Cornwall magic……….




We were approaching the little harbour village of Fowey. Rod and I have this thing when we are driving if I suddenly yell “STOP” he does! I had spotted this gorgeous “bus stop”…….we checked it out and it was quite magical – there was a little clock, books, magazines to read while you wait and fresh flowers - it was quite, quite wonderful. We drove down into the village and the shops were all shut being after 6 o’clock, including a gift shop specializing in candles – however, outside still on a display were samples of the stock in the shop…….?? The only apparent deliquents were the molly hawkes ripping into the days rubbish in the street……..we left Fowey with a smile.
On returning to Ewen and talking with various people we believe it’s a different story in summer when hundreds of holiday makers descend on Cornwall queuing to drive around the narrow streets – maybe the bus stop and candle shop are an antidote to the dreaded crowded holiday when we all mutter through gritted teeth “are we having fun yet”!!!
Visiting places out of season has a lot of merit…….do come and visit us out of season??
Much love xxxxxx
