I've just spent a week in Cornwall.
Porthleven is a fishing port near Helston in Cornwall. I believe it is the Southerly port in Great Britain and was developed as harbour of refuge when the Cornish coast was notorious for its wrecks.
Ah Cornish Gulls :) These are near an outdoor set of tables. They were well behaved!
Porthleven gets battered by storms and is often on the news with this view showing waves battering here.
Some friends suggested going to the exhibition of work by artist Anish Kapoor at Houghton Hall in Norfolk so yesterday off we went.
Houghton was the home of Britain's first prime minister Sir Robert Walpole. It is an attractive house situated in a fine park, with one of the best walled gardens in the country and has some permanent exhibits of outdoor art.
It also has a herd of white fallow deer which were very showy yesterday.
This non white was sitting apart from the others!!
There were two exhibits from Kapoor that I particularly liked firstly the Sky Mirror.
My other favourite exhibit was in the house. There were coloured steel "mirrors" on the wall. Alas they only work in colour really :)
My favourite of the permanent exhibits is the fountain which catches light. Again doesn't work in B&W really ;)
Houghton is a superb place to visit
