BEEN HERE A FEW TIMES...


....well, more than just a few.   It`s yet another of my favourite places that I never grow tired of visiting.  It`s Polly Joke, or Porth Joke, between Crantock and Holywell Bay on the north coast of Cornwall and we were lucky to be there when the poppies and corn marigolds were in full bloom in the fields leading down to the most secluded beach. 

Polly Joke derives its name from the Cornish phrase poll an chauk which means `the chough`s cove` - referring to the red-billed Cornish chough which is now extinct on this part of the coast.  Another place I`m determined to revisit once this damned war is over.......
