CORNWALL

Country roads transported us from the south coast of England

to the west country

- Cornwall,

a place I've longed to see for myself

for so many years.

The St Ives of Virginia Woolf's summers,
(This time cold & rainy,
with floods of tourists & surfers.
But the same streets, the same lighthouse,
the same sea.)

St Michael's Mount

and July sunsets,

Quaint fishing villages, 

like Mousehole here,

(Don't you just love that name?!

Although I was a little disappointed 

(and embarrassed)

to discover it's actually pronounced "mowzel".)


It's also home to photographer Paul Massey's
lovely hope mousehole.

Tintagel in northern Cornwall

with its rugged cliffs,
 green blanket of grass,

turquoise sea,

stuff of Arthurian legends.

Rugged, wild, dreamy Cornwall.

I know I'll be back one day.




Vierailu Cornwalliin oli minulle
 monen vuoden unelmoinnin täyttymys.
Näissä vilahtaa St Ives,
jossa Virginia Woolf vietti nuoruuden kesiään,
B&B:tämme lähellä sijaitseva
St Michael's Mount,
kalastajakylä Mousehole,
(jossa myös valokuvaaja Paul Masseyn
hope mousehole sijaitsee),
alimmissa Tintagelin
vaikuttavat maisemat,
jossa legendan mukaan
Kuningas Arthur sai alkunsa.
