Falmouth Bay.


Falmouth Bay


 A friend rang me, a surprise call, and said she was nearby and how about going out for lunch?
It wasn't a warm sunny day, but we drifted over to Falmouth and after a delicious lunch overlooking the water, we decided to wander along to take a closer look.
There were actually people in swimming costumes dashing in and out of the water. I didnt take pictures of them, just admired their courage!
Even on a greyish day there is something very calming about the water here.
Right on the Point (to the left)you might be able to see Pendennis Castle, one of our historic monuments. I'll tell you about it in a later post.
It was a good day.

An outing with a friend is a lovely way to spend a few hours. The view is also lovely. Glad you had a pleasant day. Swimming in the sea in February wouldn't interest me at all!

I wish I was by the sea! Such beautiful and calm scenery. They sure are courageous to go swimming!

We used to visit Falmouth several times a year when my parents lived there, and previously in Penryn, all through the 1980s and 1990s. Lovely memories, thank you.

What a wonderful outing! I would enjoy seeing the castle pictures, so intriguing! And such a wonderful thing to enjoy being with a friend overlooking the water! There really is just something special about water. Brr - to those people out swimming in the water! Many blessings to you :)

Little patches of colour
