St Ives

 

Another one added to the list.

They say that people make places

but they are incorrect and extrovert.

It is the lack of people that makes a place for an introvert.

Glastonbury, Camden, Lindisfarne, St Ives

All without humans? Now you’re talking.

It was the dogs that floored me.

As a cat man I froze in terror at the hounds on leads,

leading their panting owners to cool (as in not very warm) pasties.

St Ives is another Betws-y-Coed

Lovely, till word gets about, and then you can’t move.

The Gods of the Parking Meter can charge what they like

and they do!

Narrow lanes, Babies in Papooses, Art Galleries

and this was very out of season.

UK Tourism PLC is open for business all year round now.

I was tempted to nick a bucket and spade 

that had been left outside an Air bnb

but making a castle in the winter on a windswept beach can only mean one thing,

that you’re having a nervous breakdown

with your tears making the moat to meet with salty sea.

Somebody would photograph me and put me in the Tate

and then another someone would pay big money

and hang me on their wall.
