I did not see St Mawes then and am so grateful for the beautiful photos you've shared here. We spent time at Penzance, St. Ives, Mousehole, St. Michael's Mount, Minack & Lands End. Did you go right up the Lands End, by the way? Spectacular views.

Love it all. ...How totally wonderful this area is. Love it all. Have you read <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousehole_Cat" rel="nofollow">The Mousehole Cat</a> - It's a fabulous book, meant as a children's book but adults rave about it, as well. Mousehole is not quite in Cornwall but on the way back down the coast a bit. <br /><br />Saw The Camomile Lawn in DVD once and loved it. Especially loved the idea of the actual camomile lawn they the owner planted instead of grass... gave of the nicest aroma! and easy to care for. <br /><br />We (from across the pond) have been to England/Scotland 8 times but never got into Cornwall, always driving north and staying in our favourite spot, North Yorkshire. Whitby is highly recommended for a must-see, especially if you love harbors and fishing history. Also, check out web sites on Frank Meadow Sutcliffe photographic gallery in Whitby, all his old photos have been restored and are just wonderful captures of a time long gone by. Thank you for this page. We miss England so very, very much.

As for Poldark, it's being remade for TV - not sure when it's due, though.<br />What a lovely trip you had. Sometimes it takes fresh eyes to make me appreciate what's here in my own country.
