My Cornish Break

Fantastic photos of Padstow. I was there with my family last year.My grandparents came from there and my parents retired there in the 1970´s, so we always had somewhere to go on holiday. My parents are buried not far away at Trelill...the other side of Wadebridge, so that is another reason that we go there every few years. When my dad retired he worked part time at the sports shop on the harbour...in the first photo...the one with the blue notice boards on it and also on one of the car parks on the harbour...I could go on and on about my Padstow memories.

glad you enjoyed your hols,lovely part of the country..:O))

I'm pleased you enjoyed your Cornish break, looks lovely.
The Acers in the Japanese garden are beautiful.

Thanks for your comments Rogi, I'm pleased that my photos have brought back such lovely memories for you. I would have liked to have spent longer there than we did, but I really enjoyed my visit.

Thank you Joanella, it was lovely.
Shirley I wished we had room in the car, but there were 4 of us, so it was impossible. They were so reasonable pricewise.

I got really confused then ... there must have been Acers for sale there ?

Oh sorry, yes there were, and they had reduced the prices ! Gorgeous colours.

You should have sent 2 of the passengers back by train and put the plants on the back seat ! Love the wellie display too, very unique. : o ))

Great pictures.Makes me want to go next year, spent many a lovely holiday in that area

Good idea Shirley, why didnt I think of that !
Bjs thank you. I love it down there too. We actually stayed at a little village called St.Minver. Lovely old pub for meals and a quaint church with a spire that leans.

Lovely part of the world, enjoyed your blog......and great pics too.

It's nice to view your photo memories and to see Boscastle pretty much recovered from the flooding that hit there just a few short years ago.

Someone was very creative with the wellies...lol Quite amusing and eye-catching.

It will have been nice time to visit Cornwall as I suppose the tourist season has pretty much passed now...it looked as if all the boats in Padstow harbour are covered over for winter. Thanks for sharing with us, Cinders.

Thank you Dotty, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks Whistonlass. Yes looking at Boscastle now its difficult to imagine what happened there. We visited late afternoon and there were not many people about. We enjoy an October holiday for that reason,

lovely blog cinders, glad you enjoyed yourselves, lovely acers there and would love to eat at rick steins yummy, did you eat there ;o))

Thanks San, well we didnt eat there as it was rather expensive, but we did buy one of his pasties at the pie shop, and it was delicious.

lol sounds like something we would do cinders ;o))

lol :o))

Glad you had a good holiday Cinders, thanks for sharing your photo`s, they are lovely.....

Thanks Lincslass. Glad you enjoyed the photos

Nice pics Cinders,and glad you had a lovely time.we love Cornwall,and have visited Padstow a few times.Not been to St Minver or Boscastle yet..but so many places to see.My cousin lives in Mullion,and called to see them last year,it is so pretty round there..

Thanks Sandra, I love Cornwall, as you say,it is very pretty and rugged in places too.

beautiful photo's, so glad you enjoyed your break Cinders.

Thank you Yorkshire.

I`m so glad you had a lovely holiday Cinders. I haven`t been to Cornwall for many years myself but a friend visited Padstow and Boscastle earlier in the year and had a wonderful time there too. I love the photos, especially of the Acers in their autumn clothes. :o)

Thanks Labdancer, the acers were lovely, but so were all the trees everywhere, all changing colour along our route.

Thanks Cinderella for the lovely photos. Sad to hear that the Bonsai garden in St Mawes was looking neglected - it used to be one of my favourite places to visit (one of our sons lives in Falmouth). I bought a bonsai Copper Beech in a blue dish there about 12 years ago, and it's still alive!

Hi Sheilabub, I think the Bonsai garden will probably improve again once the owners wife is back on board, it is quite spiritual there isnt it.

So glad you enjoyed your holiday here in Cornwall, your pictures are lovely.

Always enjoy Cornwall Pam, thank you.

magic, as a Devonian born & bred I know & love Cornwall. I too make a mean pastie btw, spinach base then meat n potato with what I'm told is the best pastry ever - - - -- - - - - - - -"OooErrrr !! ;-))

Sounds good Bampy. Is that all the ingredients, or do you add a little onion. I might try it. I made the smoked haddock one yesterday and it was scrummy.
