Saturday

 

Hot right from the start - no wind early on

Plenty arriving on the beach

Seeded double Poppy on the field

Off she goes again

I think I'm right in saying that this is the start of a fishing competition - everyone heading East

Delphine with her Rotary Sails heading for Dublin

Majestic Princess now on her way to Cork after spending the day anchored in the entrance to the Carrick Roads opposite Pendennis Castle.

Sorry but the heat is really energy sapping, so no afternoon/evening walkies as it's still 27.5c at 9.20pm

Friday

 

Another hot morning

Another wonderful trip for the passengers

Evening walkies! Jim decided to take Maisie out after dinner - although it was still 30c on the balcony. People still in the sea

Plenty of beach

9pm and temperature outside on the balcony has dropped to 27.5c

Thursday

 

Blue sky and blue sea morning

Viking Sentinel still there this morning, but left later on patrol

Out she comes

Field seems to be so dry it has stopped growing

PZ35 Our Karenza 

Dassault Falcon was doing circuits to RNAS Culdrose

Afternoon walkies as there was a slightly cooling breeze

Not many left on the beach

Wednesday

 

Viking Sentinel Fisheries Patrol vessel 

We decided to do a longer morning walk before the heat built up

Up the hill to Trebarvah and over the old farm yard

No cattle on the field - I'm pleased to say

Through the Beare's Den Camp Site

This used to be a very productive field - now sown with Alfalfa and Clover

Alfalfa

Lovely clover

Patches of Bird's foot Trefoil

Acton Castle

We walked along the track that has now turned into a footpath as it looks like the tractors don't go down there now

Looking back towards Perranuthnoe

This part of the footpath was rather overgrown

Vetch

Gatekeeper

Suddenly there was some crashing around in the grass and we were greeted by two Lovely Pointers

Both rescues from Turkey & Greece(I think)

Maisie looking rather hot

Nice Chicory plant

Almost back in Penzance after the ceremony of naming and christening of the new goods vessel Menawethan over on Scilly today
