Since my last visit there have been a few changes. First they have introduced guided tours to parts of the military installations that were previously closed to the public. Second, they now fire one of the guns every day at noon.

No place left to go

Nice start to the day again – visited Lizard Point, the most southerly point in England. While there spotted a Cough – the bird that appears on the Cornish coat of arms but until recently had disappeared from these shores.
