June News

The season advances and we come to the end of June with a week of sun, fog, sun, fog and now sun again.

Despite the odd morning of fog, St Just is warming up in many ways.

It is warm enough to sit outside the pub for a beer in the evening, but with a lovely breeze that means we rarely experience the intense heat that we used to living in the South East. The town is beginning to buzz with early season visitors and queues in the Co-op are getting longer with purchases of burgers for barbeques and beer to wash it all down.

There is a new gallery due to open in July next to the Cook Book in Cape Cornwall Street, you can now buy ice creams from the shop next to Just Fine Art and, after a short break, the Chinese takeway is back open again.

With Lafrowda just around the corner, the main festival day on 16th July, the programme is now on the website http://www.lafrowda-festival.co.uk/. After years of guests leaving and arriving on Saturdays, we have switched to Friday changovers so that we can enjoy the carnival day and relax like everyone else.

And finally the new leaflets that the Chamber of Commerce is producing to promote the traders and the accommodation in the area are due to arrive any minute and will hopefully encourage even more visitors to our lovely corner of Cornwall. The picture is taken at Cape Cornwall and has been used in one of the leaflets.

Mevagissey






A bit further than our normal travels, but we had a delivery to do in Mevagissey today to Avellana Crafts. Avellana stock our glass from The Glass House.


So while we were there, why not stop for a wander around the harbour and, of course, a pasty!


Simon ... a pasty ... and some lurking seagulls!

It was a slightly overcast day, but warm, and the rain held off until we were on the way back to St Just.

Cape Cornwall on a sunny June day




We are having such a crazy year, so busy, and the lovely weather (up until today, which is foul!) has really helped make life easier.

I have been putting together this year's guides for the local Chamber of Commerce - one containing details of where to stay in the area and one for the shops and traders - which are just about to go for print ready for the summer. Plus we have just set up our Chamber Facebook page which you can find by taking this link.

We did manage to get out last weekend with the camera as we needed to take some photos for the leaflets. Cape Cornwall was lovely ... that's me at the bottom of the hill with Molly while Simon stood at the top and watched.


Golowan in Penzance next weekend, then Lafrowda festivities on 15th & 16th July - looks like it is going to be a packed month of fun!
