Sennen Cove

We have found over the years, that if it is a bit cloudy or mizzly in St Ives, a short trip to Sennen Cove - nearer Lands End - can sometimes produce better weather.  

I love Sennen Cove .  It feels as if nothing has changed since the 1950's.  I think you can get here on the open top bus from St Ives too.
Look what I found for you in the sea.
It is a great place for surfers and when the tide is out the beach is huge.  The colours are so vivid and truly beautiful.
Hubby and I enjoyed a lovely stroll along the waters edge.
And this little fella had a go at nipping my toes.

And especially for Jake - my cousins boy in Texas, I went to see if the shipwreck was still there.  And it is - just.  The SS Mulheim ran aground here in March 2003.

What gorgeous photos of a stunning place. To my shame, Cornwall is one of the many places in my own country I have never visited... I must remedy that! xx

We love Sennen Cove too, the lifeboat station with a small exhibition it made me feel very sad. How wonderful to find the heart in the sands!

Jose and I are off to St Ives for a couple of days before she goes back to London. It was going to be a week but the boyfriend and the fact that she'll miss him too much gets in the way. Still, I get a couple of days there with just her, it'll be lovely. The weather looked lovely when you were there xx
