Thursday

 

Some sunshine but a bitterly cold Westerly wind

Expedition boat National Geographic Endurance had arrived early this morning from Portugal

Love her ears!

Scillonian III leaving for Scilly - sadly she suffered a problem with one of her engines and returned to Penzance - after an examination it was decided it would be best for her to head for Scilly using the one engine. Due the engine problem and  to worsening conditions for both Friday and Saturday both sailings have been cancelled - what a mess!

I stopped off at Marazion Cemetery and took a couple of photos of Endurance

Went to collect the wheelie bin from up the drive and thought how lovely the flowers were - the old Cranberry Apple Tree is looking amazing

Huge number of flowers 

The Rosemary is also doing well

Mermaid came a bit closer this afternoon

Marine Discovery's Shearwater II also came past

Afternoon walkies

Endurance was very slowly drifting her way along the coast and hung around for a while off Mousehole - she has now left for St. Brides Bay

We were surprised to find the the footpath has been properly strimmed

They often only do the parts where there are steps etc

Bluebells appearing on the field

Gry Maritha arriving back from Scilly - partly repaired but seemingly still requiring a tug escort. Scillonian arrived back at around 8pm
