Early morning

We woke up this morning to such a fabulous morning and as always the first part of the ritual is to let Ollie in from his morning patrols. (Unfortunately this habit is preceded by our bedroom door being flung open by the determined feline at 4.00am demanding to be let out) Today though, there was a hint of specialness about the day and I padded across the courtyard in my Dressing Gown to record the silky dawn.

Special days come along every now and again - One of our guest last week left at dawn with the tide to spend a magical day fishing within sight of the Isles of Scilly, returning with the dusk tired but happy. He booked his trip directly from Penzance harbour aboard the Viking although I think he had to work hard catching all of those fish! The Mermaid has a super web site too and I've heard of some memorable days. Have a super day today - Ollie is now asleep (second palm from the right)............think I may wake him up!
