So I've just arrived back from a whistle-stop visit to Cornwall, having spent the last couple of days with the sometimes-anonymous boyfriend, our friend Frosty and his kind housemates who let us take over their living room with sleeping bags.
I don't have heaps of photos, because I didn't want to inflict my ipad mania on everybody too much, but I did manage to take some pretty pictures on Monday evening, when we went for a stroll around Penryn.
As we walked a little further, we left the Jubilee Wharf behind and wandered in the direction of St Gluvias church, near which were some pretty cottages and another great view of the quay.
The following day, we took a trip to Pendennis Castle to see the mediaeval jousting and melée - as I said, I didn't want to take my tablet all over with me and get on everyone's nerves, so unfortunately I have no mediaeval photos for you. But rest assured, we had a very entertaining day - especially given that the evening's diversion was 'power-rangers-for-grown-ups', Guillermo Del Toro-directed blockbuster Pacific Rim...!
On Wednesday, my last day in Penryn with Mike, Oli and Michel's housemates, we were on the road again. This time our destination was Penzance, where we stopped for lunch, then Marazion, where we caught a boat over to the beautiful St Michael's Mount.
Once on the island, Mike and Laurence trekked up to the castle, while Oli and I stayed in the village at the bottom to explore.
And so concluded another trip to Cornwall. Frosty finally turns 19 tomorrow, so I shall sign off by wishing him many happy returns of the season and thanking him and his friends very much for having me for a few days.
(: xx
