This year I ran two holidays in Cornwall during the summer. 
Our accommodation was with Cape Cornwall Golf and Country Club in St Just,
between Lands End and St Ives.
I chose this area of Cornwall for its variety of landscape - the rugged beauty of the moorland, tin mines and dramatic cliffs of the coastline, St Michaels Mount and magnificent Mounts Bay, secret valleys and coves, huge sandy beaches like Sennen, historic harbours such as Mousehole, picturesque villages, National Trust gardens, and artists colonies St Just and St Ives with their many galleries large and small.

We had very good weather and thoroughly enjoyed painting this wonderful part of England.
Accommodation at the Club, pictured below, was basically good, the staff friendly and helpful and the food was marvellous! 

We visited Priest Cove, St Just, St Ives, Marazion and St Michael's Mount, Mousehole, Zennor, Sennen, the Minnack Theatre and Porthcurno, Lamorna, Trengwainton Gardens, Cot Valley and Bollowall Bronze Age Burial Mound. 

My students were Mrs Mimi Ley, Mrs Zoe Pearce, Mrs Jean Ball, Mrs Kath Hobbs, Mrs Cath Craigan, Mrs Freda Cribbs, Mrs Nicola Andrews, Mrs Heather Engel and daughter Lynette, and Mr Adrian Thomas. 
Below are some photos from the holidays.
