Drive-By Stonehenge

Only in Europe can you drive by a zillion-year-old statue-thing, zoom in, and not miss a thing.  

Last Day at Beesands

Before most of the family left, we headed down for one last fish, one last swim toe dip, a few last pictures.  Sure was quiet when 11 were reduced to three in that big old cottage.  

Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island

Fowey

One day we went to visit a friend of Steven's who has left the police force and opened up two restaurants with his wife.  What a great place he's got at Lazy Jack's Kitchen.  We had pizza by the seaside, a few more than a few drinks, then headed to the local's bar for not-really-locals (reminded me of Happidus in Beomgye…full of expats).  What a beautiful day out and what a joy to hear the two of them reminisce about days gone by.  

Steven recalls a time when he was in the navy that his captain pulled the ship into the estuary and docked there for a few days.  The place was so memorable for Steven, that he kept going back when on leave.  To bring Calum and I there was a real joy for him (if I do say so myself!)…great to see a place through someone else's eyes and feel what they could have felt years and years ago.
