These are the photographs that I have had made into a calendar for my family who all live away from Cornwall – in Munich, Germany; in Atlanta, Georgia; in Volcano, Hawaii; in Warsaw, Poland; in Exeter, Devon; in North Finchley, London; in Barcelona, Spain; in Dakar, Senegal and in Chilla, Devon.
Please click on any photo to reach the enlargement and to read the full caption. I have used the rectangular gallery setting but it won’t put the photos in chronological so I’ve given you them not in a gallery as well. Which do you prefer?
January 2012 – Walsingham Place, Truro, a beautiful curved Georgian terrace in Truro.
February 2012 – Godrevy Lighthouse from Hayle Towans
March 2012 – Daffodils in Trelissick Gardens
April 2012 – thrift on the cliffs at Chapelporth on the North Coast
May 2012 – Bluebells down the lane on the way to the Duchy Nurseries to buy a tree.
June 2012 – St Michael’s Mount from Mount’s Bay. The best ice creams in the world can be found in the tea-shop here!
July 2012 – From St Mawes looking over the water to the St Anthony Lighthouse. The annual regatta was in full sail.
August 2012- Looking out to Restronguet Creek from the pontoon of The Pandora Inn.
September 2012 – Kynance Cove, a favourite place for the family for many years.
October – Coming back into Cornwall over the Brunel Bridge over the Tamar, after our holiday in India and Nepal
November 2012 – Looking towards St Ives from Hayle Towans
December 2012 Pill Creek , where we first lived when we moved to Cornwall from Birmingham when I was 6 years old. Is it any wonder I fell in love with the County?

Thank you, my eagle eyed friend! I’m not a fan of typos having been an English teacher in a former life. The name of my blog happened by accident too – but I liked it as it sounds Cornish so I kept it!

You are welcome! Being land locked here in Central Virginia, your coastline photos are soothing. I love England, yet have not been there in twenty years! Would love to take a garden tour there someday, if only I could overcome the jet lag! You are blessed. I am currently hooked on a PBS show named Doc Martin–ever watched it? Another English gem…

Lovely photos. I agree with you about the gallery format. Some of the photos are too small to do them justice. I know you can enlarge with clicking, but it’s just not the same. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too. Someone suggested I try the circular gallery and I do like that one for the flowers (today’s photo challenge post) Not sure it would work with other photos though. I may try it again.

Yes, you do! And what I’ve shown you is a tiny fraction of Cornwall in all its glories! All the best to you

I think you were a professional photographer in a previous life! You have such a good eye for it. I like the gallery format best but either way they are lovely. Have you had a play-around with the circular gallery option?

Thank you for your kind words! No, I haven’t tried the circular one yet. Perhaps I’ll try that with the year of flowers that I’m just collecting together.
All the best to you

Beautiful photos! I liked looking at each one…a gallery just doesn’t do them justice!

Thank you! That’s how I feel too but WordPress keep pushing the gallery format so I thought I’d try it again.
Thank you for taking the time to call in and comment – much appreciated.

These have to be among the most stunning photos I’ve ever seen! Must be because you loved what you were looking at.
I’d take them in any form they come!
