Lafrowda Festival, St Just

This weekend was the culmination of two weeks of workshops and festivities with Lafrowda Day in St Just.

Market stalls and entertainment filled the streets. The theme for the day was Viva Lafrowda and the procession in the afternoon was thrilling as always with some great mobiles lead by Elvis who also appeared in the evening lantern procession.

Wildlife

We saw Stan staring out the window yesterday evening - and this is what he was watching.

Simon managed to snap what he thinks is a horseshoe bat in flight by just standing at the back door - not something we will do very often as taking an odd picture of a bat with a flash is okay, but the last thing we want to do is disturb their flight patterns as we get a great display of bats swooping around the garden each evening.

Godrevy

Back to Godrevy again at the weekend on our travels - what a lovely day.

Clear blue skies, so being a Sunday, it was packed with people enjoying the gorgeous weather. However, as you can see from these pictures, packed means gallons of sea and yards of sand for everyone!

This view is looking back towards Hayle at the golden sands and surf that stretch right round the bay towards Lelant and St Ives.
