Already the warmest day of the year - at seven in the morning.

Penzance Rare Books has gone green or so it would seem judging by the verdant window display.......

looking across the harbour all colour has been washed from the view by the hazy start......

leaving only silhouettes in the harbour.......

under wraps......

the Billy Rowney is halfway through a full paint job.........

the floating home of the Avalon Bell.........

clear enough.......

Emma Louise riding high.......

there's no shortage of artistic endeavour in the cultural capital of Penwith, get creative and dare to wear your maddest hat at the bijou Artist Residence Hotel in Chapel Street over the Jubilee Weekend.........

or pop along to The Exchange in return for some right side brain activity......

and then take advantage of Penzance's growing music scene now extended to bars like, would you believe, the once notorious Farmer's Arms at the top of Causewayhead now under Taf Thomas' tutelage this top town destination now features regular live music and plays a key role in the continually developing Cornwall music scene.
