Tuesday

 

Not too bad first thing

Now two Arklows, Arklow Cove and Arklow View

Light mizzle shower approaching

Field looks rather brown now it's got a bit damp

Eucomis or Pineapple flowers are out, but have mainly keeled over

Afternoon walkies

Sadly the walk was cut short by Maisie who spotted this kite and was promptly in a state of panic - we're not sure if she was hunted by a large bird of prey on Santorini but she was really scared - she always barks at them when she sees one down on the beach

We met the lovely Diesel who is the latest Pub dog at The Victoria. 

He came into the field for a run around

Fun and games

Arlow View leaving the bay - destination unknown

Monday

 

Grey and slightly damp morning as Jim set off

Got a little wetter while they were out and it went on for a while

Brightened up a bit later on

Afternoon walkies past the newly planted Cauliflowers

Maisie & Kobi

and a new friend

Penlee Lifeboat heading towards The Mount

The long walk back to the "mainland"

SS118 Crystal Sea waiting for the tide

The lovely Bel Espoir 2 leaving her anchorage off Mousehole

Boat Cove Trenow

The view from Men du Point

Looking back to the beach

Someone at the gate !

SCIII returning to Penzance

Had a shock early this evening when this RAF Airbus A400M came zooming along the coast at a very low altitude

Carried on past Lamorna and out of sight

Sunday

 

Nice clear morning

Some licks for Maisie from Tess

Arklow View

Still a few Valerian flowers worth visiting for the Hummingbird Hawkmoth

Afternoon walkies with a little more cloud overhead

Not as busy in the water

Noticed a Dragonfly top left - don't see them very often

One or two Swallows around

We had a visit from this Leucistic Magpie - have seen it around since it fledged but not managed a photo before

Still super clear this evening with Majestic Princess on her way from Portland to Cobh
