Cornwall Tour

We are staying at Tredinney Farm about 4 miles from St. Just. Rosemary and Dennis are the owners. This morning Rosemary made us a great English breakfast. An English breakfast is English bacon (Ham), sausage, one egg, tomato, fried mushrooms, fried bread, and toast. It was good but it was a lot. We were tempted to go back and sleep it off but we pressed on. It was a windy day in Cornwall today. When the wind blows here it blows hard. Cindy was almost blow off her feet at Land’s End. We stopped at Sennen Cove and I took a picture of Cape Cornwall, the only cape in England. Then we went to Mousehole (top picture) which is pronounced ‘mowzle’ We had a Creamed Tea but with coffee. A Creamed Tea is tea with scones. The scones are covered with clotted cream and jam. Cindy has become a clotted cream junkie. Next we went to try and find a laundry in Penzance (second picture) but they had all closed by the time we got there, so we will try again tomorrow. We jumped in the car and headed for St. Ives (third picture). On the way we found a horse stable and made reservation to ride horses tomorrow. If the weather holds; laundry and horseback riding are the plan for tomorrow. St. Ives is a beautiful little town with lots of local crafts and art. Cindy found her sweater. From St. Ives we went back to St. Just were we are told they make the best pasties in Cornwall at McFadden and Sons Butcher. Having had one pasty before, I would say it was the best pasty I ever had. At a place called the Cookbook we had coffee and cake that was great. Cindy had clotted cream with her cake. I found a fire station/Coast Guard Station (bottom picture) in St. Just also.
