Monday - Newlyn Fish Festival

 Earlier than usual morning walkies on another glorious day

More Swallows arriving ready for the long slight South

 Lovely calm sea

 As we parked the car at Wherry Town spotted the gig Brisons  on it's way to the Fish Festival - as well as the soon to be opened new Lidl store

 Fishermen's Memorial known as Tom keeping an eye on the proceedings

 High tide

The dog creche at the Festival 

Calm harbour 

Nice reflections of the Liferafts ready for the race 

The amazing fish display 

Monk Fish 

Assume that this is a monster Ray of some sort

Jim came home with one of these Lobsters 

 Stormy Stan was doing the rounds

We waited down at the far end of the harbour for the Liferaft Race, but it was so late that we had walked along the North Pier to some seating with good views 

A certain amount of minor cheating - collapsed roof 

 No idea who won

 The gigs sprint races

Sadly since we couldn't hear any of the announcements we thought they had finished - walked  back down the Harbour  through the crowds and saw there had been another race

The three luggers L to R Barnabus, Ripple and Happy Return. Jim bought his Lobster and headed for home to be with the dogs

I had a delicious cappuccino from The Sisters little van - and a brownie for lunch 

Went out to the end of the North Pier and watched the Trawler parade and race and then made my way out 

 The dog creche as I passed by on the way out

Human statue who gave you a Arrg if you put money in his hat ! 

Tide well out now 

Some of the Red Arrows heading for their display over Scilly 

 The second batch

Jim's attempt to get out of the village to come to fetch me from Wherry Town - fancy trying to bring a large motor home down here on a Bank Holiday

Things weren't much better when we arrived back

Ambulance trying to get down to the Car Park 

Afternoon walkies 

Still lots down on the beach 

A visit from Mermaid late this afternoon
