Penzance in the misty rain

The train came in about 8:00 and it was raining and coldish for the first time! So we had to have a freshly baked Cornish pasty hot from the oven. We had saved up having one of these until really in Cornwall but it was a big disappointment! Great pastry potato and turnip but i thought id mistakenly got s vege one until i found one tiny piece of meat. Have since seen people chowing into really meaty ones so we were unlucky.  It would keep you going all day though  


Lots of steep streets and high sea walls around the harbour. 



Theatrical buildings and heaps of galleries, painting and drawing studios, pottery and ceramics, photography.


This Patrick Lowry installation was on at the contemporary Exchange Gallery. I chanced a gallery walk and talk into the installation which was interesting. Looking from the gallery perspective it looks convincingly real but as  you get close the you see the car is hollow, and all is a thin facade...by coincidence the Sebastian Faulks novel I'm reading is set in New York on the 60's and mentions  tail- fin status anxiety.


A particularly cool 2nd hand store 






"Found in South Crofty by a Miner" "DO NOT TOUCH" note the subtle labels on this gem


Every boy's dream
