Good Food & fantastic views

The Cake wot i made in just under a week! (I didn't get asked till the week before as someone else had volunteered but then couldn't do it). It didn't look or taste too bad at all! There was a relaxed & happy atmosphere as we waited for the Bride to arrive.

The Wonderful Wedding of Robert & Sarah

We are so proud of Robert & Sarah! We all had such a marvellous time from beginning to end everything went so well. More pictures and comments later when I get time.

Wedding Cakes & Rainbows

Signs that we are not on our own. All made with love and care, the rainbow in the sky to the cake on the table. All God's gifts around us. Families are wonderful things. We are all looking forward to welcoming Sarah and her Mum and Dad coming to Falmouth for THE WEDDING Although these may look white they are actually ivory.

This is the week of intense preparations for Robert's & Sarah's WEDDING!

The next time you see this pair they will be fantastically transformed into the Bride & Groom. We are all very excited, we have lots of people coming down for this great event & even flying in from Spain!

What big hair you had for a New Year Party Do have a look at www.cheekymama2005.blogspot.com To find out why I chose to feature my brother Ian, sister Debbie, bruv in law Tim ( in the pink) sis in law Silver Sarah and cute nephew Harry.

A walk down to Swanpool.

First ripe Blackberries we have seen this year! On the way down we followed the trail of teenage drink litter to their favourite spot on the bridge over a pretty stream that feeds into Swanpool. I find it hard to understand why people who have chosen to go to or sit somewhere for it's natural setting; to enjoy being there and leave their litter even bread bags that they have used to bring bread to feed the ducks and swans are left anyhow. The local rats and gulls are kept well fed. The litter problem is usually worse on the weekends as people like to picnic fast food and anything unwanted is just left as people don't seem to feel it is cool to bin stuff at all.

We love being out together on our early morning walks even in morning mist, as we hear the Fog Horn sounding over the noise of the tractor raking up stuff off the blue flag beach. You can hear the Wren, Blackbird, Pidgeons, sparrows etc as well as the Gulls.

Early Morning walk

St Mawes looked so peaceful as the sunshine came through the cloudsthat are keeping us cooler than up country.

Culdrose Air Show Day

We found out the best place to watch the air display is beside the Press & Media enclosure; all the serious spotters were there beside us. We had a fantastic day out

The Basking Sharks have gone, we are left with the basking boats again!

This morning was very heavy with sea mist, mid morning it was worse & we were driving around our lights on full beam! All clear by lunch time. The College entrance at Tremough all planted up for the Queen & Prince Philip visit last month!

Tremough Campus Degree Show June 06

There was an exciting atmosphere with so many families of the graduates & guests. Phrenetic Jazz being played as background gave it an extra Pizazz. Many courses were showing as well as 3D Sustainable Design (which Matthew was on) Contemporary Crafts had this incredable Lampshade thing to which you were invited to put your head in! What you saw all around, was a magical fairy landscape created from dried grasses and bits & bobs. Fantastic Fabrics had been woven or printed and designed

The Amazing Degree Show

Yes! His bench can take a whole family safely! even though it looks fragile. Matt is taking the Bench & 1 Hat & Coat Stand to the New Designers Show in London next week as he was selected to exhibit there. Some scenes from the show! A few things that caught my eye & of course what Matt did too!

Matt has a great day!

Matthew's Graduation Day. We have had a fantastic day starting with the Graduation, then lunch out at the Ferry Boat Inn at Helford, followed by a walk down through woodland at Durgan to an idylic beach on the Helford river. Matt swam in his boxers! He was loving the feeling of being free from College! We had a B.B.Q. at home for tea then off to the private veiwing of all that hard work.

If you look very carefully round the centre of this photo you may see a Basking Shark's fins. ( click on pic to bring it up larger)

The public has been here in shoals to watch the antics of up to 10 of these Sharks. They have been here in the bay for a few days now, there must be a rich supply of Plancton here.

Baby Rings Bells!

I think this is an amazing video on my friend's grandsons blog. Jack Higby is destined to ring his first peal before he is 2, I should think. Matthew, Jack's Dad, is a few years older than my sons & was always absorbed in anything to do with bells. He built a mini ring in their garage, when he was a teenager with his Dad as supporting engineer & with the encouragment of the local ringers at Chilcompton he took this to lots of shows; soon he began to get quite a few orders. From there on he has built himself a thriving business around all things that RING!!! So here is little Jack just 6 months old on a mini ring. www.higlet.blogspot.com

The shed roof Rob sorted out last summer is doing well. I still haven't planted out some lovely plants or tidied up properly and Owen Bunza Rabbit has sampled a few of the best of those new plants.... But we do love living here it is great!

Comings & Goings at 7 am at Pendennis Point
