A prompt start for a lengthy trip out West to Marazion, down towards the farthest corner of the United Kingdom.

After parking in the long stay car park and successfully talked my way past the National Trust St Michael’s Mount ticket collectors having not yet received my National Trust membership card, we joined the line of people walking across the causeway to the busy attraction.

A trip the Emily Hobhouse museum at St Ive (Liskeard) in Cornwall was a thought provoking experience, based about the life of Emily Hobhouse at the turn of the 20th century and the second Boer war in South Africa.

The experience consisted of a carefully time choreographed walk around ’the War Room’, wearing a headset which detailed the story of the war, and included a virtual reality session set in the harsh environment of a British concentration camp for all the women and children which were captured following the hard battle with the Boers.
