While visiting Gwen's place

She wanted to take us to see Richardo's place

Richardo's place is a Mill that he has restored 

and decorated into a great little Tearooms

He has a pond,

he has placed setting around to and attractions

He still has the mill

that works

The Wildlife is abundant.

the tearooms are small and open during summer.

The road to it a very small and you have pray that nothing is coming the other way.

But what a Mill

St Mawes Castle

St Mawes Castle

This little castle, is not a castle, it is a fort.

Built is King Henry's time

It took us all of 10 minutes to walk around before going up to Gwen's

Jenny in History

In the late 1930's, John Percival SAYCE had this picture taken

In the 1947, John Sayce Jr had the same shot taken on the other side of the wall

When we we at Gwen's last visit, they mentioned it was a the St Mawes Castle

So off we went to the St Mawes Castle this time

At the front desk they looked at the photo and saud it was around the corner.

Around the corner we went and there it was

So I asked my Model to pose.

3 Generations have stood at the same spot for there photo's

Now the challenge has been laid down for the next generation

Visting Johns Grave

St Just in Roselands

This is where we laid John to rest over year ago

Jeinnfer wanted to lay flowers at his grave. 

It is just a lovely place, so peaceful and nosieywith bird song

Lanhydrock

Lanhydrock is a jewel of the National Trust

So off we went to explore this wonderful place

this was a castle that become a home for many generations.

The place was modernised in the 1900's due to a fire.

Some parts were still 1600's

Others from the 1920's

With the modernisation of the place, the kitchens were upgarded

And WOW what kitchens

This was the enlightenment room

A lot of the Items have gone now and are in museum's 

But you still got the grandeur of it

Outside it had its own chapel

The gardens were out in bloom

But it was the stream in the middle of the garden that made people stop

As for this little guy, he was interested in the insects we were disturbing.

And in the shade, the bluebells were out in abundance.

Torquay by night

Hoilday weekend down in Devon.

So we left early Friday and arrived in Torquay in thelate evening

This is described as the english riviera 

I found it a major tourist trap.

The light was good so I went out a took pictures
