Beautiful clouds over Watford

There were some amazing clouds over the garden yesterday, they changed very fast and I was surprised that they came out on the photos. They were wispy for about two hours and we watched them changing while eating our lunch outside.

This is a better view of the Matthew, it looked fantastic out in the bay at Falmouth.

Fired on by the crew of the Matthew

Our friend Pete sailed around to get a better view of the ship Matthew in Falmouth. The crew thought it would be a good idea to fire on us, very pleased to get a good view of the blast from the cannon. The ship is a replica of John Cabot's ship more info here http://www.matthew.co.uk/new.php

Engine House at Chapel Porth

I always wanted to get a good photograph of this engine house above Chapel Porth. It was full of ravens and we saw a hawk resting on top of the engine house but far too fast to get a decent photograph of.

Steps through Kennall Vale

A very inviting walk up the steps through the woods, the bluebells were not quite out but plenty of new green leaves coming out.

Kennall Vale

Been back from Cornwall for over a week now and I have finally managed to organise the photos. This is the stream that runs down the Kennall Vale in Ponsonooth that was used to run the watermills for the explosives factories. Amazing how tranquil it is now and imagine that some of the trees were just saplings when the factories were operating.
