A LABOUR OF LOVE...

One of Cornwall`s more enchanting, yet largely ignored places is Penpol in the parish of Feock way down on the south coast.  Not even the south west coast path bothers to include itself in this particular bit of coastline and yet Feock itself is full of interest.   For example, the church is one of those rarities where the tower is detached from the church itself and locally there are remnants of the past maintained in modern day road names which retain the prefix `La` such as La Vague and La Feock - deriving from `lan` - a place of worship in olden days.

Anyway when we stayed at Penpol last year our early morning walkies with Barney took us along Penpol Creek and it was there that we came across this gentleman busily (well, dreckly) repairing his boat.   It was indeed a labour of love.......
