A few great days walking the coastal path around Lands End. The whole thing was kicked off with a kind invitation to supper with a customer of artonweb who I had never met in person before, Lin (+husband Eric) & Janet a very enjoyable evening. Link to Lin's paintings... www.linwilliams.com 

Apart from the great scenery, I enjoyed the company of many people walking the route, especially Martyn where we shared a couple of the best Cappuccino's this side of London. Martyn's photo blog, including AL with cappuccino  http://www.flickr.com/photos/swcp630

On the cultural front the Round House Gallery in Sennen Cove provided some of the best contemporary pictures I have seen in Cornwall for years... www.round-house.co.uk  The John Piper pictures are outstanding.

To give the trip a rounded feel (& a rest from the walking) I paid a visit to Geevor tin mine which only closed in the 90's.... www.geevor.com . The mill shed was like something out of Indiana Jones and a testament to the ancient use of wood scaffolding. We also enjoyed a trip down a 300 year old mine, at the time if you reached  27 it was an achievement...reminds me how lucky I am to be a DB in the 21st century.

On the last day in Cornwall I came across the beach cafe at Porthcurno... the art of a clotted cream tea (in my case a clotted cream tea with cappuccino + a work through the 'Times') is alive & well. www.firstandlastcottages.co.uk/thingstodo.htm
