How this place changed my life
it’s just an amazing place. It was sunny the whole time when i went, not one day of rain! The people you meet there are friends worth keeping, amazing people. It’s such a lovely community. Me and my sister started a fire on the beach one night, and its like moths to a flame, soon enough there were 20 or so people around the fire just talking and having a really good time…some of them didn’t evenn live in st ives.
seriously there is so much to do and see in that little place.
ive made friends for life.

The last time I went to this place
St Ives is magical! Even on a wet, windy day it is a treat. Go to the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and eat fish and chips on the beach, bliss.

Introduction to St. Ives
November 20, 2006
This north-coast fishing village, with its sandy beaches, narrow streets, and well-kept cottages, is England's most famous artists' colony. The artists settled in many years ago and have integrated with the fishermen and their families. They've been here long enough to have developed several schools or "splits," and they almost never overlap -- except in the pubs. The old battle continues between the followers of the representational and the devotees of the abstract in art, with each group recruiting young artists all the time. In addition, potters, weavers, and other craftspeople all work, exhibit, and sell in this area. St. Ives becomes virtually impossible to visit in August, when you're likely to be trampled underfoot by busloads of tourists, mostly the English themselves. However, in spring and early fall the pace is much more relaxed.
