St Mawes for Lunch
Sunday 26th April 2009
After two very stormy days and nights a party of twelve gathered at The Prince of Wales pier for the 11.15 a.m. ferry crossing to St Mawes anxiously studying the leaden skies. The twenty minute trip passed quickly and those of us perturbed by the choppy seas beyond the harbour were distracted by the banter among the Cornwall Club members.
A coffee and catch up in the comfort of the Idles Rocks Hotel was followed by a short stroll the Victory Inn where an excellent roast lunch was dispatched. By the end of the meal St Mawes was bathed in sunshine and we walked off full bellies by climbing the hill to the castle.
On the return trip to Falmouth we were surrounded by a variety of small boats and yachts taking advantage of the improved weather conditions. We all journeyed home after a relaxing few hours appreciating the benefits of convivial company and taking the time to enjoy the beautiful county we live in.
