Port Loe

Made a 180 degree navigation error trying to get to Port Loe - walking - asked the way of two guys outside a cottage and they just laughed and told me where I had gone wrong ... ambled up the lane along the path and came to a road crossing. Just then a bus came round the corner with 'Port Loe' on it ... I raised my hand, the bus stopped and whisked us down to the quietest bay I have seen for ages. Note to self: beware the £15 bill for cream tea !!

Walled

Just love the care and attention to detail that the builder of this wall felt was worth it. The wall is down a tiny lane in the middle of almost nowhere - brilliant

Alone against the sky

There it was, alone in the hedge, striking against the blue sky of a Cornish day.
