EVEN HERE...

Ever wondered what those lovely summer holiday places look like in mid winter? Well, I do. Frequently.

So, as the worst snow for 18 years swept through Kent today, I thought I would take a look at how things were down at Sennen Cove in deepest west Cornwall. It`s one of our favourite places - full of character, always welcoming, always something interesting going on. And this was the scene today, as Sennen shivered under a blanket of snow, which is such a rare occurrence in the far west of Cornwall. Even Cove Hill, the road down to the cove, was impassable today, which meant that the fishing boats stayed in the harbour. A far cry from the balmy, carefree days of high summer. Even here in Sennen it was not possible to escape the winter chill. Click on the photo for a larger image.

Sennen has its own website - click on the link under Snopper`s Links - and Terry, who runs it, sets a quiz every week or so by publishing a photo of somewhere down that way and inviting people to guess where it is. I`ve managed to crack it in the last couple of weeks correctly identifying Carn Brea and also Sancreed, but it`s not often I get it right. If you know the area, have a go. At least it keeps me in touch with a favourite haunt and thoughts of summer.
