Friday

Yesterdays and today's weather reports - really extremely windy especially for this time of year and it went on for much longer than a normal storm 

Nice fine start , but still with very big gusts of wind 

Mount's Bay still full of white caps and SCIII waiting in Penzance until after 2pm in the hope the weather will have calmed down 

Both Lifeboats and Coastguard helicopter 924 were out searching from Praa sands to Prussia Cove

Person was eventually found in water and was taken from Prussia Cove to Praa Sands, but sadly passed away shortly after. Very sad week here in the Southwest

Penlee Lifeboat Ivan Ellen on their way back to Newlyn 

Baling up on the top field 

You can just about see Scillonian III on her way out of Mount's Bay on a late start - gather the trip was OK 

From Penlee facebook page - "At 4.41 this afternoon the inshore lifeboat Mollie & Ivor Dent Launched from Newlyn at the request of Coastguard Operations Centre at Falmouth. 
With Andrew Wood at the helm and volunteer crew members Amy Smith, James Roberts & Dan Sell on board they sped across Mount's Bay to Perranuthnoe.  Reports had been received from teo German tourists that a surfer was possibly in trouble off the beach. The lifeboat carried out a shoreline search with a negative result. False alarm reported - with good intent"

A quick wave 

Checking out a swimmer 

Who was fine I gather 

Sad to see what the gales have done to the Hydrangeas  - these are at the front of the house

This smaller one at the end was a bit more sheltered 

Afternoon walkies 

Still rather misty 

Field looking neat and tidy 

Some type of Thistle about to spread it's seed all over the village 

Noticed this Hydrangea in the garden also wind burned
