Winter calm

Sun is out, water is calm, Winter is not all bad.

Happy New Year

Happy Chinese New Year Hayley and Daniel.

Sheep

Is this an English thing or is straw chewing a global pastime ?

Retro

This was taken earlier this week, before the rain came back. I wanted to create a 50's style image so used one of the Photoshop guides (http://freephotoshopguides.com/photo-effects/retro-50s-postcard/1/) but realised what I was actually after was a Kodachrome look. Unable to find any good tips on how to achieve that so ended up with this ....


It's not that different from the original so guess I failed.

Early Spring

Winter was late coming and now Spring appears to be here..... in February.

Caneoist

Strong winds again today. This possibly foolhardy canoeist braved the waves, minutes after this shot he came out of his canoe and luckily floated to shallow waters.

Windy

Kite surfers out today, just out of shot were the serious size waves.

Dartmoor

This is a cheat as it was taken last year not today...have moved house since then so did not get the chance to see what it looked like in today's snow. For those that like to laugh at the Brits reaction to a few flakes of snow .... Severe weather warnings continue

Toy Boat

A real boat, but it looks too clean to have ventured very far. The weather has changed now so I better stop posting pictures from our sunny Sunday.

Padstow has a famous chef, renowned for his fish dishes, which seems to have encouraged most of the shop owners to turn into restaurants or ice cream parlours. If you ever make it to Cornwall make sure you pick up some Skinners beer, the brewery is based in Truro but most places in the county stock their bottles. Check out the website to view the unique names of their brews. Delicious!

Feet

A beautiful sunny Sunday in February, the weather is warm the flowers are already blooming and a walk on the beach in Cornwall is a must.
