Nothing to do with cruising, today I received in the post a complimentary hardback copy of this 224 page book, entitled "Extraordinary Villages" in the UK, written by Tony Francis, who has produced and presented more than 500 countryside and wildlife programmes for TV, published by Merlin Unwin books. He has also been a high profile sports presenter on ITV. The book was also personally signed by the author.

The reason I have been sent a complimentary copy, is because one of the villages he has written about is Mousehole in Cornwall, pronounced Mouzel and he has used one of my photo's to illustrate it in the book, for which I am highly chuffed. It has also given me something to read and view the other 177 photos, whilst I am temporary immobilised.
The picture is nothing special, here is a copy, but it looks much better in the book, it's just that out of probably thousands of photo's they could have used, they chose one of mine. Not the first time I have had a photo of mine used in this way, the first by this publisher.
Mousehole is the essence of Cornwall, the last fluent Cornish speaker is immortalised here.

Further photos I took of Mousehole can be viewed here,
