Despite living here since 1978 discovered this cafe with a view right across the Bay in Mousehole - you find it!........
the stage is set.........
they get everywhere, even Mousehole.......
keeping an eye on things is The Harbourmaster, seen here looking for his hat.......
the harbour is a great place for any watercraft.....
though this weekend the Peel Castle is star of the show.......
there's the entire Mousehole fleet.......
swelled today by the visiting working boats.......
topside view of the Peel Castle......
and from the stern......
well gone high water.......
the village is steeped in history having been sacked by the Spanish many moons ago, here's a wooden lintel with the ships name on it.......
along with the decoration.........
the old barking house has curved walls to allow the carts to enter and leave through the other side......
the power base of the village........
there's some old characters in the harbour office......
and evidence of some quieter days......
the village clock is a masterpiece of Victorian engineering......
though not local.......
the pendulum is some 8 foot long......
ever watchful harbourmaster has a busy weekend ahead......
his office has some unusual features.......
all set.......
first few mini-pots roll of the production line......
view of the boats on the West quay......
include the Barnabus.......
on the other quay......
plenty of wind to give the boats a good push.......
the Grace is bound for Brest and Douarnenez next week.......
looks like rain skipper!........
the Kipperman, Mike Smylie is smoking here again.......
a working boat deck with her original fishroom hatch intact......
plenty of working artists in the village.....
Capn'n Keast sings for his supper, its the penny whistle these days as the squeeze box was giving his back some gyp!
