The first time I went to Cornwall many years ago I saw a bus that had the destination on the front as 'Mousehole'. I followed it to the small fishing village which I'd never heard of before. Mousehole (pronounced 'mow-zull') lives with the tragedy of the Penlee lifeboat disaster. All 8 man crew from Mousehole died attempting to rescue the crew of a small ship that had run aground one stormy winter night. The empty lifeboat building at Penlee Point (between Mousehole and Newlyn) remains as a memorial to the deceased crew. The modern much larger lifeboat is moored in Newlyn Harbour (check out the RNLI).
Wow thanks for sharing we had no idea! Mousehole was one of our favorite towns!
Sadly it was not a small ship but a small family boat. They had manged to get the mum and daughter off and the last broadcast from the lifeboat was so calm and they simple said yep just gonna circle back pick up the dad. Sadly All would perish and were lost to the see. Even more haunting was I believe it was only the young girl who washed ashore. Watching any video on the Penlee life boat disaster is heartbreaking. All the crew were volunteers who gave thier lives on that dreadfully night. The coastline of Cornwall is beutiful but going back centuries there are 100s and 100s of wrecks of these tranquill but treacherous shores
@@Kernow80 Sorry I'm puzzled how you get this so wrong.
On the evening of 19 December 1981 the mini-bulk carrier 'Union Star' was on it's maiden voyage from Holland to Ireland with a cargo of fertiliser when during a violent storm it lost all engine power off the Cornish coast. Their last hope of rescue was by the Penlee lifeboat 'Solomon Browne'. The lifeboat was smashed on the rocks as was the 'Union Star'. The lifeboat's 8 man crew died as did the 5 man crew of the 'Union Star', the captain's wife and his two step-daughters. There's a BBC news report dated 25 November 2021 on the tragedy if you don't believe me.
@@chandlercronk The tragedy took place on December 19th 1981. I believe each year when the Christmas lights are put up on the streets and in the houses of Mousehole on the anniversary the lights are either dimmed or switched off that evening.
Fair enough I knew it was a family on board.
I live in Cornwall and Sennan cove is one of my fave spots. But you should see it in the winter storms. The waves are IMMENSE! Literally so high they can go over the top of the cliffs and the lifeboat base. Cornwall is a massive area, so much of it to see.. x
Wow that sounds crazy! Sennen Cove was definitely one of our favorites this trip😊
@@chandlercronk wish I could post a pic. HUGE waves 😊
Nice vlog. A great pity you came during the worst summer I can ever remember (I'm 64!). It's still cold, wet and windy now, in July!
@@lemming9984 thanks for watching! It felt like a quintessential trip to England!😂 Hopefully it clears up soon for you!
What a great trip !
So scenic and wonderful memories! Happy you got to see Erin too! ❤
The best!!❤️
Glad you enjoyed Cornwall. My wife and I have lived down here for five years now, in a small village by the sea. I wouldn't want to be anyhere else. 🙏🙏🥰🥰
@@marmadukewinterbotham2599 thanks so much for watching! We had the best time there!
I went to Cornwall as a teen, best pasty I’ve ever had, beautiful views, lovely people and shops. I want to retire there some day. Also I LOVE your cardigan with the huge flowers on 😊
@@sejbomb the pasties were INCREDIBLE!! And thanks I got it in St. Ives! 😊
Enjoyed that, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hi , thoroughly enjoyed your filming of Cornwall , it actually stirred up some happy memories of my childhood .we often went to Cornwall for summer holidays but I've not been back in a very long time , you captured it perfectly I will definately go back one day 😊.
@@claregale9011 I’m so happy to hear that! It truly was such a beautiful place, I’m so grateful to have seen it! 😊
This vlog was the perfect start to my morning. Cornwall suited you guys so well. You saw some great spots! Just subscribed, hi from Devon, UK 👋
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Happy to have you here 😊
Really cool vlog - as a Londoner who gets to Cornwall frequently I sometimes forget how lucky we are. Glad you enjoyed it - you’re lovely people.
@@geoff6195 Thanks so much for watching, we had a great time!!🥰
Great video! It is finally summer here, blue skies and 89.6 fahrenheit.. maybe you would have gone into the water if it had been warm?
Absolutely!! Sounds beautiful
Great video. Brought back memories of wet (but still lovely) holidays in Cornwall.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Loving the flat cap, I wear one too although I’m somewhat (vastly) older, it’s a good look and very traditional. Lovely video, very professionally put together too, I enjoyed it as I had my Sunday morning coffee and a bowl of porridge. Enjoy. Btw, the weather has been warm and sunny this week but it’s due to rain again later today 😂
Btw, the old car in Mouse hole you saw was a Morris 1000’s (‘Moggy’) a car built from the 1950’s to late 60’s or perhaps slightly later, they are so simple they last forever. That one looked restored, it was so good.
Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed! Very interesting about the car, thanks for sharing! 😊
Fun fact: St Michael's Mount was used as a filming location in House of the Dragon as the castle Driftmark
@@chrism7395 Omg we knew it! We were watching and thought it looked familiar!!
Awesome Channy!!
Thanks Dad!❤️
When you zoom in on the boats in newlyn mines there, looks like you had a great time, also st ives is my home town lived there my entire life, growing up there in the 80/90s was an amazing experience
@@SHADOWWESKER1 we loved St. Ives!! Growing up there sounds wonderful😊 Thanks for watching!
Hello yanks! Never been to St Ives per se, and I'm British. Thanks!
@@wdd910 Highly recommend it was so beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Your pronunciation of Penzance was pretty spot on...
Hahah thank you!!
You don’t pronounce the ‘r’ in croissant, it’s more like a quah sound.
♥
Although you tried to hide it, I know you were really on a pub crawl!
Lovely videos, split longer videos in segments it improves views xx❤❤
That’s pretty good videography. You’ve had some training? But not a research project obviously.
How long dod you guys stay in the uk
@@The_Rizz_Lord_ we were there for about 10 days!
It quite the cliche you've created!
BTW You visited England. The United Kingdom is a political entity, while England is a geographical location.
I would love to go to Cornwall someday..btw you have amazing hair
@@swgl2245 thanks so much! Definitely add Cornwall to your bucket list it was so beautiful!
Really enjoyable vlog, great positive energy...
Thank you so much for watching!
