THE CARRICK ROADS

Our youngest Grandson who is five came to stay on Saturday and a sleepover Saturday night, so on Sat afternoon we took him down to Falmouth to have a look at the boats and things going on out in the bay. He really had a good time exploring along the shoreline,but I think the best part for him was the massive Ice Cream he had just before we left. Anyway I did take the camera and got a few shots of the Carrick Roads, this is the stretch of water that leads into the harbour and the river Fal.

  1. Hi Monty, It's great to be back :) Your photos are lovely as always and Cornwall always seems to me to have a look all of its own. It sounds like you had a very busy Saturday but great fun I'm sure!

    Thank you so much for the special comment you left on my blog, it was so thoughtful (and clever) of you. I have left a reply but only managed two lines of verse :)

  2. Nice shots of Falmouth. I went there for the only time in 1990, when I happened to know a lovely girl from there who had moved here to Wales. Enjoyed looking through your blog. The rugged Cornish coast always reminds me a bit of Pembrokeshire.
