Monday

Stunning morning - with large flock of gulls zooming around

Morning walkies

Great morning for potting

So good to suddenly see so many butterflies

Scillonian III passing Mousehole

Wooster looking like he's going to fall over as he turned to say hello to Toby

Buzzard looking a bit the worse for wear

Penzance helicopter G-PNZE took a wider loop before landing

I spent most of the day pressure washing the balcony - missed last year due to the hose-pipe ban and it looked terrible

Lugger Happy Return on her way back from a visit to Porthleven - sadly not enough wind for her sails

Arklow Breeze arriving to anchor

Some high cloud arriving during the afternoon

Wooster inspecting the finished balcony - not perfect, but much improved

Meanwhile Jim mowed the lawn

Coastguard helicopter came past - then suddenly banking around sharply - sadly I'd grabbed Jim's camera and for some reason it wouldn't focus or shoot

Atlantic Diver came close in

Not as many in the water as yesterday

The Rose-hips appearing on the Rosa Rugosa

Afternoon walkies

More of the high cloud

Spotted this Wall Brown butterfly - had to look it up in the book!

The Hydrangeas under the trees are lasting well

Selenes Dragon in the foreground and Caledonia in the middle

Selenes Dragon heading back to anchor close in at Trebarvah Cove again

Caribbean Princess on her way from Falmouth to Cobh

Rather odd cloud formations this evening
