I missed your pic, sorry: You posted too many for me to keep up with over a couple of days :o)
It looks fantastic inside, must make the effort (not sure G/F will be too keen on that one though).

Yes, I think they are. Nice work. Actually, bricks aside, the restored herringbone stonework on the facade of Tinkinswood is lovely. That's another site I ought to get back to before long.

Yeah, I like Truro museum, it used to have a really good bookshop but it's gone now. There are some amazing finds on display though.

I was always someone for somewhere new, but i'm loving going back to the same places though the seasons down here, eg in visit one of your faves- boskednan every few weeks and everytime is sooooo different, the rest of the countries always in my mind though.

For some reason it surprised me that the tregiffian stone is twice the size as it is on site, and i like the way the marks stop on the bit that was in the floor.

Boskednan remains my favourite place anywhere, despite all the visits everywhere else. Watching the sun set there on my birthday on a beautiful November evening a few years back was a highlight.
