Day 4- Saturday-Fowey

The forecast was strengthening winds from the west and rain in the afternoon. I decided to take a break and stay for the day. It was a good decision. First off i went to shower at The Galley. When you are tired and feeling scruffy there seems no better value for money than  £1for a 6 minute shower!

On the water there was a club yacht race with the square rigger as a back drop. It made a good picture. i sat in the yacht club later doing this blog and listening to the tales on someone hitting the rocks today. There was no damage, but a scarier storey was an earlier race where someone's spinnaker had jammed and the the dinghy plowed under water like a submarine!



There was a great art exhibition in St. Fimbarrus Church. It is a fantastically light church and was great to see it being used this way.
There was a picture of six bell ringers on the church wall dated 1732. It had a rhyme under it which includes:-
"Good is our Life fuch Ufage let us have",, which is eyebrow raising until you remember that an "f" was an "s" in ye old days!

I liked the way the reflections in the glass showed the church windows to create some great abstract       combined images.                                                                                                                                 
 
                                                                                                                          




                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Outside there was a typical English scene, with people watching under umbrellas in the rain as a band from Wales performed.
                                                                                                                         
I was very taken with a poster on a notice board i wasn't sure what sort of service Steve was offering or why he'd ended up on television!!
