Looking over the water to Flushing, even the usually beautiful Trefusis has succumbed to the potato planters with their polythene !

  1. The last Flushing I went to Sue was in Brooklyn, New York, I can tell you it would never have been as quiet as here.
    IMO, I do think the polythene is an eyesore, but I suppose is needed.

  2. Heiko, there are two Flushing's quite close together down hereI got this from Wikipedia. Originally named Nankersey, meaning valley of the reed swamp, the village was given its name by Dutch engineers from Flushing in the Netherlands who built the three main quays in the village. The grand houses on St Peter's Hill, the road that leads into the village, were owned by captains of the packet ships (mail-boats) that docked in nearby Falmouth. The Spanish Armada intended to land here in their attack on England but they were not able to capture it.
    Henry VIII intended to build a castle on Trefusis Point, to accompany those built at Pendennis and St. Mawes, but due to the expensive wars was unable to finance it.
