Visitors to Cornwall, especially if they have come from France, deserve to see some of our beautiful coastline.
Our close friends, whom we haven't seen for six years, came on a visit this week. As you can imagine, it was a great thrill and we spent so much time catching up with news.
We wanted to take them somewhere local for lunch. Somewhere with perhaps a little feel of France - open air, sea view and good food.
Where else but Mylor Churchtown? It's the harbour home of a Yacht club, a mooring place for many many boats, and with walks along the beach it was perfect.
Mylor Cafe is set right on the quayside, with a deck where you can sit under a parasol and gaze over the water. There is no real village, just a very old Church, some houses and the Sailing club. Most of the activities are set on or in the water.
Besides the prestigious 'look at me' boats, there were lots of children's dinghies around. They were having such fun racing each other in the harbour.
Crab sandwiches featured on our lunch menu among other things, and we sat for a while enjoying the view with a coffee. A little walk on the beach ended our afternoon, and our friends said how much they had enjoyed their day.

Sounds like a perfect day to me!
Sounds and looks like a perfect place to enjoy the fellowship with your dear friends.
Bless you♡
How wonderful for you and your hubby to meet with your dear friends and to spend it this way with them. xox
I love days like that with special friends. Perfect weather by look of it too. I can taste a fresh crab sandwich right now - we always get them for lunch in Brixham when home for a visit.
what a blessing! I am so glad you had this time with your friends! Six years can be a long time between visits, but I relate to this very well, God bless you and your husband!
Good morning Elizabeth,
Oh how lovely, this precious time spent together at a beautiful place. I had to giggle when I read the 'look at me' boats ...
Enjoy your day!
Love, Carolien
I love these pictures of the boats and the water. It is very beautiful. It must have been a lovely, peaceful visit.
I like your term "look at me boats". There are some enormous ones out there. Lunch by the sea with old friends sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon.
That sounds like a perfect day. I love walking along a harbor filled with boats and smelling the sea air :)
Oh what a delightful time it must have been Barbara :) thank you for sharing such lovely photos of Cornwall :D maria
You live in such a beautiful part of our country, what fantastic views xx
How lovely! I love to eat outdoors, and what a few!
The cafe at Mylor looks like a beautiful venue for tes and catch-up with dear friends. I'm partial to an outside table at a little cafe perched on the cliffside on Rame Head - outstanding views and a guaranteed perfect meal or snack every time. I love to see the reaction on friends' faces when I take them there.
Perfect location! what a pretty place Mylor is. I am so pleased for you having your friends to stay and having a little bit of France in your home!
Lunch sounds exotic and chic. Romantic, even. I still have dreams of traveling to England. I'd avoid London and seek out the country side, I'd pop in just to say "hi." I've been MIA from the blog most of the summer, and I'd just like to say that your garden looks lovely.
Hi! A quick thank you for your recent comments on my blog! A blessing to me, thank you! I hope this week is going well for you! God bless!!!
Any meal shared with friends makes for a good day but I'm so glad the weather was nice. It looks like a lovely place to fellowship.
