After a busy day in the garden we headed off to Porthtowan for a walk along the beach. We love how it all gets busier as the evening comes on. Can you imagine leaving work and heading for the beach to surf in the evening sunshine? By the time we left, there were 50 or more surfers having fun in the waves. Bliss!
Tolkein had the right idea!
The sea in these pictures is the same still sea that we visited yesterday but in a very different mood. Today the waves – and the surfers – were back in Chapel Porth.
We also watched a family having a lovely time in the gentler surf at the edge of the water. I was pleased to catch their reflections in the retreating water.
Our special friend N came to spend several hours with me today so that the lovely Mr S and Daughter No 1 could go out for a sail. That was a very pleasing morning and our lunch of homegrown Watercress soup, delicious.

Am I the only one on this beach?
