An afternoon stroll

Standard
Wednesday 11th May 

An afternoon stroll
To Porthminster Beach
Beautiful blue skies
Are all within reach
And stopping awhile
A coffee for each
Just watching the boats
Above, seagulls screech

Love you both so much
Precious sons

The harbour, with the Chapel on the Island in the background
The James Stevens No 10 lifeboat
A narrow view looking down to Crab Rock
Porthminster Beach
Lovely blue skies
Turquoise seas
Getting ready for the Food and Drink Festival this weekend
A Barbecue Bar
A view through the trees, across Pedn Olva, to the harbour
Sitting in an elevated position at the Pedn Olva Hotel
Across the harbour from the Malakoff
Smeaton’s Pier
Sunshine and blue skies

Sea and beach collide

Standard
Tuesday 10th May 

Worries in the sand
Written at low tide
Are soon washed away
Incoming waves, glide
Disappearing thoughts
Sea and beach collide

Love you both so much

Porthmeor West
Fun in the waves
The tide is coming in
The Island
Pretty blues
Surf school
At the slipway on the harbour
A wider view, with some blue sky overhead

And

Standard
Sunday 8th May 

And
It will take
As
Long to make
The
Pain to shake
To
Mend the break
Keeps
Me awake
Try
To soothe the ache

Love you both so much

Rocky blues
Not too windy on Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
West Porthmeor
Quite a few enjoying the sunshine after a misty start
A sunny corner of the harbour
Low tide
Seagulls everywhere

It doesn’t matter

Standard
Friday 6th May 

It doesn't matter
How long it's been
I know you're there
But no longer seen

Love you both so much

Shades of blue
A quiet Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
West Porthmeor
Man’s Head
A brisk breeze blowing
A cloudy harbour
Low tide
Towards Kitty’s Corner

Ring around the sun

Standard
Thursday 5th May 

Ring around the sun
Is rain on the way?
A solar halo
But it's warm today

Love you both so much

St Ives harbour this morning
Solar halo
Looking down on Porthmeor Beach
A few surfers in the waves

Looking back

Standard
Wednesday 4th May 

Looking back
Is fine with me
I won't get stuck
You're now set free
But I can hold
Your memory
All those pages
A treasury

Love you both so much

Starting again

Standard
Tuesday 3rd May 

Starting again
Every morning
Breathing slowly
Face adorning
With gentle smiles
No conforming
To what must be
Little warning
When I lost you
Still, I'm calling

Love you both so much
Forever and always
Treasured sons

Walkers on the Island
Lifeguard training
Dull, and quiet on Porthmeor Beach

Monday 2nd May

Nine years ago today......
Thursday 2nd May 2013
Surgery on dodgy looking mole
On my left foot
On the fourth toe
Melanoma
Stage 3c

.

The mole on my toe
Just started to grow
And I did not know
It would change me so

Melanoma, Ohh!
Spreading to and fro
Lymph nodes, tallyho
Recovery, slow

No more suntan glow
Seek shade, way to go
Fight for tomorrow
Challenge this foe

Love you both so much
Always and forever
Precious sons

A Facebook memory popped up
Porthmeor Beach
Low tide in the harbour
The sea slowly creeping over the sand
It’s a bit cloudy over Hayle Towans
Little wind today
So very clear
A pretty afternoon
Sunny Bank Holiday
