We took a trip to the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole (near Penzance) today for a look around. The weather was cloudy with light drizzle on and off and I don't know if that had put other visitors off but it was very quiet everywhere. Looking for geocaches took us up small lanes, somewhere we wouldn't perhaps have gone if we weren't caching, so it was well worth searching.
The first cache we found was dedicated to the crew of the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster.
The harbour,
and from a different angle.
Another out of the way spot we visited to find a geocache, looking back at Mousehole,
and from further down the hill.
There were all sizes of alleyways, nooks and crannies.
We passed a plot of small allotments, this one contained lots of people and faces made up of all sorts of 'stuff', different!
At the old lifeboat station at Penlee there is a memorial garden dedicated to the crew of the Penlee Lifeboat who lost their lives on a rescue on December 19th 1981. The new lifeboat station is in Newlyn.

The rain had started to come down a bit harder so we returned to the car to have a drive back through Penzance, somewhere else I hadn't been before.
We certainly can't complain about the small amount of rain we've had today, we've been really really lucky with the weather all week and for April it's been amazing.
