May 30 - More food for blue tits
If you look closely, you can see that she has a spider or some such in her beak to give to the babies!
May 28 - Colour in our garden at the moment
The main colour in our garden: all kinds of shades of purple!
May 26 - Newquay and Padstow
Fistral Beach, Newquay:
I'll have the big yacht in the middle of Padstow Harbour, no problem! :)
May 25 - Suzanne Vega concert
The wind had picked up quite a lot compared to yesterday, so it was all a bit colder and a lot breezier than at last night's concert. Most of the audience came prepared though, as you can see from the 2nd photograph!
May 24 - Fishermans Friends concert
This was brilliant! The weather was warm and it was a great atmosphere. This was extended when we went to the local pub after the concert, and the group came there too, with some musical instruments and happy to keep singing. We all stayed till about 02:15 when they had finally had enough. Really good evening!!
May 23 - our 3rd Wedding Anniversary - spent in the Scilly Isles
And we went there by helicopter. This was my birthday gift to Andy as he loves anything to do with flying!
We left Penzance at 08:30 in misty foggy weather, landed on St. Mary's (biggest of the 5 inhabited Scilly Isles) less than half an hour later. We walked round the island for a bit, found our way into the main town area (Old Town) and went on a boat ride to see if we could find puffins and seals. Which to our delight, we did!
Arrived back on the island in time for refreshements, and by the time we ordered those, the sun came out and the day turned lovely and warm.
Back to the heliport at 16:30 and by 17:45 we were back in Penzance! Lovely day, and it left us saying we would come back and spend more time so we could see more of the other islands too.
Here are some of the photos of today:
May 22 - Porth Nanven, Cot Valley
This site is protected as it shows the impact of the climate changes of the past, as this sign explains:
And they are serious about protecting the beach:
May 21 - coolest seaweed I've seen so far!
This is the baby variety in a rockpool... larger siblings out in the ocean!
May 20 - sign that it is time to go home :)
The Scillonian III returns from her daily journey to/from St. Mary's - one of the Scilly Isles. We will go there on 23rd ourselves though not by boat :)
May 19 - Tiny waterfall down onto the beach
I had not seen that before... guess they had lots of rain in Cornwall too last few weeks!
May 16 - Navy practises rescuing people
The helicopter hung around the beach for quite some time, somewhere between half an hour to an hour!
May 14 - little stick on the beach..
OK, ok.. maybe not quite a little stick... it was more like a huge tree trunk! Andy went and sat on it, and he could not put his feet on the ground!
