The Wild Charlock is popping up everywhere - but I thought it would brighten up the shot
Wild Thyme (I think) out on Maen-dhu Point
Almost high tide again - this time with some little waves rolling in.
In the garden the Hydrangeas are starting to flower
and the hardy Fuschias are starting to look good
Oh my goodness you can see how much the waves have eaten the cliffs. 5 weeks to go.
ReplyDelete5 weeks ! that long ! First sighting of the cliffs can be a bit of a shock for people who haven't seen any photos since the storms. Although the sand level is still way down on the last few years there is plenty there. Spring tides at the moment are bringing the water close to the cliff bottom, but fortunately the weather has been calm in our part of the bay. Won't be long until you start that long long drive. Noticed that the young gulls are walking about on the roof down at Withey Cottages - not sure if they've fledged yet. Sue
DeleteSue, I despair when I looked back over your posts since we left Cornwall on Thursday morning. Arriving home late last night in the dark, we were greeted this morning with a brown and dried up garden and veggie plots which will need a lot of work to replace. I so enjoyed the green and wealth of flowers while we were there, and my clematis is a joke compared to the vines on the cottages in your photo. Even Brooklyn where we stopped to see my daughter had beautiful healthy plants growing in window boxes and front yards. Too much sun and no rain isn't all it is cracked up to be!
ReplyDeleteEverything does seem very lush so far this Summer - sadly that includes the footpaths as well !
DeleteSo pleased that you enjoyed your trip - seeing Cornwall in Summer, it was bound to make you really notice the huge difference in climates. Do hope you manage to revive your garden and veggie patch - and even have some rain ! Sue
