Tuesday

 

At 11am Family and friends of much loved village resident David (Dave) Sharp gathered in the Church for his funeral. There can't be many properties in the village that Dave hadn't worked on or in at some time. Always keen and helpful. He was the Quiz Master at the Victoria Quiz and coached the bell ringers who did a great job today. He went up to the top of the Church Tower to raise whichever flag was appropriate for the day. The Church was packed and it it was a beautiful service.

Tuesday

 

Another beautiful morning and not quite as cold as yesterday

SCIII passing two of the  Arklows

I got a telling off from Jim for missing a very dramatic  and close flypast by this helicopter - sadly I was busy and the camera was slow switching on

Afternoon walkies

Wooster was thrilled as he'd found a ball

He got rather hot dashing around after it

Monday

 

Cold start to the day - felt warmer in the sun

MSC Preziosa on it's way to anchor in Falmouth Bay

Beautiful blue sky

Now up to three Arklows at anchor

Lovely clear day

Closer view of MSC Preziosa she's now on her way to Hamburg

Wrap up warm and it must have been a super trip to Scilly

We decided to prune the Hydrangeas - sadly they grow far too tall to just dead head them as we want some light in the hall and kitchen

Coastguard KingAir was doing circles over Mount's Bay

Super day for a walk on the big beach

Jim spotted this Banded Demoiselle (I think) on the Hebes above the footpath

Beautiful!

Afternoon walkies - just Jim & dogs as I was waiting for a delivery - which still hasn't arrived at 9-40pm - looks like he's got as far as Trebarvah

Still wonderfully clear

Great to see the Lugger Barnabus 

SCIII back in the bay

Looks like a Pilot Cutter - might be Tallulah
