Day 6

The tour.

Today was the first day that they said there was going to be rain so my darling wife arranged for both of us to tour the St Austell brewery. I do like my ale and was really pleased to be going on it.

Well i have to say, compared to a few that i have been on, this is by far the best tour of them all (with the exception of the tasting at the schnapps factory in Germany, you could never beat that). Anne was our guide and there wasn't any thing she didn't know about the brewery. Then came the tasting, yummy, i won't bore you with the details but if you like your ale, or even that girly larger stuff as they make that too, you MUST pay a visit.

But the funniest part of the day was that we got on the wrong bus to go back to Mevagissey. Well saying that, we got on the right number (525, same as we caught in the morning) but no one told us there are 2 different 525's. How dull is that, surely they should have a different number if they go 2 different directions and don't cover all the stops, anyway we finally made it back after a very long detour.

The image today is of a girl (obviously) who just looked lonely sat on the train platform all by herself. I do worry for teenagers like that in this day and age.
