Sunday - Mousehole for Lifeboat Day and the blessing of the Lifeboats

 Beautiful Ketch Irene and Shearwater II heading out of the bay as we arrived

 Merlin providing a bed for a gull

I suppose that we're usually just trying to avoid the cars as we walk past The Ship Inn, but don't recall ever seeing this

 Amazing piece of history

Jim & the dogs waiting whilst I went onto the Quay to look at the stalls and displays (dogs not allowed)

 Starting to make a Crab Pot

 We then decided we ought to take the dogs for a walk as the Lifeboat display with the helicopter was now going to be at 1.30 which changed our plans.                                  

The Monbretia was looking beautiful alongside the path

 Looking along the footpath that heads out to Lamorna and beyond

 Mermaid II came past as we walked back in to Mousehole

 Tilly taking in the view as we head back towards Mousehole

 These inflatables seemed very popular

 This was really popular

 Almost low tide as we walked back through

 and out past the Rock Pool

 To the Rock Pool Cafe for lunch - as they had announced that the Lifeboat and Helicopter display would now be much earlier, we though it would be a good place to combine the two !

 Could see just one seal basking on the rocks - had a feeling it wouldn't be there long when the display started

 Jim's Crab sandwiches

 My Smoked Salmon & mayonaise toasted bagels

 Jim spotted these and ordered them for our sweet - really yummy, but very naughty !

 and Wooster and Tilly were impressed with their treats

 The crowd on the quay were waiting for the display

They arrived and waited for the helicopter
