lighthouse | glass jars & photographs

I recently spent a weekend in Mevagissey, Cornwall. I fell in love with the town when I was 16, but haven’t been back for a long time. I’ve been working really hard these last few months though, and got to the point where I just needed a break.

Mevagissey was the perfect location – it’s small enough to feel quiet and “away from it all”, yet it has a kind of vibrancy, a buzz of life and activity that meant I didn’t feel isolated or bored.

I didn’t take my posh camera, because I didn’t want to feel pressured to “achieve” something by taking photos (I’m an achievement junky – I find it hard to just stop and enjoy), but I did have my little Canon compact, so I could take a few snaps if the mood took me.

I’m actually quite pleased with the results – we had some gorgeous weather – so I thought that, as I haven’t shared any of pics for a while, I’d upload a few of the best ones.
