St Marys & Nature Trials

Some of us were up early, went for a walk and got wet. Others more laid down didn’t surface until it was dry. After breakfast we all went to the little church we used to visit then ordered pasties from a little shop fronting Town Beach. We strolled to Porth Mellon passing Carn Thomas where have stayed and back along the beach. The pasties were ready by lunchtime and were delicious.
The sun was now well and truly shining which made for a great walk along the nature trail to Old Town, up to Carag Dhu garden, through to Longstone Cafe, Holy Vale and down to Porth Hellick, where Nat found a square piece of urchin shell just right for a necklace. Wild flowers are amazing and abundant.
We came back past the airport to Old Town and past the school. The old incinerator is now a colourful heap of wild flowers.
An excellent day exploring many old haunts.Read more
