Every time I go it feels a little more touristy and another proper shop that servied the community has closed and been replaced by somewhere that sells expensive yachty casualwear or things that are nice-but-useless. <BR/><BR/>Love your blog.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202371837109856183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-13246192703923441402007-11-19T14:10:00.000+00:002007-11-19T14:10:00.000+00:00I didn't have time to comment yesterday as i was f...I didn't have time to comment yesterday as i was far too busy as I 'filched' your lovely picture. Hope you don't object - if so just say and I'll remove it. Is it your own photo and is the location in cornwall - its really beautiful. Autumnal colours and water leave me speechless.<BR/><BR/>I loved the name of Readymoney Cove - must get the map out and see exactly where it is. Have just googled it. I'm off to have a look at it now.
