From Ednovean to the Sea

After a busy we week treated ourselves to a walk on Sunday taking the footpath across Ednovean farm to Trebarvah and then winding down the hillside towards the coastal path. The first view back towards Perranuthnoe always enchants me - the combination of the old farming ways and the glorious views across Mounts Bay............



We left the sandy beach of Perranuthnoe far behind us below as we cut through the higher footpath with its great view back over the beach




if you click the photo to enlarge it and you'll see the brave sea bathers




Perranuthnoe from the cliffs with the high moors behind that separate us from the St Ives coast




Some of the tiny fields are still in production whilst others have been taken back by nature



The low trees that line the coast




looking forwards to Cudden Point




But we clambered down to Stackhouse cove spending the day on one of the little beaches with a picnic, watching a family trawl backwards and forwards across the rocks, searching the sea pools that team with baby fish at this time of year.

Through the afternoon the sea grew until we eventually retreated to the little beach at the far end to watch the waves start to churn across the cove before swimming in the more sheltered waters of the navigation channel in front of a ruined boat house

The Sunday papers were reduced to crumpled ruins to carry home as we clambered at last from the beautiful wild cove to journey back along the cliffs to Perranuthnoe and Ednovean Farm where Olly cat was still waiting just as he had left us, in a field gateway, across the lane from the house. He swore he had sat there all afternoon if you can believe a cat!

Diva has yet to foal but today she is running milk so I think we can expect an arrival of the Trans Continental stork very soon now - fingers crossed and all good vibes for Diva please!!!!
