Jubilee Pool, Penzance
I visited Penzance in Cornwall, UK, with a friend for a gloriously fun and sunny weekend last year. It was such a brilliant weekend and we were totally blessed with weather.

I spent a lovely day in London at the weekend catching up with a friend. We ate good food, drank gin and tonic and she introduced me to the works of the prolific artist, Dale Chihuly, an American glass sculptor. I must admit I had never heard of him, but as soon as I glimpsed [...]

Well, I can’t say that the Great Western Railway Night Riviera was much like that (despite the cool name!), but it [...]

We had a whole day to fill on the Sunday before we had to board our train back to London in the evening. What shall we do? Take a bus to St Ives! It’s only 30 minutes by bus from Penzance on the south coast to St Ives on the north coast and you are [...]
