Since last weekend I ventured out on a blogging expedition and forgot to take my camera with me, I thought that for this week's post I'd go text-lite, concentrating on a few pictures I snapped on our visit to St Ives.
The town is one of my favourite places to visit at any time of the year - if you go out of season, as we did last January, you'll find that you almost have the place to yourself - but during the summer months, it really is abuzz with activity. As it's the quintessential Cornish retreat, it isn't difficult to see why it's so packed during the school holidays. The harbourside and winding streets are packed with an ever-changing array of shops, tearooms, and galleries, and of course there's always a diverse display to be seen at the Cornish branch of the Tate on Porthmeor Beach. Even if, like me, you've still not quite found your sea-legs after two decades of living on the coast, there's plenty to keep you occupied if you can stay on dry land.
We were lucky enough to catch a solitary sunny day in what's been a pretty grey week, so looking back at these photos has certainly lifted my spirits (especially those of our new aquatic friends) and helped me to forget the mid-August gloom that's currently enveloping us!
