My journey

Standard
Monday 11th October 

I'll have faith in my journey
I'll trust this road
I may not know the path
Though I carry a load
But I hope the way's clear
Towards a new episode
So onwards and upwards
As my pace hasn't slowed

Love you both
My precious sons

Man’s Head at West Porthmeor
Much quieter on Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
James Stevens 10 St Ives lifeboat
Low tide, and still remaining warm

Tiny steps

Standard
Sunday 10th October 

All those tiny steps
Add up
Resulting in a journey of
Many miles
Just keep on keeping on
Living life

Love you both so much
My darling sons

Porthmeor Beach Lifeguards still on duty
Bethesda Hill, looking towards the harbour beach
Fish Street flags
Sunbathing on the old pier
Low tide means you can walk across to Porthminster Beach
Smeaton’s Pier
A very warm October afternoon

It’s still forward

Standard
Friday 8th October 

It's still forward
My heart knows
That small steps
On tippy toes
Baby shuffles
Y'know how it goes
Tentatively
Tenacity shows
Moving through
Never oppose
Just keeping on
Sigh and suppose
Nurturing calm
Peace then flows
Soothing the storm
As sunlight glows

Love you both
Darling sons

Watching the waves
Porthmeor Beach
Enjoying the surf
Patterns in the sand

In dark dreams

Standard
Wednesday 6th October 

In dark dreams
Beyond shadows
Unheard screams
Time has froze
Falling down
Dominoes
Agitated
Nightmare slows
Thoughts abound
Highs and lows
Calm is sought
Soft repose

Love you both
Precious sons

Sunshine and showers

Standard
Sunday 3rd October 

Sunshine and showers
Much brighter then hail
Changing conditions
Adapt and inhale
Breathe in the fresh air
New paths to unveil
Stand strong in the storm
Cast off then set sail


Love you both
Treasured sons

Sheltering beneath a tree during a heavy shower
Looking down on the town this morning, before horizontal rain lashed everything
