Beachy Days.



Rain and cold and cloudy, but with breaks in-between. Spring then? April is here and Easter lurks just around the corner, my favourite time of year (well, along with autumn that is). Bright, breezy walks in dazzling light...



A very low tide allowing wellies to squelch into the sand.



In the hedgerows swirls of golden lichen hug the branches



and form intricate patterns to follow on their journey.



We play follow my leader through fields and lanes down to the sea once more



and splash through puddles on the way home.



Another day, a brighter sky.



A dog who loves to play in the sea



A beautiful growing-up-girl already tanned from the Cornish winds.



Isabella lookink a little like Lawrence of Arabia thanks to a weird combination of hats to protect her ears after a recent infection.



Razor shells and limpets and...



deep dark pools



and pretty seaweeds



of all kinds



Just lovely



don't you think?



Bye for now x

  7. Delurking to say how much I appreciate your photos of beautiful Cornwall. I also wanted to thank you for drawing my attention to the Crofter jumper some time ago! I'm in the processing of making one of these for my daughter and it has been a dream to knit.

  19. Endless rain and cold have just made the beach a distant memory for now. Virtually the whole of the Easter hols have been a wash out. Did see some blue sky this afternoon, briefly!! Enjoy the rest of the week. Dev x

  20. What gorgeous freshness you're picture convey Pip. The sun finally appeared here today (Wednesday after Easter!) so we made hay up at the allotment, well not literally, then headed off to the canal side pub for tea outside. Just lovely.

    Hope Isabella is feeling much better. Hope the sun keeps shining for you all.
    love Stephx
