Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Mostly Sunny.

It was yet another sunny morning so off we went for a walk. Morthoe again but this time we went down to walk through the wooded Kinevar valley. A few of the trees are dusted with the pale green of their first leaves and the ground below was a carpet of colour.
No bluebells yet but native daffodils, primroses and celandines everywhere sprinkled with the first of the violets.
We stopped at Bennet's Mouth to enjoy a cup of coffee. Then onwards and up the steep cliff path to Bull Point lighthouse before turning back along the lighthouse road.

From there we could see across to Morte Point and watch the coastguard helicopter. They do their training exercises up on that ridge.
One last glimpse of Bennet's Mouth before the final gentle hill to the road where we had left the car. The clouds had gathered and it looked as if that was it for the good weather but the sun reappeared in the late afternoon. I did some gardening including the spring pruning of the buddlia bushes. Hopefully this year there will be a few more butterflies to enjoy their flowers. I ended the day by catching the evening sun by the scree garden (cup of tea and a book as always). The first swallow has been joined by its mate and they are busy house building or at least renovating, in one of the out buildings.

Thanks for the nice walk. Didn't the violets and other flowers look promising?!!
