Tuesday

 Early start on a beautiful morning as Jim's car was going in for its service and MOT

Just a quick dash up and down the hill - car delivered to Helston and Jim picked up by me - it was such a fine day we decided to go back to Penrose as we were already close by 

Lots of dogs there today as the walking in the trees was nice for them 

Thought I knew what this was - but I was wrong 

Wonderful corn field with blue sky 

No idea why all the cattle were lying down 

Looking over to Prussia Cove with the top of the Castle above 

The chimneys and engine houses of the Trewavas Mine 

Heading down towards Loe Bar 

Loved these Thistles at the top of the hill 

Down the steep path 

The new footpath goes very close to the lodge house 

Looks like the work on the Loe pool overflow is almost finished 

Hot dog just about to have some water 

much nicer walking in the shade today 

Wondered if this was Purple Loosetrife down by the water 

Makes me so angry - dog poo right by the bin with the owners just walking away - Jim picked it up of course  

Heading back to the car after coffee and cake 

Huge Welted Thistles all over the field 

I think that these are Beautiful Demoiselles 

Not long after we get home I noticed smoke out to sea and could see that the Penlee Lifeboat was on the way out - turns out it was  FY12 Ocean Harvest  the crew had safely abandoned ship to their life raft and  were swiftly taken aboard the Ivan Ellen. We watched through the 'scope until we had to go out to fetch Jim's car

When I got home it was still burning - with both the Sennen and Penlee Lifeboats in attendance - it later sank and the lifeboats stayed around - collecting debris I assume 

Jim insisted on taking the dogs for an evening walkies - then wished he hadn't as it had been a long very hot day ! 

Looked nice out there

We both had a go at photographing the partial eclipse of the moon
