Cornwall

Yesterday we went to Cotehele House in Cornwall which has a beautiful elizabethan home 16th century formerly occupied by aristocracy. The gardens were breathtaking and the weather superb. We then walked down to the bottom of the property and walked along the Tamar river to the flour mill which is still in operation (from memory a couple of hundred years old).

Ate quiche and salad and another cream tea (much much better than the previous day's) accompanied by a swarm of wasps which was very happy to enjoy our leftover jam which we moved to the other side of the table.

Arrived in Mevagissey Cornwall yesterday. Beautiful little fishing village.  Quaint beyond description. Had enormous trouble finding the place--the streets are NOT WIDE!!!!!  Found an amazing restaurant called Salamander and had the best scallops ever. Ross had sole--a bit like flounder.  All fantastic and beautifully cooked.  I have to order soft food now--I can no longer order without thought which is not a joy to say the least.

After dinner we went for a lovely walk and then back to our B & B and on the way through we heard a Cornish choir singing some lovely songs in a pub net home. We sat outside and listened--a rather unique experience--we don't see that at home.  They were a well-rehearsed group and the singing was all "together".

We're about to head off to the "Eden Project".  See you later.
