Thursday St Michaels Mount

Yesterday I caught a bus to Marazion and then, because it was high tide and the causeway was submerged, a boat to St Michaels Mount.  This has been , over time, a monastery, a fortress, a port and a family home. Now administration is by the national trust.  They have also found bronze age implements so there have been people for ages.

I climbed up the many steps and wandered through the rooms that were on display but was not particularly interested. The most interesting part was the tiny chapel. It had an interesting altar cloth and a cross above the altar that Jesus was not attached to but somehow set forward from.  I peered over the parapets, as suggested , to look at the gardens below. These have apparently been designed to be seen from above as well as below. I wandered around these gardens and then caught another boat , wandered around Marazion,  then came back by a different bus route. Different things to see.
