Friday 26th June

 

Maisie looking happy as she carried her ducky toy along the Riverside, but unfortunately she had got tummy troubles and stopped eating. In the end we decided to come home on Thursday so that she could see the Vet. She's got anti-biotics and painkillers but still not eating - lunchtime Friday and I offered her some warm Cocktail sausages and hey presto!

Cooler and misty morning

Rather more waves as well

Penlee Lifeboat heading back to base

Buzzard hunting over the fields

Lots of Painted Lady butterflies this year

So many different types of grasses

Giant Thistle

Poor thing just grew too big and the wind knocked it over

Such a pity

Keeping watch for Swallows - pleased to report that later she ate a proper dinner of chicken/sausages and dried kibble

Tuesday

 

Foggy and damp morning - but obviously a good day for cutting more Caulis

Really was miserable

We got on with our holiday preparations and trying to do 2 things at the same time - suddenly we realised that Maisie had found the door onto the garage ramp open and gone exploring - she really doesn't know the area up the drive well - so lots of whistling and calling - helped by our kind neighbours Mark & Theresa - suddenly Theresa spotted her trying to get back in the same door - think she had been visiting the neighbours above us - I had taken the Tracker off to re-charge it Hmm! Really didn't need  the stress! Many thanks to other neighbours offering to help !

After a period of rain it dried up and I was able to load the car. 

Visibility did not improve during the day

Back to a normal walk

Honeysuckle still looking good

Well - that's me signing off for a week or two - really need a holiday and my laptop isn't great these days! House sitters are arriving tomorrow - hope the weather improves for them as well as us!

Monday

 

Rather grey and damp this morning

EMS Cape still at anchor

SCIII Passing Mousehole

Jim giving the lawn a closer cut with my old G-Tec mower - hoping it looks good for our visitors/House-sitters

Sailing in company

Sunday

 

Fine again - but with more of a breeze

Busy out in the bay today

SS2 checking his pots

Mermaid with plenty of trippers on board

Big beach again today

Jim took Maisie for her walk

Samsa on the field with Sally and then since they were both heading in the same direction they went together

Everything looking very brown as it's all been ploughed

EMS Cape came into the bay from Avonmouth awaiting orders

Back to the village via Boat Cove Lane

Taking a day off!
