Monday

Bad start to the day when the Gulls came back - firstly bashing on the dining room window and making the dogs bark then going up onto the roof and stomping around with their big flat feet

As I opened the blinds in the kitchen I spotted HMS Tyne a River Class Patrol Vessel that carries out Fisheries Protection duties as well as recently escorting a Russian Navy ship along the channel 

A favourite branch for this Chaffinch 

Off they went up the hill in the sunshine, with the Northerly wind still blowing

A better shot of HMS Tyne 

More cloud than yesterday 

Scillonian III heading out on a later tidal affected sailing - sorry about the heat haze 

Tried to get a shot of this Swallow zooming around the fields 

Off went HMS Tyne 

Afternoon walkies 

The sun behind a cloud

Sunday

Yet another sunny day, with a cool Northerly wind 

MSC Alyssa about to pass Wolf Rock Lighthouse on her way to Liverpool 

Sand in the water again 

Was in the wrong part of the house and almost missed the Penlee Lifeboat Ivan Ellen passing Perranuthnoe on the regular Sunday training/engine run 

Had to hobble as fast as I could and grab the camera 

Off they went past Cudden Point with the Ro-ro car carrier Atlantic Sky out in the shipping lanes  making for Liverpool

Tilly had an accident all over her dog bed and although I tried to clean it - even got the BexBissell out but it's had to go, so I managed to find Wooster's old puppy bed - as you can see he still loves it ! 

Back up the hill past the Forget-me-nots 

Our little Japanese Azaleas  have suddenly started to flower, so pleased that something has survived the winter

Just one shot of the sun as I usually get up and down several times to try to catch the best shot

Saturday

 Nice sunny morning - but there was still that cool wind

Sun on either side but Scillonian III in shade as she set out  

After a couple of weeks rest Oamaru Barn is all ready for this weeks visitors - a few extras included some of Andrea's delicious fudge  normally on sale near the Car Park

Home again 

 Nab Hopper Barge - just out of dry dock, crossing the bay

Lugger Happy Return on a silvery sea 

Good to see the Valerian starting to flower 

Walking down the track towards the car park 

Two of these - really took us by surprise

Army Westland Apache AH1 - callsign Gunship1 

One of the most lethal helicopters in the world is the Apache from which they say "You can run but you only died tired ! "

Off they went, following the coast and down to Lizard Point

Friday

Another damp walkies

It brightened up a little later on

Noticed an Ambulance arrive

After a while the Air Ambulance came roaring in

Several circuits to check out the landing site

Noticed that the waves were really building up

They landed on the field next to the parking field

Beautiful

Off they went - hoping for a good outcome

Had my first swim of the year now that the pool is warm enough

Thought I'd see how my knee got on

Afternoon walkies with a patch of light rain approaching

A few more Bluebells in the hedge
