TIRED, BUT LOVING OUR CORNISH ADVENTURE.

Just a quick post with a few photos.
We are having a great time, but I'm feeling so tired.  Cornwall has been lovely, and the weather absolutely beautiful.  We've been thoroughly spoilt by my long time penfriend B and her husband.
Monday we drove down from Leeds and did our usual  getting lost things, so didn't get any photos.
Tuesday saw us being taken to Liskeard and doing some shopping in Trago, where the naïve Xmas decorations caught my eye and did come away with two.  We had our lunch by the river in Lerryn, then onto Lostwithiel, where we checked out some interesting antique shops and lovely old buildings and bridge.

The view from Kit Hill, although this is not from the top, but lower down as the heat haze this day was quite bad.  I'd not realised that UK can have "heat haze".

Wednesday hubby and I headed off on our own and went to Falmouth, explored the Maritime Museum and walked the moat around Pendennis Castle.  We then took the scenic route home.

Thursday saw us take a trip into Tavistock in the morning, visiting the Panier Market and the Quilt Shop, whose name escapes me at the moment.  We also went inside the lovely church near the market.

After lunch, the four of us went off to Polperro, then on to Looe for tea, fish and chips at Daves Diner.  Below are a few photos only, as they are taking forever to load a the moment.

My new best friend. 

This is Noddy, who came past  B's house in the late afternoon with his owners, their horse and two dogs.  He was gorgeous and loved being patted.
 

Friday saw us leave this beautiful county and our good friends.  We wend our way across Dartmoor, savouring its bleak, but serene beauty.  Along the way we saw these..................

Clapper bridge.

Highland cattle roaming free.  This time I didn't take any photos of the ponies, though I did get some in 2011.

As most people who travel know, there are times when you need "conveniences".  We made a stop in Moretonhampstead and found a small Motor Museum, so made a quick stop of a different nature as well.  Couldn't get any good pics of the cars as they were packed in so close, but these are a few of the other things there.

Pennyfarthing and a toy car.

A sewing machine!!!!!

Very old motor cycles.

That is all folks, but I will be back with more of our adventures.  Putting this together has taken about three hours over two separate days.  Does anyone else have this time trouble with loading photos or am I doing something wrong?  Hope everyone is having a great week and take care.
