A view over West Hoe
A Trip to The Barbican, Plymouth, Devon - 6th April 2007
It's time to head down to Plymouth to see Mother and Mike. This time, Isobel comes along to see some of the old stomping ground, so we wander around Plymouth Hoe and the Barbican for a while before heading off via the Torpoint Ferry to Cornwall. Once in Cornwall, we find a spot on the wide ranges of sand at Whitsand Bay and hang out for a while, looking at the rock pools and sea-creatures clinging to the rocks. Upon our return, Mike has created another impressive feast of fish, and to round off the night he gets out a small still and rustles up some home-made fire water.
