Monday

 

Another hot and very windy night and still really windy this morning

Still just about standing up and flowering - Jim saw a Hummingbird Hawk moth on it today

Plenty of wind for this trip as she heads off into the white caps

Merlin HM2 - Crows Nest

Half the lawn was growing and getting long - the rest get's more sun and is too dry to mow. I decided it needed mowing and it didn't take long

Sadly very hazy conditions as I spotted the new Isles of Scilly Goods Vessel Menawethan heading out on her first proper delivery trip to Scilly

Jim's camera let him down, but you can just about make out a Hummingbird Hawk Moth enjoying the Valerian

Heard a loud rumbling that we've been hearing a lot of since Mr Trump went to war - KC-135 Strato tanker - first one I've managed to get a photo of

Maisie wearing a nice cool neckerchief as it was still rather hot and the wind had dropped a lot.

Sunday

 

Maisie is sure that someone is living in this part of the wall

Very different morning - with wind gusting around 50mph

There was some rain around but it missed us - Maisie heard a couple of rumbles of thunder

Off she goes through the white caps - but the wind was Easterly so must have been lumpier on the way back

Wind had gone back up again as we set off on our dog walk

Ragwort everywhere at the moment

Still 25c on the balcony despite the wind still gusting around 50mph at 9pm

Saturday

 

Hot right from the start - no wind early on

Plenty arriving on the beach

Seeded double Poppy on the field

Off she goes again

I think I'm right in saying that this is the start of a fishing competition - everyone heading East

Delphine with her Rotary Sails heading for Dublin

Majestic Princess now on her way to Cork after spending the day anchored in the entrance to the Carrick Roads opposite Pendennis Castle.

Sorry but the heat is really energy sapping, so no afternoon/evening walkies as it's still 27.5c at 9.20pm
