Cornwall 3

We visited some lovely seaside towns, rich in history of smugglers and shipwrecks. These included Looe, Mevagissey, Polperro and Porthcurno. Close to Porthcuno is Minack, a "theatre under the stars". A gorgeous place with an open-air theatre carved into the cliff but there was a performance on so we could only look from a distance.

We also visited Bodmin, yes, had to be done! There is a railway there with steam trains.


And guess who was there, Jane, complete with marmalade sandwich! We went for a ride on the steam train, and read in the pamphlet that there were two little steam locomotives called Alfred and Judy, known as the Port of Par twins.


They inspired Rev W Awdry to create Bill and Ben in the original Thomas the Tank engine books. Thought Sam and Theo would like to see them.
