St Ives, north Cornwall.


For some reason I didn't expect a surf beach here.

St Ives township.

As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

  3. Old riddle. And yes, Eunice, one.
    As *I* was going...
    Oh and there is another St Ives in Cambridgeshire which is probably where the riddler was heading.
    But where next in Cornwall...one of my favourite places?

  5. Yep, only one, all the others were heading in the opposite direction!

    Last time I was here we were in Russia, now suddenly in Cornwall! (But I've checked back on the course of your wanderings).

    Surfing only on those northcoast beaches. We were always forbidden to try to swim there as kids because of the high waves and dangerous undertows.
