St Mawes and Truro

We had a couple of hours in St Mawes, on the tip of the picturesque Roseland peninsular. Quite a nice place, with expensive properties but not much to see or do unless you want to take a boat trip. We just walked along the marine parade, had a coffee and a bit of food shopping.
Then we took the King Harry chain ferry across the Fal to Truro, it's 5 minutes for £6 but saves a 20mile drive. We stopped briefly at Tresillick House in the NT car park to make some sandwiches for lunch.
Parking in Truro was surprisingly easy close to Lemon Quay where the Cornish food festival was set up in a marquee. Not much to see or sample except cheese and sausage. M&S was just across the road so I used a free coffee voucher while Rosemary shopped.
We are booked in for two days at Merrose Farm CC site for two nights, not far from the previous nights Britstop. It's been sunny today but tomorrow is expected to be windy and wet.
