The weather though cloudy was surprisingly mild for our walk from Lelant to St Ives. Our route took us along the coastal path with all the wonderful views of St Ives Bay up to Godrevy.

We had two pitstops – sitting outside for coffee with our doggy friends Ruby and Norman at Carbis Bay Hotel, and then lunch in St Ives. After a hearty bowl of soup we walked back to Lelant for a second helping of the views.

Christmas Lunch in St Ives

December 17, 2014November 28, 2015 crowlasludgvanwi

On Monday we celebrated Christmas in style with a wonderful lunch at the St Ives Harbour Hotel.

We all arrived by bus or train …

and made ourselves comfortable in the bar before lunch.

At lunch, the usual hilarity ensued and a happy and noisy time was had by all!

We’re very sorry for those of you who weren’t able to be there because of work commitments. But next year our Christmas meal will be in the evening, so you won’t miss out!

Click here to see more photos of our lunch. Thank you to Helen, Joy, Polly, Sue and Wendy for all the photos.

St. Ives Archive

I think we all enjoyed last night’s talk by Janet Axten about Tom Heron, Alec Walker and Crysede. For those of you who’d like to learn a little more, do consider a visit to the St. Ives Archive office. They’ve got a big binder full of Crysede-related photos, old newspaper advertising, etc. It’s fascinating stuff!

The Archive is located upstairs above the Parish Rooms behind the War Memorial Gardens just opposite the church, and is open from 10am-4pm, Tuesday through Friday. It’s got lots of information for anyone doing genealogical research or just for people interested in local history and has a massive collection of lovely old photos of St. Ives.
