Daisy, Terrace and Lunch with a View

This little daisy in the moss and little green leaves, lit up when the sun came out today.

Driving through Hayle today, I just managed to get a photo of this colourful terrace.

We had a delicious lunch, Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with a cheese scone, at the cafe at Godrevy today with the most glorious view over to St Ives.

Sunshine, Commandments and Colours

There was a break in the clouds, the sun came out and we dropped everything and went to Godrevy to stroll along the cliffs.

In the car park there is a sign I haven’t noticed before, The 10 Commandments for Surfers.

Along the walk back there were many spots of colour – here a dandelion, a bramble flower and some not quite ripe blackberries.

Lilies, A Lighthouse and Waves

The lilies that arrived for Mothers’ Day are filling the house with their perfume, almost two weeks since they were delivered. I wish you could share the scent.

I  was called at short notice for steroid injections in my ankles this afternoon (I’d been waiting 15 months!) and have been walking on air since they were done! After visiting St Michael’s hospital, we now have a tradition of going to the sea afterwards, Godrevy being very close and a favourite.

The sun shining through the waves as they were about to break, shone up a lovely turquoise.

 

Sea Air and Winslow, Arizona

We needed sea air today and went to Godrevy for ice creams and a stroll breathing in the wonderful fresh air.

On our trip, we stopped off in Winslow, Arizona for a break. I love spotting murals in the small towns and also found a butterfly. The hotel, La Posada, is such a lovely spot, full of beautiful things. Enjoy the gallery.

Today’s Posy, Lighthouse and Mussels

We had another poetry and laughter filled visit with our Dear Friend, Ti.  This is today’s posy from our garden which always engages other residents as they identify the flowers and talk about their gardens.

Later, despite the grey day, we went off to Godrevy to see the sea and the lighthouse. We dodged the showers and walked a short way along the board walk from where we spotted the mussels on the rocks.

 

Blossom, Lighthouse and Sand Art

It was lovely to see the blossom opening on one of the trees in the carpark when we went to the green grocer’s this morning.

I needed some air and some wild seas this afternoon and Godrevy gave me some of what was necessary – waves and wind and some sanity.

On the left of the photo, you can just see the sand artist with his rake on the  beach at Gwithian.

 

Charities, Posy and A Beach

The river this morning when we started singing was very calm and the masts reflected almost perfectly.  After singing we had two visitors from the charities we have supported over the last year, Penhaligon’s Friends and ShelterBox, £400 to each, thanks to our generous audiences.  Here we are presenting the cheques to their representatives.

This afternoon we visited our dear friend, Ti and took her a little bouquet of flowers from our garden.

Afterwards we went to Godrevy for a walk in the chilly air with the glorious warmth of the sun on our backs – a day of apricity!

 

Berries, Lighthouse and Last Show

I hadn’t realised that Lily of the Valley has berries, bright red and beautiful but very poisonous , I discovered on googling.

Such a beautiful day today and our young friends busy so we went off to enjoy the waves at Godrevy. We have never seen the place so packed with people! I think it must have been featured in one of the many programmes about Cornwall on tv!

It was the last show tonight and it was just as wonderful. A couple of days ago I emailed Spotlight South West about Hooligan Art Community and, as a result,  they went to see the rehearsal yesterday. Sadly, the clip from the tv programme is not available tonight.

Whitebred Shorthorn

There are some beautiful, white, fluffy rare cattle on the cliffs at Godrevy, the Pendeen herd of Whitebred Shorthorns. This one posed for me a couple of days ago.

 
 

Walk, Waves and A Jay

Daughter No 1 came to visit for the day which was a real treat! Despite the mizzle we walked along the cliffs at Godrevy where the lighthouse (just right of centre in the first photo) was all but invisible in the low cloud and the waves crashed against the rocks so that we could scarcely hear each other speak.

A jay visited our garden today, a most unusual visitor, picking up the seeds from under the bird feeder. We couldn’t get a better shot but you can see just the characteristic flash of blue.
