Waves...

Hello

It is particularly high tide at the moment due to the full moon tonight...

We popped to Godrevy on a rather cloudy (but warmish) Friday last week for a quick coffee in between a crazy work schedule

Rather spectacular Waves crashing on the rocks

And Mr Seal popped up just off the rock we were sitting on to say "hi"

Then on Sunday, as the Sun was out - we decided to pop there again for a picnic

Turnstone picking through the Mussels

More great Waves...this time with a BLUE sky 

This was our view from our picnic spot!

I will never tire of being able to do this...just a couple of days difference and such different landscapes!

Azure Blue

No touch ups here....just look at the colour of that sea

We woke up to superb sunshine this morning.  The biggest and bluest skies we have seen in a long time.  We were up early (for us) and Kenny made some fresh Sausage Rolls and Eccles Cakes for our picnic. 

Spring board type rock...very scary

Also in our picnic were apples & cheese and hot coffee.  We walked in total about 6 miles we think  from Lands End to Gwennap Head - very up and down so my legs and butt are aching a little now.

Chough - Kenny managed to get quite close.
He was making such a lovely noise!

...and having a little scratch!

Wheatear - a bit blurry as this is incredibly zoomed and cropped (couldn't get close to these at all!)

What a day....we are so so lucky!

Postie goodness

Back in January I saw THIS POST on the blog of the very talented Bagladee.  Emma was posting about some pressies she had made for Christmas - iPhone covers in leather.  Now I don't own an iPhone - but I had just received a Kindle (love love love my Kindle, a whole post on it's own).  I had been looking for a cover for it, but most from Amazon are of the folding variety and for me they defeat the object of the kindle being such a delight to hold when reading!  Most of my reading happens either at home (don't really need a cover) or when I am away - so I wanted something to protect the screen when I slip it into my handbag (all manner of things can happen in ones handbag!)

So I swiftly contact Emma to see if she could "adapt" the iPhone cover to become a Kindle Cover.  I sent the dimensions etc and we had a few discussions about what I wanted on the front - we settled on a little row of beach huts - entirely Emma's idea and just PERFECT for me!

Kindle Cover #1 was received with great anticipation that swiftly turned to frustration as the Kindle wouldn't fit - it was just a little too tight :(  Try as I might I just could not get the Kindle to go in!  Very difficult to make a cover for a gadget you don't actually own!  Emma VERY kindly said to send it back and some additional measuring was done and Kindle Cover #2 was under way!  She also very kindly said she would make the first one into a little zip purse - YAY!

Well....I recieved Kindle Cover #2 today and IT IS PERFECT.

and here it is with its little zip purse (this just happens to fit my camera in perfectly)

It has already been on its first outing.  Today has been glorious sunshine so we decided to go for a picnic on the beach (perfect Kindle outing).  Marleyman had already made some Eccles Cakes this morning so they were packed along with some fresh coffee and off we went!  

Coffee and a Sausage roll on Newlyn Beach
 (Eccles cake was eaten after and quite without thought of a photo)

Honestly, I didn't think I would LOVE living here quite as much as I do!

Picnic on the beach

Awoke this morning to sunshine.  Went to do the shopping and the car said 16c!!!!!

Naturally - picnic supplies were purchased, coffee made when I got home and off to the beach we went!

First picnic on the beach without a coat, hat and scarf this season

LOVE IT

Happy Weekend Everyone
