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 | An Early Easter
The first break of the year and Cornwall will be full of tourists (or grockles as the local call them). Until we moved here 10 years ago this week, we too were grockles, though back then it never seemed quite as busy as it has been in recent years. The roads and the car parks…
Festival of Spring 2026 Week 3
This time of year is when the Blackthorn appears in the hedgerows and Cornish hedges. The bare branches look like they have been dipped in icing sugar from afar. Dawn’s Festival of Spring
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.” Quartet for One (You…
The Power of Water
Porthmeor Beach, St Ives, Cornwall. March 17th 2026 (Please click on an image to enlarge) There is just something magical about listening and watching big waves crash onto the shore. The surfers were happy too.
Second Spring Walk of 2026
The weather changed towards the end of March and became wetter, windier and colder, but I just managed to get to Trelissick Gardens for a walk in time to see their daffodil walk in flower. Usually I get there either too early or too late. In fact there were daffodils planted all around the garden…
Six on Saturday | Lions on the March
You know the saying “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb“? Well, the reverse was true this year. Towards the end of the week the wind blew and the temperature dropped. Which made photographing the flowers a little tricky. Unusually I took the camera out instead of the phone to…

Tate St Ives
Take a journey across space and time with the work of Lithuanian artist Emilija Škarnulytė’s epic film installation at Tate St Ives which ends 12th April 2026. Inspired by West Cornwall’s landscapes and tides, you’ll step through towering screens arranged like ancient stones and explore moving images of underwater worlds and mythical creatures. I thought…
as I was going to St Ives…
It was that day again. Car service and MOT day when I have to ditch the car and find something to do as returning home is not possible unless I walk 2 miles uphill and 2 miles back down again on a road without pavements in some parts. Or get an expensive taxi. My old…
Six on Saturday | It Must be Spring
Well this week has been full of surprises. Sunshine and blue skies for most of the time, though a somewhat chilly wind to accompany it. The car passed its MOT and the annual service went OK, although some signs of wear on the front tyres which is odd since they were new when bought and…
