We've been to St Ives.....

Boy did we ever go to St Ives....

Dick and I still dream of these hot delicious Cornish scones...

spread with smooth & creamy clotted cream & luscious strawberry jam

plus the comforting hot teapot of black tea...

We enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of so many we met along the way

Just look at this lovely town...

full of people, homes, shops, bakeries, pubs, churches, theaters, boats...

an enchanting town on the water in Cornwall, England.

A wonderful pub on the water...

The boats....

Bridges...

views...

Unique house with flowers that matched the front door..gotta love that!

Just up from this house was a shop, The Porthminster Gallery 
with this adorable ceramic teapot and cup 
created by an artist named Karen Shapley

I really wanted to take these home with me, however,

the teapot was 160 pounds and the cup was 55 pounds...

that's about $340.00 ....

this picture of it will have to do..sigh.

and this one too

The Sloop Inn

Back to the Pastry Shops... ;-)

This was apple pie...served with clotted cream

Busy, busy workers....serving perfection

Many pasty shops to chose from...no time to diet!

Hard to pick just one.... so we got two!

This little pastry shop, in the picture above and below,
only allowed for one shopper at a time...

we were in line here with a very happy lady

said she had been visiting this bakery since the 50's...wow!

The many fun shops to browse.....

Cars navigate around the narrow streets with people milling around...

Churches...

The gardens....

St Ives will always stay in my heart...

Tally Ho! St Ives!!
