Sunday 18th December at 5pm saw an intrepid band of twenty two set out by coach from the museum. We were aiming for Mousehole, but we went via a selection of villages and country lanes. I know we went through Helston, Porthleven, Breage, Marazion, Penzance and Newlyn. We were lucky to find a prime parking spot in Mousehole, and in order to help us walk around the harbour, the coach driver issued us with 'iron rations' of sherry and mince pies from the coach boot. The Mousehole lights were fantastic. I know they always are, but then there is always that something extra.Forty Five minutes later we were on our way again. This time via Long Rock, Hayle and Angarrick – which was amazing. Fish and chips at Trevaskiss Farm came next, a great place to stop, all of, plus the driver, at one long table. The place was packed. None of our crowd could manage one of those fabulous puddings though!
Home finally to Falmouth. I actually got home at nearly 11pm but it was a great trip, everyone enjoyed themselves, and the coach driver was a definite 'one off' with his humorous comments and knowledge.
Many thanks to Tess and Beryl for the idea.
