Today as we enjoyed walking along the beaches we came across these messages in a bottle. They had been left on the wall at Swanpool Beach. There was no-one around and we waited for a long while to see if anyone came for them but no-one did. On closer inspection it was clear that the bottle had not been washed up or even spent any time in the water. This is rather a mystery why would someone go to all this trouble only to leave without actually sending the bottle to sea? It was also so very tempting to open the beautifully sealed bottle to read what had been written on the letters but we didn’t. For now it remains a mystery and the bottle has been put in safe keeping in case someone steps forward to claim it. With the local Facebook community already kindly spreading this image to try and locate the owner the bottle has already begun a journey around the globe without touching a drop of water! Who knows the creators intention all we know it is a beautiful thing to share.
Where will it arrive next?
So after the bottles’ visit to Falmouth where will it arrive next? What do you think the messages say? What do you think should happen to the real bottle? Keep us posted and tell us if you see the bottle pass your way 
I am hoping that when opened it will reveal Johnny Depp’s mobile number, or be a guaranteed successful treasure map. Sec0nd thoughts – the treasure will do! Another nice enclosure would be a self-destruct code for Premier Inn, but that’s hoping for too much probably.
Ha ha ha not quite as Romantic as Jayne was hoping!
Oooh it’s so romantic……. sigh…….
I know. Do you think it is a long lost love? An extravagant marriage proposal? Or Pete’s latest Ice-cream menu?
Haha. What a lovely story Pip. First time I am visiting your blog. It’s looking good.
I haven’t been to Falmouth for years (since I left college). But if I could wish for it to say anything at all, then it would be a “how and when can I return to the lovely town and view it with my family?”…
What a lovely comment Winnie
It is a lovely town and once you have come under its spell, that’s it, you are captivated forever. I am sure one day you and your family will come back. Just remember to let us know when you want to come back and we will make sure the Pasties are hot and the kettle is on 
Thank you so much Pip. I sure will, that is a deal!
We can eat Cornish pasties and afterwards exercise it all of climbing Jacob’s Ladder… oooh it’ll be lots of fun 
There’s a plan
Pingback: Message in a bottle found on Swanpool Beach in Falmouth | Cornwall News
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a gift from Johnny Depp, merely a group of girls – Mo Fox, Grace Perryman, Rhiannon Wardle, Chime Rainbow and myself – trying to create some excitement! I guess we got it – we’re awfully flattered with all the interest our little experiment has gotten. We created the message in a bottle (writing a bit about ourselves for somebody to find) in February half term as a fun activity and it looks as though it was found just a day later. It’s a shame the bottle didn’t get very far (not across the Atlantic as we’d dreamt!) but yes, we did put it in the water!
Yesterday Mo read one of the articles about this and we were in such shock. Although it was too late for us to affect the outcome we thought we’d clear things up for you. We’re glad that you’ve thrown it back in the water because now it will remain a mystery and hopefully it’ll have the journey we hoped for.
