St Ives Tuesday

Last Tuesday, after a slow start , I pottered rather aimlessly around the town. Very unusual for me. I bought a newspaper and sat on several different benches with different viewpoints of the boats and families playing in the sand.  Before I knew it is was lunchtime. I had a delicious prawn salad from a takeaway place with tables next to one of the beaches. Then I tried another of the 'made in cornwall' icecreams because I did not want to give up my table. The afternoon was much the same as the morning.

St Ives is known for its beaches, scenic views , good light  - lots of artists come and have come here-  little windy roads, alleyways. It used to be a fishing, mainly pilchards, and mining  - tin and copper - town. Now tourism is the main industry.
