Thursday

 

Early start to get breakfast before the power went off - pleased to see this stunning sunrise

Morning walkies

Sea was very noisy as the swell from a French named storm had arrived overnight

Nose into the wind and ears back

I walked down the road to see how they were getting on 6 vans and lorries with cherry pickers

So complicated and am pleased they knew what they were doing

Around high tide and the swell was really crashing onto Cudden Point

Afternoon walkies and the sun was still shining

Still working, but almost finished

More clouds starting to appear

Little Geordie again

Our huge Canariensis Palm has reached to top of the roof, but looking rather windburned

Tess waiting for her ball

Neighbours Camellia

When we got home the power was back on 

Wednesday

 

A little blue sky first thing this morning

Sea rather noisy and splashy

The Buzzard family were around again

Fast getaway as always

Sadly as seems to be the norm at the moment, rain arrived this afternoon, so once again we found a gap and took the dogs to the field

Lovely hedge of Rosemary in full flower

This is the reason we are going to be without power all day tomorrow so that they can fix everything onto the huge new poles - by the way the Public Toilets are also closed until Saturday

I was waiting to walk past the reversing bus when suddenly another one arrived - you know the old saying about buses!

Tuesday

 

Mist and rain until late morning, then it cleared for a while so Jim took the dogs out - in case there was more rain this afternoon

They had a nice run on the field

As forecast the rain came sweeping across from the West and hung around until a short gap at around 3.30pm. We all dressed up as it was still a bit damp and mizzly

They had a good run around - three times

Spotted a bit of colour in the bonfire area and discovered this Common Borage - looking rather wet and sad

The Euphorbias are still doing well 

Always love these miniature Narcissi that suddenly appear on the front wall
