My camera and I spent Christmas 2021 with friends in a couple of old railway carriages that were positioned just outside the railway station in Hayle, Cornwall. We had a great time, even though the accommodation was a little cramped!
View of Harvey in the early evening with a row of fairy lights along the fence
Corridor inside the carriages, with compartments on the left
Living room/bedroom - not a lot of space, but enough! This is a photograph of it before it got turned into a bedroom
One of the two kitchens in the carriages
St. Michael's Mount just after the rain had stopped on Christmas Eve
Swallow in the car park at Marazion - I was surprised to see one at that time of the year!
View of the beach from the cliffs just outside Hayle
Wild Dartmoor pony on the cliffs at the Towans just outside Hayle
Two more beautiful white wild ponies

Herring Gulls on St. Ives beach while we waited for our taxi to arrive for our journey back to Hayle
It was a very enjoyable visit to Cornwall - made even more so by our unusual, and very warm, railway accommodation.
