Thursday

 

Lots of rain around this morning with sunny spells

Dog walk was rather late as the rain was slow to clear

Still very windy with Woosters ears flapping around

Got left behind again!

A real surprise this afternoon when the huge HMS Queen Elizabeth appeared and came quite close into the bay - I've put our photos of her at the bottom of the normal daily ones

HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) 

Noticed something very large out in the rain and realised it was definitely one of the carriers. Since HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) had been around Plymouth yesterday I assumed it was her.

Sadly the terrible conditions made getting photos difficult - kept pouring with rain 

We then realised that she was coming much closer

Yet more rain as she went around in a circle

Eventually she turned and headed out

Her course this afternoon - a real treat as I was saying the other day that we are not seeing anything interesting coming into the bay.

Wednesday

 

Very windy and some rain approaching

Wooster always perks up when he sees girlfriends

Milly coming to say hello

Two old-uns together

Afternoon walkies and the wind had dropped a little and gone round to the West

Arklow Villa - now left the bay for Montoir

Tuesday

 

Blue sky and lots of high cloud

Lovely blue sea

Mermaid off Men du Point

Pretty Goldfinch in the Pine tree

Afternoon walkies

A second boat Arklow Coast has arrived in the bay

Wind was really cold up there

Little Trixie 

We were chatting and Wooster thought it was time to go!

Di and Lottie at the field gate

Jim managed to finish the mowing today - such a pity that in a few days it will look untidy again as everything is growing so fast

Our Chusan Palm is flowering
