Cracked Earth & Weird Weather

Have finally been able to upload our weekend photos!

On Saturday, we went to Treyarnon Bay near Padstow in North Cornwall.
Although, it's only 40 miles away from where we live - it looks like they haven't had rain for a long time!

It's 7 years ago since we last visited this beach & it hasn't changed...

The tide pool to the left of Hugo is where the kids used to love swimming...

It was a bit chilly, but we walked from Treyarnon...

To Constantine...

And back...

Then it was off to Sime's first gig with the new band.

Some photos with the flash...
The guy in the wellies loved the music & danced all night!

Mart on the left, his brother - Dave on the right, Billy on drums & some old man on bass...

Who had to refer to his notes now & then...

Great music, Hugo & I really enjoyed it...
If all goes to plan - I'll be a lady of leisure by next year!
Wouldn't that be nice?

After an incredibly late night, we woke to blue skies & very warm sunshine - so we decided to spend the afternoon in Mevagissey...

The harbour always looks lovely when the tide is in...

We walked around some back streets...

And enjoyed the view from above...

Then headed back down again...

It's school holidays here, so it was quite busy with tourists...

Sime managed to get some lovely shots around the harbour...

We're not keen on Seagulls, they can be quite vicious -  but great timing!

Postcard worthy...

Another well timed moment!

After, we called at Portmellon & enjoyed more sunshine before heading home!

We seem to be having alternate days of hot & cold weather at the moment. 
Today has been chilly & wet - just hope it will pick up again soon!

Great pictures. I recognize that old man on the bass. My son wants to buy one. I told him he needs to get a job.

Great pics, especially the boat. I was happy to see Mavagissey, I havent been there for years.
Looks like a good gig, I thought it was our local for a minute, with its low ceilings and ravers in wellies LOL

Lovely photos, as ever. I have some good memories of holidays in Mevagissey and Fowey etc as a child.

It has turned a lot colder after the previous glorious days, hasn't it? I noticed the temperature even dropped dramatically in Florence yesterday.
Loved your pics (sigh) and it looks like you had a wonderful time. Hopefully we can catch the band on a future trip :)
Thank you all for the comments.

Mel - Great to hear your Son wants to be a bass player, tell him it's easier to play, has 2 less strings & you get paid just as much as the others!

Kath - It was a good gig & we had an even better one last night. Hopefully, we'll be playing Glastonbury next year!

Karin - We never tire of Mevagissey & Fowey, even when it's really busy.

Elizabeth - Would be great to see you at one of our gigs. When you've moved to London, you can come & see us headline at the O2 Arena. Haha.

Kay I wanted to comment on the post after this, but comments seem to have been disabled, so I'll add it here.

I was wondering if the Dolphins have come across "Dolphins make me cry" by Martyn Joseph:

Don't know what the world is gonna do
Or if we can get off this road that we're on
There's hate in my brother's but and as the time goes by
I get harder

They say we learn by our mistakes then we carry on
Sometimes I’m not sure sometimes I’m not sure
There's no brakes on this car as it rolls down the hill
My muscles are straining, my foot's through the floor

Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry. . . . . . . . . .
Hi Karin,

Whoops - must have disabled comments by accident!

Will ask if the guys have heard of this...

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Spring Forward

We are gradually coming out of our winter hibernation and two weeks of pet sitting on The Roseland in Cornwall has been a wonderful way to slowly "wake up" and enjoy being with one of our favourite furry chums. We are all enjoying being outside more and after 5 years of caring for our little pal - we have finally made progress with her ability to listen, focus and follow commands! She has always been a delight to be with, but her excitable behaviour tends to get out of control...perhaps she is calming down as she gets older or maybe we are more relaxed around her. We have certainly felt our bond with her has strengthened over the last two weeks and in turn she is eager to please. She can now have time off her lead and is thoroughly enjoying beach play time, with excellent recall.  We had almost given up on the idea that Mabel could enjoy such freedom, so it is a joy to us all! We do hope that she will continue with her Mum, but are confident that we will slip back into our ne
