This is most peculiar. On September 11th this year I visited Boscastle in Cornwall for the first time in eleven years. Today I returned to Boscastle, with Julie this time, just 13 days later. The top image is from an even earlier visit, 10th May 2010. The one below from today. What is remarkable is that the rocks around me in 2010 are identical to 2024. Now if course you'd expect that in geological terms but with all those tourists milling about up there and windy eroding weather you'd expect some change in 14 years. However apart from the change in coat colour and hat, everything looks the same, even the vegetation.
Sadly the improving weather forecast didn't materialise and it remained cloudy for most of the day, except that is when we popped in the Riverside at 3.30pm for a late lunch. While we were in there the sun shone down. After Julie had enjoyed her fish finger sandwich we headed back up the hill to the viewpoint. By the time we'd reached the top the sun had disappeared to be replaced by cloud.
Whatever the weather though, being at Boscastle is perfect.
