Porthmeor Beach - St Ives

Firstly I am sorry about the lack of posts lately, this is due to the fact we have now moved. Well as you can tell the internet is up and running (as long as we don't try and use the phone at the same time) and I hope to get out and take some new images soon.

I still have a few from Cornwall left to edit,but I have another problem, my monitor - which to be fair is quite ancient now tints everything with a lovely shade of pink so editing anything new is out of the question for the time being. However will be trying a different monitor soon.

The pictures below are of Porthmeor Beach, which is the beach below Barnoon Cemetery in St Ives, it was a lovely day.

Barnoon Cemetery St Ives pt 3

Here are the last photos from Barnoon, and I must apologise for the lack of posts recently. \i still have lots of photos to share with you but a the moment we are busy packing up our house, as we are moving shortly, the internet will be going off sometime this Thursday and who knows when Sky will switch it back on - so I will post again tomorrw if I can and if the internet is off for a long while maybe I will use my Mum's Mac again like I did when I had problems before. 

Barnoon Cemetery - St Ives Pt 2

I took a lot of photos here so I apologise if you are not into cemeteries - however I find them so fascinating and this one with it's views over Porthmeor Beach especially so.

Partly because of its connection to a very famous liner sinking - Titanic

This is the grave of William Carbines, he was 19 years old when he boarded the Titanic, on his way to visit his brother in America, sadly he was one of the many that did not survive that night

When I saw how big this cemetery was I didn't think I would be able to find this grave, however, it is close to the path and therefore quite easy to spot.

Seeing the grave of one of the Titanic victims really brings home the scale of the tragedy, it was so long ago now that it is easy to forget that these were real people, with hopes and dreams just like us.

This post is dedicated to all those who lost their lives on board the Titanic.

Barnoon Cemetery - St Ives

One of the places I really wanted to visit this time was Barnoon Cemetery. A. because it is a cemetery and B. because it is on a cliff overlooking the Ocean.

Luckily the day we went was a beautiful sunny day, which really showed off the view.

There's treasure in them there hills

Or at least along the road from us. In between Redruth and Portreath is Treasure Park, a great place, they sell here beautiful Gold, Silver and Pearl Jewellery and there are lots of activities for all the family. And Treasure Park is one of the only places where you can take your dog into all the buildings, Misty particularly liked the silver but wasn't so keen on the pearls, each to their own though eh.

The Minack Theatre - Porthcurrno

The Minack Theatre was one woman's creation - Rowena Cade, bought the Minack Headland after the 1st World War for £100, and from 1931 until the day she died in 1983, she planned, financed and built the theatre. The first play was appropriately William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Today plays are performed at the Minack from May to September, however you can visit the theatre during the day and learn Rowena's incredible story all year round - and what a story.

You can stand on the stage - as I did and imagine what it would be like to perform there with the waves crashing onto the rocks below.

I would recommend the Minack as a great day out regardless of whether or not you are a theatre fan, the scenery from the theatre is simply stunning!!!
