Gate to Polperro

Gate to Polperro

Walking to Polperro along the coastline, thought this so pretty knowing when I passed through it I would be nearly there and see the sea!. Though I live in Australia now a big part of me remains in Cornwall where I dream of returning one day.

Polperro is a small fishing vilage in Cornwall, well, well worth a visit and the surrounding countryside & coastline.


Sit me up upon the gate and wait with me a while
I know the chores beckon you and the village is still more than a mile
But may I lay my hands upon your broad shoulders and gaze into your eyes
Tell me all the things that you think and there’ll be none of your lies
Let our hearts slow to one and the world fade away then the future will blend into ours
Then lift me down to stand in your arms and kiss me til there are no hours
And when your breath ceases and you dare to desire I shall escape away to my home
Knowing that all your love is mine true and never your eye will roam

    Ah the old 5 bar gate! I KNEW there was something I was missing about England! This must have been on that coastal footpath that stretches from Minehead all the way round the coast to Poole, right? Lovely shot with a tantalising glimpse of England’s green and pleasant land in the background. Hugs, Peter

  • Tainia Finlay replied

    It was a very English day Peter, soft rain at times making the greenery all the more poetic. It was about 2 miles from Polperro, I had just turned back a while before. Thank you for your kind comments, always appreciated. Hugs, Tai x
