Perranporth Sands, Pools and A Message

I needed to blow the blues away this afternoon so we went for a really windy walk on the beach at Perranporth, three miles of golden sand when the tide is out, as it was. The little pools left by the outgoing tide had bits of seaweed floating in them and small patches of floating sand that were creating pretty shadows. There was an enormous message written in the sand saying  Thank you from Perranporth and we guessed that it was for the valedictory fly past of our Rescue helicopter fleet. I am told that the service has been ‘privatised’.  Click on any photo for the detail and the caption.

Rock Pool Treasures, Bluebells and A Cloudy Sky

1    Solace to be found in a walk by the sea was needed this afternoon and Falmouth was the place. Crunching through the shingle, listening to the susurration of the waves, breathing in the sea air and investigating the rock pools combined to be balm for the soul.  Click on any photo for an enlargement.

For those of you following for some time, you’ll know that we  have been expecting our next Grandbaby. She arrived on Wednesday evening but is very poorly indeed. Finding beautiful things has always been part of my coping strategy from the time when we ourselves had a desperately ill baby needing three operations on his heart (he survived), the loss of dear ones including my beloved Mum and Dad and my friend of 30 years, Kath, to whom this blog is dedicated and whenever extra strength is needed.  Somehow, I will continue to find the strength, the beauty and hope.    Forgive me if I don’t get around to reading and commenting for a while.
