Wednesday 9th October

.

Sunshine and heavy showers today

Towering clouds chasing across the sky

The rain coming down in stair rods

Puddles growing as cars splash by

.

Blowing kisses to you

My Angel up on high

Sending lots of love

As above us you fly

.

Blowing a gale on Porthmeor Beach

The rain is not far away

Billowy clouds over the harbour

Taking the rain away

All is calm for the moment

About twenty minutes after this, the sky turned so dark, and rain and hail battered the seafront

Tuesday 8th October

.

A new phone

Has been duly acquired

Taking a while

Finding what’s desired

Looking forward

To taking photos

Will try tomorrow

And see how it goes

.

Thinking of you

Sunday 6th October

Still moments

Transport me back in time

A quietude

Remembering when life was sublime

Tranquility

Dreaming your small hand is in mine

A calmness

Reminiscing when we were in our prime

.

Always loved

Forever missed

Never forgotten

Walking down Porthmeor Hill to the beach

Lifeguards will be on duty until the end of October

A few swimmers and surfers today braving the waves

Low tide in the harbour

Still quite warm

Smeaton’s Pier

Looking towards Porthminster Beach

Whoops….An unexpected cream tea

Saturday 5th October

.

Remembering my father, Hank

Group Captain Ivan Raymond Martin, RAF, AFC and Bar

4 February 1932 – 5 October 2009

Ten years

How can that be?

A decade

Gone so quickly

Missing our fun and adventures

Remembering you too, Frank

Porthmeor Beach

A little sunshine this afternoon was most welcome

A few surfers in the waves near the Island

A group of surf school students

Friday 4th October

.

Our love intensifies

Between the here and there

Growing stronger daily

Showing how much I care

Far across the universe

Connecting me to you

Binding us together

Perceptible and true

.

Missing you sweetie

Tuesday 3rd October

.

Out walking in the rain

Around the town and back again

Wet pavements, puddles in the road

Hood pulled down, shoulders bowed

A gentle mist covers my face

Like a soft, angelic embrace

.

Love you sweetie

Beloved Angel son

Heavy mist covering the Island

A damp Porthmeor Beach this afternoon

Wednesday 2nd October

.

And so passes another day

You’re not here for me to say

My love for you won’t fade away

In my heart, that’s where you’ll stay

A busy harbour front this morning. A German film crew were shooting scenes for part of a Rosamunde Pilcher film

Still very low tides at the moment

Tuesday 1st October

.

Your physical self

May have gone

It’s those memories

To which I hold on

Though the earth

Keeps on turning

It’s your real self

For which I’m yearning

.

Missing you as always

My darling Angel son
