St Ives

St Ives
The sun has caught the harbour nicely here. In the distance is Godrevy lighthouse. It's is a view to the lighthoiuse from Talland, a large house not all that far from here that inspired Virginia Woolfe to write "To the Lighthouse", although the book is actually set in Scotland.
Sight and Sound (no reason except that I understand from a recent "silly season" Times article that there were only 8 recorded Nigels born last year in the UK and yet I know or knew very many, two of whom lived in St Ives in the 70s and 80s. Naming fashions change very quickly!). www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHTrJGeKhYA

As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

It all depends if it is St Ives, Huntingdonshire, or St Ives, Cornwall. The maths is different, Amelia. If you don't believe me, I would simply challenge you to ask a Cornish person a relatively straightforward question to do with money, say and not then get embroiled in a tortuous web of bizarre logic. They wouldn't be right ... but there again they wouldn't be exactly ... wrong!

Oh I remember that song about "As I was going to St Ives" - I didn't know about only a few Nigels being born last year - but there again, it's not a particularly modern name is it?

This is a view of St Ives that I don't know. Normally you see the view from the beach or bay, So this is a really lovely new aspect.

Many people know this view because it is on the path up to (or preferable down from) the main car park situated high above the town. There is a bus to and from it but it is always packed in the tourist season. We park here and walk down and then back up.
