Mousehole at Christmas

The festive season started in earnest for us yesterday, 22nd December, when Ian drove down to Cornwall (accompanied by our daughters) to collect some beautiful Cornish tin jewellery from our good friends at Blue Hills Tin near St Agnes - these are Christmas presents for the guests taking our Cornish Christmas walking holiday.

Ian and the girls were accommodated at Hotel Penzance and had a marvellous dinner in the hotel's Bay Restaurant.

No Christmas visit to Penzance is complete without a visit to Mousehole to look at the display of Christmas lights in and around the picturesque harbour. Ian used to do this as a child and the tradition has been passed on to the girls. One day in the future they might bring their own children, let's hope so - that's how traditions stay alive.
