Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye; Look for…
sad news
I am very sad to announce the sudden death of my OH on Wednesday morning (29th October 2025) after a very brief illness. He’s often been mentioned in my posts and comments and occasionally there may have even been a photo. He was my best friend as well as husband for the past 22 years…
Six on Saturday | Middle March
It’s been an unsettled week according to the weather forecast. A bit wet, a bit windy, a bit sunny, mild and cold. To be expected in March I suppose, but I really would appreciate some more quiet days. I’m writing this on Thursday as my daughter is visiting me this week, with the intention of…
Cloudscapes
It was a blustery day on Wednesday, but I have taken the opportunity to have a short walk when I have to visit the library in Hayle. Sometimes along the Copperhouse Pool and the garden, or along the quayside to the beach. This week I chose the beach as it was low tide. (Please click…
Wordless Wednesday
Another instrumental track from David’s collection of music. In his own words: “I stopped thinking of myself as a guitarist (or singer, come to that) many years ago. Basically, I’m a songwriter (and primarily a lyricist). Still, from time to time a tune without vocals finds its way into the studio.” Blues For Davy (You…
First Spring Walk of 2026
It was dry and the sun was shining when I awoke last Wednesday. So time to visit the local National Trust garden and see the camellias, though I knew that most of the garden was closed to the public due to Storm Gorretti damage. It really has devastated the Cornish gardens in the far south-west….
Six on Saturday | Marching On
The first week of March brought some welcome sunshine to the west of Cornwall, at last. Unfortunately lots of mist / sea fog too, but the sunny hours were very welcome and I made the most of them to clear up some of the garden chores and also visit a local NT garden. More of…
A Mackerel Sky
Returning home from a visit to my nearest NT garden on Wednesday I decided to take the scenic route from Madron which winds through West Penwith moorland down to the Celtic Sea, with lovely views, though due to the narrowness of the roads you do need to keep your eye on where you are going….

Six on Saturday | Spring Might Be Springing
My first six of the year, a little later than usual but then it has been an unusual winter in many respects. So many storms that have caused so much damage here in the far west of Cornwall. I have never seen so many trees down, and when I drive along the nearby Coach Road…
