Wednesday

 

Wooster loves these two dogs

Such a little sweetie

The path is getting rather narrow as the Three Cornered Leeks fall over

After her adventure yesterday SCIII was a bit late starting off for Scilly - at least the wind was behind her on the way out

I got my little cordless chain-saw and cut up the fallen Cedar Tree branch and transported it down to Jim's bonfire area on the field

I then mowed the lawn to tidy it all up a bit

Afternoon walkies and the wind had dropped a little

Some high cloud to the West

This lovely Peacock Butterfly flew past me and then stopped on some Alexanders

Wooster was feeling perky and asked for his ball to be thrown, so he had a good time

Tuesday

 

Fine but breezy morning - but the wind continued to get much worse as the day went on

Early morning shadows making it tricky

Thought this might be Border Force - been around all day

One of the Aeoniums on the balcony has suddenly sent up a flower spike

The wind had really got up - Gwennap Head showed max. gust of 62mph but was 55-58 for most of the afternoon. It actually brought down our dangling branch that had been waving around since November

Afternoon walkies and Wooster demonstrating the size that the Alexanders have got to - they tend to fall over the paths and the lane

Walking down the hill with the very strong gale force wind trying to blow us over was really unpleasant

The wild water on the far side of Cudden Point

Vessel came a bit closer 

Scillonian III had a really bad trip back today - speed right down as she was sailing into the gale - which was much worse than forecast. Here she is arriving back in Penzance at 19.55pm

and going straight across to the Eastern Arm as the water was over-topping Albert Pier ( courtesy of webcams)

Landing craft Gugh left for Scilly, but turned around  and headed back into Pz. I watched through the 'scope as she turned around and she had white water splashing right over

Here is Gugh arriving back and heading straight into the Wet Dock

Monday

 

Fine morning with some high cloud

Breezy in places again

Scillonian III setting off a little early - due to tides - unfortunately she hadn't gone far before having to turn around ans returning to Penzance due to a medical emergency on board

Sand washing around the point due to the very high tide

Off she went again at around 11.30. She had to wait a while before docking on St Mary's as the tide was extremely low.

Release of 5 Seals on the beach

Do hope they all do well

Afternoon walkies and a meeting of some of the Perranuthnoe gang. Blossom and Charlie

Gorgeous girl

You can almost count the rivets

Nice sunny run on the field

The Forget me Nots doing really well
