Something New

My song this week is Whats New and sung by the famous Crooner
Frank Sinatra
Something New to us this year, we have spent a few days - seeing in the New Year in a little Village in Cornwall, famous for their Christmas Lights
All run by volunteers
|
Whilst the lights are a celebration of the season there is also a twinge of sadness for the village. On the 19th December the lights are turned off for an hour between 8 and 9pm in memory of the crew of the Solomon Browne, the Penlee lifeboat that was lost with all hands on that day in 1981 whilst attempting to rescue the crew of the Union Star off Lamorna. Nearly all the crew of the lifeboat were from Mousehole including the pub landlord, Charles Greenhaugh, to whom there is a plaque on the wall of the Ship Inn.
Julie and I had one hell of a time getting down to Cornwall due to Engineering works and far too many folk - but thats another story.
My Header shows Julie sitting in our Lounge and Reflecting on our Holiday and the Sunrise
Pure Magic
Our Lounge - as you can see we had the most wonderful view - high up on a hill.
Here's a couple of photos of the Lights in Mousehole in the Harbour.
Mousehole and its Harbour taken from our Apartment.
Such a quaint little Village and wonderful to walk through its narrow streets.
A lot of the cottages have their own Decorations up
Here's 3 Photos of some of the cottages and of the Harbour

Your photographs are splendid, Stewart. I love the way you capture light....so hard for me to do, but you do it brilliantly.
Happy New Year to you and Julie.
Love,
Jackie
The loss of life is tragic, but I respect how the town honors the fallen rescuers.
The fireworks photos are vibrant! Those shots and the town's lights create a strong impact.
A new site for you in Cornwall. Soon you will know the whole region like the back of your hand.
Mac: Certainly enjoyed your trip over the holidays.
Great shots in your new vacation spot! The small towns and villages certainly have maintained the flavor of years past.
Definitely pure magic, that sunrise! And oh, that view; makes me want to cross the pond for a visit!!
