Busy!

The local news says that the number of visitors in Cornwall at the current time is 25% down on what it was this time last year.  I think they are wrong!  It's not even the school holidays yet, but everywhere seems VERY busy with holidaymakers.

Normally on a Sunday morning even n August, if I get to Charlestown before 10.30 when shops open, it is quiet.  Today I got there at 9.30 and it was SO CROWDED!  I couldn't even get the shots I wanted of these  harbour wall jumpers because people kept walking in front of me.  (The jumper on the left actually looks like she is walking on water as she went in at a 'standing up' angle). There were swimmers. paddle boarders, and small boats in the sea, and dog walkers and sightseers everywhere else.  It was difficult to park and many cars were cruising up and down the road looking for spaces.

I preferred it when it was quiet!
