Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

Seems ages - guess it probably is! since we last went to St Ives, so enjoyed a few hours there this morning before the hordes descend in July...

Somehow I forgot to mark first harvest day here.  A sad oversight! too excited rushing home to eat the peas I suspect!

Many brave people are going with the Gaza Flotilla II assembling in the Med right now.  The Zionist Entity has made its usual revolting attempts to stop the ships before they sail and smear the people but the ships are going.  Shame on Greece, Cyprus, The USA, Canada, France and Australia for telling their citizens not to participate.  Interestingly The Zionist Entity is claiming that people on the flotilla entering Gazan waters 'will be treated as individuals having attempted to enter Israel illegally' (Jerusalem Post) thus demonstrating that they consider Gaza to be under the authority of the Zionist Entity...

Just finished the last episode of "The Shadow Line" (2011) (TV series) - quite astonishingly brilliant.

More like a proper play than TV drama, one of the absolute best things I've seen in years and the scene in Ireland with Gatehouse (Stephen Rea) and Crace was sublime and worth a programme of its own.

Walking on Godrevy,  the wildflowers were looking especially beautiful

Lovely walk in Tremayne Woods today, the bluebells and the light through the beech leaves were stunning with lovely views over the Helford river out to Falmouth

The misuse or strained use of words, as in a mixed metaphor, occurring either in error or for rhetorical effect

I've long wanted to go to Dollar Cove - but it's mysteriously missing from Ordnance Survey maps.... today, after a visit to Halzephron House I had an opportunity and (apart from nearly being blown away!), it was just as pretty as I'd hoped.

Here are some pictures -

The bluebells were early this year and have been looking lovely in the garden and around the village, but I especially liked this picture of Bluebell woods at Carlidnack in Cornwall.

The weather this last fortnight has been amazing - like June, with beautiful blue skies to match. Too busy enjoying it to take any photos but was struck by this one from Penzance posted on Twitter.
