Morning over Pavenham

Sunset at Falmouth... 

The journey down started at -4 in our driveway... dropped to minus 11 en route... then gradually warmed till it was zero at Bristol. Driving was slow and careful in such icy conditions but the milder temperature was a false security... it even became plus 4 by Exeter, but then the snow began...  a little at first then thick and fast and driving Okehampton/Launceston and then over Bodmin Moor was a nerve-racking affair. At one point, when there was almost no traction, I thought I should stop... but equally knew that if I did I would be stuck... so gritted my teeth... (I know - it was the road that needed gritting!) In fact the highways agencies were brilliant and were out salting etc constantly. Anyway, I was relived to reach the milder climes of Truro and Falmouth - it had taken about 8 hours... but a rather tasty fish and chips whilst sat watching the sunset certainly helped ease the tension!

Pavenham Straight Sunrise

On the way to the Tuesday's Ladies Golf... it turned into a lovely day with a sunshiny afternoon. Golf was fun... I called it "3 Kites and an Eagle" on the Ladies website as one of my playing partners eagled a hole... and we watched three red kites circling above the woods near the 15th and 16th! :-)

 What a lovely place it is...

Across the fields from the B & B.

No pretty skies with this morning's sunrise - but two hours later warm sunshine. A robin is following me, darting to and fro nipping for insects as I sweep up leaves in the garden and try to tidy!

 :-)

No sign of robin now!

Here he is :-)

..and again!
