School

The last few days at school were great fun for the boys, school sports day and playgroup sports day/teddy bear's picnic both had good weather and the children all enjoyed the games. The Head Teacher thanked Jenny for her support in school and playgroup over the last 14 years and handed over some lovely presents. Emotions were high and there were both tears and laughter, I felt at times like i was really part of it all and at others like I was an observer; a bit like watching a film but being inside of it too. It is not easy leaving all these good people behind.

I have been out on the water a few times paddling from Penzance to Porthcurno and back on a warm afternoon two peregrines were peing very noisy on the waters edge below where the Tangyes used to farm dafodills. I had another lovely paddle from Sennen to the Brissons on a sultry Friday evening, not a lot of wildlife about, a few gannets one or two fish breaking the surface and on the way back a classic Sennen sunset doing magic colours on a playful sea made it well worth while.

We are hoping to pick a few blackberries just before we go, these routines mark the passage of the year and noticing the blackberries are a little late with the poor weather this year brought a thought that we might miss them.

We have started counting the days.
