Cornwall, June 2007

A group of eleven College Classicists went to Cornwall for the first week of the vacation to read Ariosto’s ‘Orlando Furioso’. It was pretty wet weather for most of the week, but on the last day we took the opportunity to walk from Gorran Haven (where we were staying) to Mevagissey, and then later to sit on the beach.

Eating ice cream • Charlie, Prof. Leigh, Isobel, and Leah. We got very wet during the walk from Gorran Haven to Mevagissey; while we were having lunch, however, the sky cleared and the sun came out. After lunch we therefore took the opportunity to do a bit of drying-out.
