Saturday

 

General Cargo vessel Ems Lyra arriving in the bay from Avonmouth to await orders

Fine morning, but a little cooler

Afternoon walkies after yet another day of hard work - Jim finished mowing the field and I tidied up the drive. 

Lots more cloud this afternoon

Quite a mixture of high cloud

Field looking good - for just a little while!

RoRo Cargo vessel Delphine on her way to Dublin with her Rotary sails shining in the sun

Friday

 

Cloudy first thing

Jim asked the Council strimming team why they had not strimmed through the spoil heap as it's really grown since they did it before - they said that area is only a "once a year" on their instructions - pity, as there's lots of spikey and sharp bits there already. They did actually come and strim along our part of the path - which didn't need doing and happily strimmed a couple of young Echiums Hmm!

One of the upgraded King air Avengers now flying from RNAS Culdrose

Surf School were in today.  We both got on with our jobs - Jim mended the fence and then set about mowing the field where the dreaded Spotted Medic was growing fast. I got on with the gardening - well at least tidying it up as best I can!

Later on SCIII returning from Scilly on her early Friday schedule

More than half the field done - all 4 of the big batteries used. It had got really rather hot again so we just went to the field

Not sure what Maisie has spotted

Really very pleasant out there

Thursday

 

Damp and misty morning

Still worth checking for Swallows!

The sunshine has really brought on the Honeysuckle flowers

The mist cleared and we had some blue sky at around lunchtime

Mermaid with a good number of passengers

They met up with their sister boat Vanessa Jane

Belasitza leaving the bay after quite a long stay - she's off to Skagen, Denmark

Quite nice conditions this afternoon - not too hot and a nice little breeze

Crow versus Buzzard as usual

Wooster still finding it hot

Spotted this in the middle of a Holly bush in the garden

I'm pleased to say it's the Perennial Foxglove I planted last year - will clamber in there with secateurs and clear the Holly away tomorrow

Scillonian III arriving back from Scilly - was travelling at over 16 knots - fast trip!
