts and crafts house 

which has been put back to it's original state and 

even had copies of the original furniture especially made but unfortunately

you weren't allowed to take any photos.

On the way home we went to stay with my Brother in Somerset

 for a couple of days and he took us to the Avebury stone circles

in Wiltshire as I wanted to do a bit more research 

on our family history in the area and

as neither Mr T or I had never been there before.

I found them fascinating and so many of them,

it was great to be able to walk around them

which you can no longer do at Stonehenge.

Beautiful village and manor house though. 

So now we are home and I am catching up on

the washing during bouts of sneezing as my

hayfever is awful at the moment.

Anyway enjoy the rest of your week and  thank you

for your comments I really like reading them.
