I do always seem to find myself in Mevagissey in the Winter, but I love it though. So quiet and peaceful with just the most wonderful light. It's just down the road from another favourite place, Pentewan beach and near the famous Lost Garden's of Heligan. This was an impromptu trip with lovely friends, a chance to bring comfort and beauty into a tough time. The sea didn't disappoint.  I always leave wanting to linger longer, to explore more. This time we took in a few shops, filled with enticing treasures (gloves in every colour!) and delicious fish and chips. We went to Ben's Plaice, nice vibe and I happily found it gluten free.  Really it's just the chance to dip your toe into the atmosphere. Fishermen getting on with their work, boats bobbing safe within the harbour walls and seagulls sitting in puddles. People-watching and of course greeting every dog that joyfully comes our way. It's a calmness that can only really come from this time of year.  Mevagissey ...
