Very gusty winds last night,but they have cleared the cobwebs away. We are so lucky,as the caravan has really good heating and is very cosy.

We had an early breakfast in a café because the dog was frightened by the bird scarers going off.He insisted on being driven somewhere.Anywhere we thought.

Except,what he really wanted was to have breakfast and an ice cream in the café.We acquiesced for a quiet life and it made the dog’s morning.

It meant we had parking all day near the beach,but it was too windy to walk along with the sand blowing in your eyes,probably worse at dog height.

And that was how I found my Echinaforce drops

I had put them in one of the many pockets of my handbag.I use them as I suffer from a tickle in my throat which can get positively wheezy when down here.

I just couldn’t find them and my chest was beginning to gurgle and pop.Hey presto, while retrieving the ticket for the all day  parking ,I found them in the one pocket I hadn’t looked in!

And there were horses riding along

Beach road.

It was good if breezy good day.Dog fell asleep trying to stay awake.

No I didn’t go to some trendy health food restaurant.We saw these flowers growing at the edge of the sea down a long embankment. They covered nearly all the ground and leading down to the rocks they looked very appealing.

Bit of research though  and they are unfortunately an invasive species originating from the South of Africa and will wipe out the natural fauna which grow in the area.They are also a contributor to Coastal Erosion,as they have short roots and take up a lot of water for their luscious foliage.

They may have spread in the 1600’s through increased trade or they could have proliferated in the 1900’s escaping from gardens which had used them as hardy ground coverage plant

They are very pretty though.

They are best removed by hand and then covered in mulch to prevent their return,and I got the impression that this was being done probably by volunteers because for such a hardy plant, they simply weren’t everywhere.

My sister is staying in Falmouth for a week ,so we decided to visit her and spend some time there.

This egret has found a lovely spot to fish and has lost it’s fear of people as it was quite happy to pose for  photographs.

Bit sad . Obviously with the gulf stream climate cactii can be grown and displayed in streets and parks in Falmouth.Why oh why would anyone carve out messages and names on the plants and make them look so unsightly.

Nice view of the castles connected with the area

We were lucky with the journey cross country as there seems to be staggered road closures all across the smaller roads leading to  Falmouth.Took us forty minutes going there and about 30 minutes going back.

Tedi diverted from missing his little brown lurcher/whippet and as usual enjoyed seeing a new place, new smells and different things to see and of course the fresh  Chicken my sister gives him as treats.

The brown lurcher has gone home.Tedi doesn’t understand.He stares out the window wistfully(where they both stared at each other).

When her owners caravan was towed back into storage he whimpered.Try explaining that that means they’ll be coming back.

Had to have a lot of tummy rubs and company,but still goes out and sniffs where she was in the hope he’ll see her.

Weather is being kind to us ,very sunny. However still have bird scarers and possibly people shooting vermin or seagulls around about us and Tedi wants to go inside the caravan when he hears it .It’s better than sitting in the car (which is also his safe place) but which would get too hot.

However  Tedi  forgot about all the noise and had a wonderful walk this morning with his girlfriend a lovely brown lurcher She is besotted with him and he with her.Unfortunately she is going home today.

Tedi and her had the chance to a play in the dog field with her very jealous brother (grey lurcher) and Tedi totally forgot about the surround a sound shooting.

We went to St Agnes for an evening walk and we began to realize ,perhaps dogs aren’t as loving and innocent as we think.Well they aren’t known for being able to read,and they are supposed to look after their owners Aren’t they,?

I have the photographic evidence.Tedi  doesn’t really like the water and waves and tends to run up the beach with his ball.Fair enough  but to drop it right under a DANGER sign and then walk off and expect us to go and pick the ball up,while he heads for the road off the beach.Here’s the photographic evidence.

That takes the dog biscuit!

Maybe it was his way of saying I don’t like the wavy water, or perhaps he’s miffed about something else.Who knows?

Wishing that we were  to be buried under a cliff fall is a bit naughty isn’t it? I’m sure he’d miss us. Or perhaps he has other plans.
