BSCC Coverack Bay Hotel

Monday partly cloudy, some mizzling.

Cadgewith to Coverlick by way of the Lizard.

Discussed H and Tre with a Cornish speaker and reader. H is of. Tre is house (someone else told us "tre" means farm in Cornish).

At Lizard Point lighthouse we learned that back in the day the locals did not want a lighthouse and did much to stop its construction. Their livelihood depended on luring ships to wreck on the rocks in the coves and grabbing the shipwreck cargo, particularly coal and timber.

Entering Coverack we saw a field of sculptures, picture of one such.

Many coves today. Each lovely and each with ascents and descents.

Tea and scones at the runner up Cornish cafe of the year. Served with damson, a UK plum, homemade jam. There seems to be a lot of "Best of" contests in the area.

Wildlife Sightings: two bird beaches and one mammal butt.

    The problem with damsons is they aren’t as nice as good plums.

  2. I hope you read at least one tale of smuggling along ths Cornish coast as part of trip preparation.  It seems to figure more largely in English novels than in reality…

    Seems to be quite true in reality as well. Smugglers coves, priest holes, photos on walls, cellars in pubs, etc.
