Today we drove to Polperro … a place I last visited on a family holiday when I was about 5 … 36 years ago … I can’t believe I’m that old !!!!<\/p>\n
Polperro is a delightful quaint Cornish fishing village crammed into a rocky valley that leads down to the sea. Like so many other Cornish fishing villages it’s cute with small alleyways and traditional English inns where at any moment you’d expect a gnarly old sea dog to come staggering out in the garb of an 18th century sailor … enough to set the imagination of a 5 year old (or 41 year old) little boy racing.<\/p>\n
Whilst in Polperro we also visited a minature village … something that fascinated me when I was 5 as well.
\nLooking at it though I don’t think it’s had a clean or a lick of paint since I last touched it as a 5 year old!<\/p>\n
After Polperro we drove on down the coast to Fowey ( pronounced I’m told as ‘Foy’) where we took a car ferry across the harbour to the town centre. Whilst here we succumbed to the temptation for a full English cream tea : Sandwiches; Cakes; Scones; Jam; Cornish Clotted cream & Biscuits, and of course 2 pots of Tea.<\/p>\n
Boy am I gonna have to get back on my diet when I get back!
