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.
Ice-Cream, Seed Pod and A Caterpillar
We were really delighted to find that Sallie’s Ice-creams were still selling at Godrevy this afternoon. After a brisk and chilly walk in the wind, we treated ourselves. It’s never too cold for ice-cream.
The seed pods against the seascape were asking to be caught on the camera.
A furry caterpillar shared our walk, possibly a White Ermine Moth caterpillar.

Sparkles, Blossoms and A Blue Butterfly
We walked on the cliffs at Godrevy today and the lovely Mr S saw glorious blue sparkles in the waves tumbling in. We decided it was his polaroid sunglasses causing the effect that I couldn’t see so I took a photo through the glasses towards the sea and I’m delighted with the result.
The Sea thrift has gone replaced by these larger white flowers that start out pink and go white as they grow.
There was a tiny blue butterfly fluttering around the hedgerow. It looks white in the middle of the photo. 
Children Singing, Mount Recyclemore and Thrift
I have mentioned a number of times that the G7 Summit is happening over this coming weekend in Carbis Bay, Cornwall. Everyone has now arrived and talks as well as various protests have started. Â Another film being shown is this one from children from Marazion School near Penzance and Stoke Climsland School near Callington. It, too, like Gee 7 which I gave you a couple of days ago, is very moving and really needs to be listened to by our leaders and by all of us.
From The Guardian: Â “Seven giant faces loom above the dunes, gazing sombrely over swathes of bright sea thrift towards the ocean.
Even before the G7 had sat down to begin their Cornish summit, Mount Recyclemore, a sculpture made of discarded electronic waste depicting the visages of the seven leaders, looked bound to be one of the stars of the show.
Created by the artist Joe Rush and the tech business musicMagpie, the piece has appeared at Sandy Acres beach, just along the coast from Carbis Bay, where the leaders are meeting.
About 15 artists helped create the structure over a frantic six weeks at Rush’s scrapyard/studio in south London. Parts were then shipped down to Cornwall on lorries and put together in situ.”
We need to visit Sandy Acres Beach to see this. This afternoon we did one of our favourite walks along the cliffs at Godrevy. We had thought it might be blocked off but apart from the radar area and seeing army personnel, all was much as usual. 
Not beautiful exactly but interesting nonetheless
Thrift, Wine and Shadows
We set off to the car-boot sale today in the hope of finding duplicate tools for us to keep in our new shed at the allotment. Sadly, despite having checked, they were not open. We were near to Godrevy so walked a different way today to try to find the Thrift that flowers there in profusion. We were a bit early but here is a little of the lovely pink stuff.
For the first time, it was warm enough in the early evening to have a glass of wine in the garden.
The sun threw delicate shadows from the grass onto the slate area where we were sitting.
Sign, Sea and My Mum
We loved the sign at the beach where we went after collecting lots of little plants from Kehelland Horticultural Centre.
Blowin’ a hooley
Hooley hair
The colours of the water were just beautiful, all the lovely shades of blue.
Looking up in a book about herbs today some papers fell out – in my Mum’s handwriting. What a delight and one of ‘those’ moments. Â Mum died in 1994 and yet seeing her handwriting can bring her right back into the room where her advice on growing and using herbs is all I need.
A Lighthouse, Waves and A Tea Party
Such a beautiful day today!
Godrevy Lighthouse
I love the sound of the waves and hope you do to –  that’s  St Ives across the water..
More work at the allotment today and the last bed enclosed! neighbours invited us for tea.
A Poem, The Sea and Some Sky
My poet friend, Kim, posted this evocative poem today and has given me permission to share it with you, dear Readers. I remember that longing for the Cornish sea when we lived far away from home. Also, the last verse  rings particularly true as today I walked by the sea with a lovely friend where I felt, ‘Blessed by the sea and its motion,’ as well as by the warmth of a special friendship.

As we left the allotment this afternoon, the sky was peachy and beautiful.
Tunnel Lane, Bark and Ice-Cream
We are so lucky with our lovely walk into town!
Isn’t this beautiful bark?
A walk on the cliffs and an ice-cream finished off our day.
