Friday

 

Not a bad morning, but still rather chilly for May

Tanker Paul E out in the bay came in from Antwerp and left later on - heading back to Antwerp

THV Galatea still at anchor off Newlyn

Scillonian III backing out and Mermaid just coming out of Penzance Harbour

Passing Jubilee Pool

SCIII looking small as she passes Galatea

Nice beach

So good to have a clear morning for a change

Galatea handling the Mountamopus (Mopus) flashing Buoy

Afternoon walkies under rather more cloud

Still rather chilly

Swallows were zooming around again

Swallow watch again

Dear little Rosie arrived at the gate - she has been at Trebarvah on holiday 

Really very sweet

Maisie seemed to really like her

Thursday

 

Lots of rain around this morning with sunny spells

Dog walk was rather late as the rain was slow to clear

Still very windy with Woosters ears flapping around

Got left behind again!

A real surprise this afternoon when the huge HMS Queen Elizabeth appeared and came quite close into the bay - I've put our photos of her at the bottom of the normal daily ones

Trinity House Vessel Galatea at anchor in Gwavas Lake

HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) 

Noticed something very large out in the rain and realised it was definitely one of the carriers. Since HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) had been around Plymouth yesterday I assumed it was her.

Sadly the terrible conditions made getting photos difficult - kept pouring with rain 

We then realised that she was coming much closer

Yet more rain as she went around in a circle

Eventually she turned and headed out

Her course this afternoon - a real treat as I was saying the other day that we are not seeing anything interesting coming into the bay.
