I was not feeling by best during this tour, but never the less I enjoyed meeting Sue Sayer of the Cornwall Seal Group and many thanks for her hospitality and showing me the local seals.

My tour around the foot of Cornwall was in misty rain, hence the lack of pictures.

I got to this Church just after it had shut which was a little disappointing, I had been at Loctudy the previous year.
Tudy a 6th Century monk and missionary strongly associated with the founding of monasteries and churches in Brittany.
The needle at Bude almost identical to the one on the Waterfront but more colourful and interesting in that it involves light and the stars.

The "Bude Light", commissioned by Bude-Stratton Town Council and designed by Carole Vincent and Anthony Fanshawe, marked the Millenniumin Bude and celebrated Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, an 18th century inventor who lived in Bude Castle. It was the first large-scale public sculpture to use colour concrete with fibre optic lighting.
