Perranuthnoe Sunday 26th October

Last Sunday we walked to Perranuthnoe to have lunch at a pub called the Victoria Inn their website does not do justice to the pub its self. I had pork with black pudding and apple which was the most delicious pork and black pudding I have ever eaten! Below is a picture of Perranuthnoe as we saw it over the headland from Acton Castle.

In Perranuthnoe there is a craft workshop called the Cowhouse which I enjoyed looking around mainly pottery, jewelry and paintings. There was also a tea rooms and craft shop opposite which sold clothes as well. In this Aladin's Den of a shop an elderly local woman was chatting the the young shop assistant who she had clearly known since the shop assistant was a child. They were chatting about the local woman's pig which had just been slaughtered, it was chops for tea that night. The shop assistant casually commented that it would be the goose for the cop next; in time for Christmas, the older woman agreed with a smack of her lips.

On our return home the field below the castle was full of cows who were rather friendly. I took quite a few pictures of the cows but this was my favourite of them.

Although Sunday had largely been overcast in the evening the sky brightened and lead to a beautiful sunset. Below is a picture of St Michaels Mount just before sunset.
