Wednesday

 

Sorry everyone, yet another day of gloomy photos  with mizzle and rain some of the time

Afternoon and there was rain all around and a small gap, so Jim kindly offered to take the dogs out as he's much quicker without me staggering along behind!!

Just like so much of the country walking is not easy or as enjoyable as it should be

Tuesday

 

Cold morning

Almost a glimpse of the sun

Ian and Tess again

There were quite a few surfers down first thing

A nice visit to the field

Later on I spotted the Penlee Lifeboat 17-36 speeding across the bay on it's way to Praa Sands where person in difficulty in water had been reported. 

Gather that they had been retrieved from the water by the time they got there - Coastguards, Coastguard helicopter and the Cornwall Air Ambulance were in attendance. 

Always a wonderful sight as it speeds across the bay

Sadly the expected rain arrived and and then lingered for the rest of the day and it's still raining now

Monday

 

Lots of shower clouds around this morning

Water still running down the hill after yet more overnight rain

I'm afraid my knees just couldn't face walking up the hill and clambering up the muddy steps again, so we set off in the other direction - heading into the village

Through the village and past the Church then down Boat Cove Lane. Walking straight into the gale force Westerly wind

Looks like the National Trust have planted little trees in this field on the other side of the lane

Harking back to the days when these were all flower fields

Boat Cove

Fair size waves breaking into Basore Point

Spotted "A host of Golden Daffodils" in Churchtown

Nice Camellias as well

Off she goes 

Sea still splashing up onto Cudden Point
