My Walk this Week 147 – Back in Penzance and St Ives

My walk this week is from this time 6 years ago when we visited Penzance and St Ives on the most south western corner of Britain. I was very pleased to have the excuse to visit a part of the UK I had never seen before and about which I had heard so much.

As you can see from the blue sea in the images below, we were very lucky with the weather when at St Ives, and though windier in Penzance, that made the place no less enjoyable. The only thing I regret now is that I didn’t get any sound recording done while thereContinue reading

Penzance Interlude

Having enjoyed a couple of days at Lizard Point and Falmouth in November last year, we were looking forward to another visit to Cornwall, this time to Penzance and Falmouth.

The connection, of course, is Falmouth. My daughter, Hannah, had an interview for the Contemporary Crafts BA (Hons) Degree course at Falmouth University. There is quite a bit of competition for places on this course and so, last night, when she found out she was accepted, she and we were very pleased, even though it isn’t her first choice – that interview is still to come! Hannah’s blogs can be seen at hduncancreations and hduncanphotography.

We did not have time for a proper visit to St Ives but enjoyed a walk around Penzance and Falmouth in the sunshine. We stayed in a Youth Hostel again and it was another excellent place. We are now members of the YHA and I look forward to more visits to other youth hostels.
