Another exhilarating day
along the South West Coast Path, this time to take in the awesome sea cliffs of
St. Agnes Head and the impressive Towanroath Engine House, built in 1872, and
restored by the National Trust. The purple heather and yellow gorse now blanket
what would have been an industrial landscape during Cornwall’s great mining
era!
Coastguards patrolling the
peninsula looking for smugglers originally created the Coast Path with its old
stone stiles and walls. They literally had to check in every inlet so their cliff
top walk was well used and it is a fundamental part of the attraction of being
in Cornwall.

One of my pleasures
this celebratory year has been to connect with the people I know in the world.
Andrea and I met when we both lived in France, and here we are, 30 years later,
walking, talking and sitting on a pavement bench in St. Agnes, munching on
Cornish pasties, drinking ginger beer and reconnecting.
