Daisy in the Garden: Strawberries boats and army tanks

Strange warm misty morning

Looking across our neighbour's field . The beautiful morning mist .

Colin coming with his tractor to cut the meadow today ,. I still have miserable ear infection pain and rumbling tinnitus in both ears (second lot of antibiotics ) so we thought we'd get out of his way and set off to watch a yacht race over at Falmouth .

I do have good news though..... my kidney cancer CT Scan result came and it is all clear . Thankyou wonderful surgeon , doctors and nurses . I've been in a dreadful state of extreme anxiety for the last two weeks , the slightest little thing making me cry .

I am still wearing my facemask when out in shops and trying to stay away from crowded places . Please be understanding as to why people are still wearing face masks and not give the unkind looks .

I can assure you that my eyes will be smiling back at you !

Make the most of every single day , be love and be peace .

Pendennis Point looking towards St Anthony's Lighthouse .

So over to Falmouth , grabbing a McDonalds Brekkers tea for me and coffee for him on the way

Very warm , foggy and not the slightest breeze .

No one had their sails up .

Nothing was happening .

Word was going around of delaying the start or even calling it off altogether .

No whales ..no dolphins today .

Drove back to the docks to see what we could see . Lovely view over Falmouth and these two sweet little ketches .

Mist clearing a little , but still no sign of them starting . Husband getting impatient now and wanting to go home . I wish I'd packed a picnic .

Then this beast came rumbling up the road ! Oh ! How cool ! lol !

The serious posing made me chuckle lol ! ...and those lovely smiles cheered me up anyway !

The yachts did start to move away , but he decided we should go home now ....but there's another race tomorrow , so if the weather and visibility improves we may pop along to watch again and take a picnic with us and a flask of coffee to keep his Lordship from getting bored .

I enjoyed the morning anyway .

Came home . The field has been cut and twizzled . Now hopefully to dry and be baled up over the next couple of days . Beautiful , best quality hay for horses .

Looking across the meadow from the veg-trug .

I have covered one end of the veg-trug with some old grids and chicken-wire to protect our ripening Strawberries from the cheeky blackbirds . Listen , I give them apple cores and grapes , they are not having any more of my Strawberries !
