Tuesday from Looe, Cornwall

We arrived on Tuesday in the coastal Cornish village of Looe. This destination was not family related, but sheer enjoyment. There is a small estuary that empties into the English Channel and this ancient fishing village developed on it banks. It is absolutely amazing, especially in the summer when it is a family “holiday” destination for the Brits. Think a Cornish Coney Island and you’d get the picture.

It didn’t take long to find a Cornish pasty for lunch – there are shops and bakeries everywhere with them on display. In fact, they celebrate everything Cornish. Where the estuary empties into the English Channel are beaches that provide a great playground for children of all ages.

Sandy took pictures that should provide her with subject material for her painting for the rest of her life. Pictures will tell more than words about Looe. Hope you enjoy them.

This is our B & B, right on the banks of the estuary.
