It's time again
And off we go
Flying away
To sunny Faro

Love you so much

St Ives this morning
A pretty afternoon
On the way to the airport
Pretty sunset
Rounding towards the runway
Up, up and away
Cruising towards the Algarve
Vilamoura
Quarteira, towards Faro

Aeroplanes

Standard
Saturday 7th October 

Aeroplanes
Leaving trails across the sky
Sending kisses
And good wishes up so high
Flying away
Perhaps on holiday's delight
Chasing dreams
In the day or tranquil night

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Vapour trails seen from the front door this morning
St Ives this morning
Summer blues in the harbour

Warm autumn sunshine

Standard
Friday 6th October 

Warm autumn sunshine
A golden embrace
Those sunbeams dancing
All over the place

The shadows dappling
With delicate play
Face uplifts skywards
In the midst of day

Slowly eyes closing
In reverie sweet
In nature's warm hug
Where those moments meet

Basking in the glow
Beneath a canopy
In a quiet spell
The soul shakes free

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A beautiful and warm, sunny day
Driving on the back roads
Over dappled shadows
Beneath a canopy of twisted branches
Hayle estuary in the sunshine

Breathing in

Standard
Thursday 5th October 

Breathing in fragrance 
The salty scented air
A moment of peace
A pause somewhere
As whispers of zephyrs
Sigh secrets untold
And flutter through leaves
With stories of old

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
Dearest Father
St Ives this morning
Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
A kiss in the sky
Low tide in the harbour
My father, ‘Hank’, and I.
Missing our fun and laughter.
The adventures and escapades.

Hank’s yacht, Rum Raisin in Riddell’s Bay, Bermuda, 1994

In every dawn

Standard
Tuesday 3rd October 

In every dawn
A chance for life's new start
A hope, a dream
A beat within the heart
Moments of calm
Like whispers in the breeze
When troubles fade
And worries find release

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

A very sunny day
Not too many on Porthmeor Beach
Lifeguards are still looking after the surfers
Smeaton’s Pier
Harbour reflections

October’s here

Standard
Sunday 1st October 

October's here
Drizzle in the air
Muggy and warm
Strolling without a care
Pavement underfoot
Pondering, we roam
Where are we going?
Where is home?

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Darkening skies over Porthmeor
A little drizzle as we walk along the harbour
Misty towards the Towans
Another very low tide

Time passes gently

Standard
Saturday 30th September 

Time passes gently
In this tranquil space
Finding solace and rest
In this peaceful place
Letting the world fade
Unwinding and sway
Within the quiet hold
Of a brand new day

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and drizzly this morning
Hardy surfers on Porthmeor Beach
Whilst having coffee, the tide came swiftly in
A grey afternoon

Sunny September

Standard
Friday 29th September 

Sunny September
A picturesque day
People wandering
Or in a café
Eating ice cream
Under skies quite blue
The incoming tide
Builds a scene anew

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
