The timing of these shots couldn’t be more perfect. Watching this individual swim in the clear waters and stroll effortlessly across the sandbank was beyond magical. She was the only one there, and from above, it looked like she was fearless. This beach is her home. It may be January and we are in t

St Michael's Mount is a historic castle, garden and island community found off the coast of Marazion in Cornwall. Plan a visit to this remarkable location.
We hadn't been to the Menacuddle Holy Well and Chapel for quite a while. When we arrived today it was very noticeable that there has been some love and attention given to the site. The Chapel dates back to the 15th century and is now a Grade II listed building. It is aligned east-west with the east wall built against the natural rock face. Below is an old etching of the chapel I came across a while back - a little artistic licence has been used by the artist! This is the reality as to how the Menacuddle Well Chapel looks today (below). The photo below, of the entrance to the chapel, shows how it is built against the rock face. The chapel now looks all neat and tidy - perhaps a little too clean? A matter of opinion, of course. On a previous visit I snapped a photo and there was moss and lichen on the roof and sides of the chapel. This somehow made it more mysterious and gave the building a different feel. The Holy spring water was once held in high regard for its curative powers. Sick children were regularly bathed here and the Victorians recommended the drinking of its salubrious fluid. It was also used to treat ulcers. A local tradition was to throw a bent pin into the water for good luck. The waterfall is part of the St.Austell River, or Vinnick River, and was often known as the White River. In certain weather conditions the water would become a milky white from local china clay. On the opposite of the river to the chapel is the Druids Chair made from solid granite - as below. It has also been called King Arthur's Seat. A bit of a mystery - but it's quite comfortable - for a rock! A couple of photos now of the small gardens and pond. Ah yes, and I saw this painted stone on the wall. On the back it says that it was painted by Rosie, aged 8. So there is still magic here, it hasn't all been swept away. Menacuddle isn't that well sign posted. If visiting by car take the the Bodmin Road from St.Austell town. It's only a few minutes drive but can easily be missed. The entrance only has a small sign …. Look out for the Elderly People sign - the entrance is just after this. There is parking but only for about four cars. But, in saying this, I have never seen anyone else at the chapel and well when I have made a visit.

On a previous post, Fistral Beach - One of Newquay's Finest For Surfing, the photos were taken on a wonderful sunshine day. I spent a couple of days in the area this week, when the weather was quite variable, so there appeared to be many faces of Fistral Beach as the photos show. The day started with full sunshine, other than a few fluffy white clouds - photo above. The long beach began to fill with surfers and sun lovers. Gradually though a few more clouds appeared. Later, the early evening had a slight chill, so not many people about. A few cliffside flowers did their best to brighten the view. Later that evening most of the people had gone and the majestic Headland Hotel took center stage. The next day, the weather wasn't brilliant, a slight drizzle in the air, but the surfers were on their boards.
