July 2 - King Arthur

Today we travelled from Bude in north Cornwall to my friend's place in Helston, via Tintagel. It was raining, so we didn't go across to the site because the paths were grassy and wet and neither of us fancied getting a broken ankle or worse!

On the walk to the castle we popped into the Old Post Office, a really ancient building with tiny rooms (and must have been occupied by very short people) and I found a lovely little book of stories about the Tintagel Dragon. That will be in the ever-growing parcel that will be mailed home before I leave the UK.








Then we saw some drystone walls - so precisely laid I just had to take a couple of photos.









Then we got to the castle. Not really much to see any more, but that's another tick on the bucket list!
