TUESDAY 24TH JUNE - on the headland

You would have found us on one of our favourite headlands a few days ago - St. Anthony Head. Bathed in sunshine and caressed by a warming breeze, this was the place to be. Here are some photos to share it. This is not a hidden place but a very popular place for those who can be bothered to take the various ferries, drive the narrow lanes for miles or walk along the coast path however these folk disperse quite widely so there is room for everyone.

There is a carpet of clover from field edges to the cliff edge.
This beautiful thistle was close to the edge.
Yellow ?? AGRIMONY OR YELLOW RATTLE? I can't find my widflower book - any ideas?

I just really liked to look through the grass with the sea behind.


Lifting your eyes the view across the bay is glorious. The plethora of small boats, both yachts and motor boats, ribs, occasional canoes, sometimes a gig and even Ships at anchor awaiting to go to the bunkers in Falmouth make this as delightful and entertaining view. It is possible to spend much time just wiling away the hours.



The water through the grasses just caught my eye.


A Bristol channel pilot cutter was passing Black Rock at the end of an offshore race which we had been watching far away.


A really lovely afternoon.

Can just imagine lying in the grasses peeping through to the sea. Better in summer than winter I guess.

Thanks for the pictures.
