Get the Doc quick! Guess who was filming in Port Isaac
The morning began at Mount Saint Micheal, with a ferry ride over in the mist. Got there nice and early before the crowds and made like a mountain goat up the mountain. Its not for the faint hearted, but very impressive. Stopped in at Padstow and Fowey, the most gorgeous port towns, before heading to Doc Martin country at Port Isaac. Was lucky enough to be there on a filming day and saw sights and stars. Tried a traditional Cornish pastie and a crab sandwich, considering buying larger pants, soon!. Came back to Exeter and went gargolye spotting at the cathedral. No shiela-na-gigs but plenty of greenmen, grotesques and dragons. The stonework is amazing and I could spend hours searching them out. Exeter is a suprisingly arts focused city, with great outdoor dining and entertainment areas, and lots of free performances. You could spend weeks just in Cornwall, and it seems most Brits feel the same (incredible number of local tourists in this region). Lovely, lovely, lovely! Back to London tonight... still freezing! xx B
