Waves, Reflection and Friendship

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.

We’re looking forward to being able to walk by the sea again on Porthtowan Beach as we did last year at this time.

I love how the waves always appear to be rolling forward even when the tide is going out. Click on any photo to see beautiful detail. All these have been taken on the North Coast of Cornwall where the waves are wonderful in any weather.

Getting started / November 1st

06 Nov

Sometime ago, my lovely friend Sue from choir, shared a link to a blog called Three Beautiful Things. I loved it, and the idea, and resolved to record three things every day that have given me pleasure. I decided to start on November 1st but it’s taken me until now to get up and running – but I have been keeping notes so here goes:

Tuesday 1st Nov

1 Delighted that our phone and broadband have been mended today. It has been surprisingly hard to do without.

2 We had a walk up to Wheal Coates, in cold bright sunshine. The sea was turquoise, waves were crashing beneath us and the raw energy in the air put springs in our steps.

3 We Skyped with our Grandchildren in London. For the first time, Tabitha, 7 months old, recognised us and beamed and clapped her hands with delight. She kept looking from one to the other and grinning. That gave us both enormous pleasure as it does to have delightful conversations with Jake. KJ gets the odd word in!
