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!

Saturday

 

Much better morning - warm and plenty of blue sky

General Cargo vessel Indi came in from Newport to await orders

Jim has managed to make little Geordie look like a giant

The Flag flying over the Church tower for the King's official birthday 

Nice big beach early on

Jim made the mistake of sitting on the poor old seat

Great day for a trip to Scilly

The Bon Accord - fishing - but for what? It goes across the bay and back again over & over again every day!

Lovely looking boat - sadly no name

Maisie suddenly decided to try for a better view

Flag still not co-operating

A couple of lovely double Poppies in the bonfire area

Joyful Hello for Nic and Alan

Rather a hot dog - with tongue lolling out of the side of her mouth

Friday

      

Another damp & misty morning

The mist moved around - one second I could see Mousehole - then it was gone

We drove through Helston to have lunch with Jim's sister at The Halzephron Inn at Gunwalloe - second time we've been in the last few months and same weather

We walked down towards the Cove - looking along the coast to Loe Bar and Porthleven

After a lovely lunch we headed back towards home - sadly that's where it all went wrong. Accident outside RNAS Culdrose - we sat in crawling traffic for around an hour and eventually realised that the only reason that we were moving was that so many were turning around. 

In the end we did the same and went along the road towards Gweek - which got very narrow and by now there were many vehicles trying to travel in the other direction to avoid the total blockage. It was havoc with many drivers completely unable to reverse - or too scared to squeeze through - it was a total nightmare. I gather the roads all around Helston were jammed - we eventually got home at around 5pm having left the Inn at 2pm.We were exhausted after all the stress which wasn't helped by Maisie setting off the rear seat belt alarm - naughty me had not thought to clip it in as the sensor knew she was there! Won't make that mistake again!
