Portreath, Cornwall - again!

[GrahamS]

We have just returned home from a trip to Portreath, Cornwall, our second visit to our daughter. We drove there and back in the Jaguar XJ8 which gave us space, pace and grace. I don't think I have ever enjoyed a road trip as much as I did this one. BMW and Mercedes drivers, eat your hearts out - you will need to trade up to a Bentley or a Rolls to come anywhere close. 726 miles, 34.2 mpg. Better than our Honda Civic!

I used the Fuji XE2-s and the Nikon D7100. Here are some of the shots from this trip:

My best beloved looking at the low-tide harbour.



At the local shops


The promenade


The harbour entrance


The village harbour at Mouse Hole (Pronounced “Mosehul”)


Mousehole cafe bar. A nice place to enjoy a cream tea.


A good selection of Gin and Vodka on offer


It’s all in the menu…..


A hug at the bus stop….


St. Ives harbour. A very busy commercial fishing port.

Great series, Graham. Thanks for posting.

These are mighty fine pics, Graham. Nicely sharp and great colo(u)rs indeed. And clearly a nice place to visit too!
I love Cornwall although I've never been there in person.

[GrahamS]

Thank you James and Benny.

It seems I will have to go there to see you driving the Jaguar

Nice photos, Graham, thank you for showing us such nice place.

Beautiful place and excellent images! I like the first one, with the parking lot for yachts. That is some low tide!

Great series...
but there is no picture of the Jaguar

[GrahamS]

Apologies, but when we arrived I parked the Jag up and didn't use it again until we left for home. I just wasn't thinking......

But here's one I baked earlier:

I can't think anything wrong with this car, knowing me that means it's something extraordinary good, even I like the man next to it!!

[titrisol]

That is a sign of a wonderful vacation!!!
I saw that pic earlier, that car handles like a champ, and that gas mileage mmmhhhmmmmm!
IIRC, years ago there was a TopGear episode in which they tried to drive form Switzerland to the UK on 1 tank of gas and the Jaguar got the farthest even when Clarkson was pushing it to stop first

Apologies, but when we arrived I parked the Jag up and didn't use it again until we left for home. I just wasn't thinking......
