Beautiful Fowey

A very nice day in Fowey today. A bit grey, but mainly dry.

Coffee first at the Fowey Hall Hotel. The Fowey Hall is a rather splendid country-house style hotel with comfortable lounges and real log fires. Despite the sumptuous surroundings, coffee was actually pretty good value at £5.00 for the two of us including home made biccies, and there were plenty of papers to read too!

After coffee we parked in the car park at Readymoney Beach (an odd name for a beach!) and enjoyed a very pleasant stroll into the delightful estuary town of Fowey. Lunch at the Ship Inn (delicious homemade soup, sandwich and a sinful portion of chips). The RFA (Royal Fleet Auxilairy) ship Sir Bedivere was in port for her last visit to her "adopted" port of Fowey before retirement from the RFA in the next few days. Tenders were laid on for a trip to the ship, where we enjoyed a fascinating tour of this well-travelled vessel.
