Pirates and Smugglers



We've been confronted by Pirates at Penzance and Smugglers at every picturesque cove and quaint fishing village, but have survived our Cornish adventure with lots of pictures to jog our memories. 

In spite of occasional rain and cold winds, we enjoyed plenty of sun, at least on the coast. We learned that Cape Cornwall was originally thought to be the most westerly point where two oceans meet, but now Land's End further down the coast draws the tourists, who contribute to the local economy by spending on food, drink and the usual trinkets. I think we've both contributed enough to keep the local craft and jewellery shops in business for the year.
