St Ives

St Ives Harbour from the sea
 Wow - wow - wow! 

This is what we have been saying all week - from the moment we stepped off the train and saw the view. St Ives is the most beautiful place and we have left a little bit of our hearts there.

I have chosen some photos to give you a flavour of our week - I will write details later for those of you who like detail!

We have seen so many different skies and seas and I have longed to be able to paint. You can see why artists and photographers love it there. The light is so beautiful and the blues - every shade - colour the landscape from first light to sunset.

Our flat was perfect - just outside the harbour with views out to sea and into the harbour. We were 5 minutes from everything but protected from the business and noise.

 My highlight - of many - was seeing a seal from our window nearly every day popping his head up and checking out what was going on. Paul named him Cedric. One day he even brought along his friend to frolic on the beach right in front of our flat.









The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking - again an artists dream.

 Today - I am catching up with my boy, the washing and the clearing up. It is raining outside and I can feel Autumn tugging at the garden. It has been such a joy to have a late summer holiday.

We spent hours here - watching

Fish, fish and more fish!
