Veryan Campsite pt7
The light was very dramatic towards the end of the day at the campsite.

Travel
Tresillian
Jeremy and I spent the morning in Truro – mainly in the Royal Cornwall Museum.
On the way back to the campsite we stopped at one of our favourite tea rooms – Tresillian Garden Centre. We have visited it each time we have camped at Veryan just for the Cornish Cream Tea – it cannot be beaten for quality or value. Real Cornish clotted cream and warm fruit scones and jam produced in the village. Cost £3.00 each.
Here is how to find it. It is on the right as you leave the village (before crossing the bridge), on the A390 heading for St Austell.

This was the view whilst I was drinking my tea this morning.
And the complete arch… again.

Veryan Campsite pt5
Another night of rain but again it stopped in time for me to have my breakfast outside in the sunshine.
With the showers there was a rainbow over the tents whilst I was having coffee.
And here are the raindrops on my MSR Hubba tent.

Veryan Campsite pt4
Morning coffee before Jeremy gets up -boiled up in my Crusader Cookset but using my Vargo Ti meths burner as it is cleaner than solid fuel tablets. Even though we have an MSR Pocket Rocket gas stove with us the meths burner still gets a lot of use, especially when we need to boil water for both of us – and we are not in a hurry. It also is a good second burner when cooking – again best for boiling water. The down side is it takes a bit longer to boil the water compared to the MSR stove.

Mevagissey
Another good weather day following a night of on and off showers.
Mevagissey is great place to visit, even with all it’s tourist shops it is still a working fishing village, with character. It also has free attractions, something rare in Cornwall, a really good museum and an aquarium.
One thing to remember though is that the streets are one car wide so park in the first car park (on the left) you come to, it is only a couple of hundred metres to walk to the village and it is better than trying to drive on Mevagissey streets.
Back at the campsite we had tea and cinnamon doughnuts whilst sitting outside watching the sunset.
Another Cornish Sunset
Another Cornish sunset from the Camping and Caravan Club site at Veryan – and another picture of my tent.
It is now a very nice evening, it is dark, and there is no wind and it is not cold either. We are sitting outside having made some hot drinks, Jeremy is reading and I am blogging with a candle for extra light.
Diana is out this evening at Business Club promoting Octagon’s Disaster Recovery Seminar whilst we watch the sunset.
