In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

181/365 Flapping around in Mevagissey

June 30, 2013 By Ellen Leave a Comment

 

We missed Mevagissey Feast Week by a day, but it didn’t matter. Mevagissey proved to be a feast for the senses…

We tangled with pedestrians and traffic in the narrow streets for a few minutes before retreating to a car park to recover. On foot, our first port of call was the Mevagissey Museum – a fascinating clutter of old stuff. The Boys had fun hunting pirates and teddies hidden in the displays.

Then during lunch – an entirely forgettable meal at the Central Cafe – we were diverted from our average food by the sight of a woman steering an enormous bunch of helium balloons through the thin streets causing mayhem as she went.

At Mevagissey Aquarium we saw starfish digesting dead fish. Nice. And smelly.

The highlight though was the Model Railway Museum. At first glance the entrance, beyond a ‘world-famous’ coin-operated laundry, was not promising. However, as no one wanted to break ranks and suggest a Plan B we pressed on.

We were fascinated by the intricate layout of track and surrounding countryside complete with tiny people. By the time we left, two fifths of the party were making plans to put a floor in the attic so they could create their own model railway worlds.
