Is this really April?

Well it certainly seemed like Summer yesterday. I saw surf-boards, ice creams and shorts on the beach and it is only just April.

We popped down to Sennen Cove to drop off some glass at the Roundhouse Gallery, and ended up staying for a while including a coffee and a shared pizza at The Beach cafe.

What lovely weather, and so nice to have some evenings to enjoy the garden.

Cape Cornwall

At last the sun is shining in Cornwall after a week of mist, fog, drizzle and general greyness.

It is amazing how some blue sky can lift the mood. After a busy day we didn't have much time for an adventure, but you don't have to go far from St Just to appreciate what the area has to offer.

In fact, we only went down to Cape Cornwall and walked down to the right of the Cape past the ruined chapel. This view is north towards Botallack. The sea was choppy and the wind was brisk, but with the sun on our backs it was a very refreshing afternoon.

Then back home and, despite the fact that the recent wet weather had taken its toll, I managed to cut the grass in the garden for the first time this year ... surely it must be Spring soon.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

While the TV is telling us that there is no snow in the West ... I beg to differ. We were supposed to be off to Heligan today, but the snow has scuppered that. The first picture was taken at 8.30 this morning. Then later when we took the dogs out for a run the sun broke through.

As you can see, Stan LOVES the snow!
