A New Month

A day for reflection and calm after my slightly 'angry' day yesterday.  I have decided to try and make myself go for a separate walk from the dogs each day this month despite the pain in my feet.  I have missed my walks, the fresh air and the way the sea breezes 'clear the cobwebs' and sooth the mind. Why without the dogs?  Well little Percy being blind and still getting over the year and half of chemo is still building up his stamina, and to be honest it is so muddy on the walks through the woods and along the coast now that it is really not at all suitable for him, as he can stumble too easily, so I still to the roads and grass for him.  I could take Stanley, but don't like to leave Percy on his own, so I take them on at least one, usually two  walks a day, whether permitting.

It was very grey down at the bay.  The sea was quite noisy, but I knew that anyway as can hear it up at the house.  Surprisingly it was actually fairly mild and with a sweater and a coat on I got a bit too hot.

You couldn't see the hills or cliffs!  The clouds were very low.

A ferry out at sea.

You can just see it in the distance.

A teasel. 

Reedy grasses swaying in the breeze.

Thank you to all who left such kind and supportive comments on my post yesterday.  It is very much appreciated.

 

Tuesday

A seat to sit and read whilst listening and looking at the sea.

A grey and cloudy day, but still warm enough to sit out.

Watching the Cormorants

and the interplay between them.

Rocks seen on the beach...and a passion fruit skin.

Rubbish as well unfortunately

A Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly

An Oedemera nobilis beetle.

Large crack in the ground

Erosion

Fence line just hanging on by a thread.

Another spot I sat and read for a while...

Back at home

Watching.... so refreshing, no PC nonsense, no malice intended, just plain good fun.

Tomatoes growing.

Still no sign of my parcel and Hermes proving to be impossible to contact.  Very frustrating.

Soothing Sunday

At last a lovely no noise, no smoke day!  A quiet soothing Sunday, just the way it should be.  I didn't do any gardening today except for watering the garden in the evening.  It was too hot in the morning, and I was a little sore and tired, so decided just to have an easy day.  I did some reading, a little crochet, a little sewing and just general pottering around.  The guinea pigs got cleaned out.  Baily & Felix, Jeremy and Murphy came down to the outside hutch for the day.  It was nice watching them eating, and sleeping in their cage, while I was sitting and reading.

The sky was a glorious blue.

I spent some time by the pond.

I managed to get several photographs of a Broad-Bodied Male Chaser

Just love these lilies.

Ships going past.

Dennis enjoyed being on the grass.

The wild flower mat that I got for my birthday in March has some very big plants grown from it!

Courgettes!  I am so looking forward to these.

After I had watered the garden I went for a short walk along the coastal path to the bay and home.

Well that was May - can't believe it is June tomorrow!
