No gems of found prose tonight, just a note of what we've been doing.

On Tuesday we took the ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey; the Bears had spent a previous holiday there, and gave us a guided tour of the town, including the site of the really good deli which was no longer there.

On Wednesday we explored the Roseland peninsula: failed to walk the quarter mile from East to West Portholland (because the path dissolves into a sheer scramble right at the very end), lunched at Melinsey Mill and then walked round the pond and enjoyed the wicker sculptures and the many teapots; and visited St Mawes castle and St Just churchyard.

And today we turned our backs on Mevagissey and set off along the coastal path in the opposite direction, as far as The Dodman: the hottest, sunniest day we've had, and we followed our walk with a lazy afternoon back at the cottage.

I took many pictures of all of these things, but in the meantime, here's the well-fed robin who kept an eye on us while we lunched beside the pond at Melinsey - and occasionally ventured onto the table to pick up a crumb.

Isn't he splendid? They are such lovely, confident birds.
St Mawes is one of the castles we've yet to visit -- it was too far on our last trip west.

St Mawes was fine, but I liked Restormel (today's castle) better.

We haven't seen that one yet, either. I look forward to your account!

It's easy when your subject co-operates!
