May. In nearby Penrose and late afternoon looking across
Loe Bar. The bluebells in the walks are still putting on a show and look a
bit closer amongst them for a rare White Bluebell. About 1 in every 10,000
according to the NT. Out of the woods the Hottentot Fig is now also
beginning to flower. Considered a bit of an invasive pest, it does have a
cheerful bloom.

Walking and Cycling away from the coast.
Walking the inland footpath to Helston. Coming back via the Boating Lake
and Loe Pool valley.
Cycling and a good place for a coffee stop is at Balwest with comfy bench
and views to Penzance and Newlyn.

A couple of recent winter sunsets on different days just in
front of us overlooking the beach.
As a change from the coast. Inland walking on the local public footpaths.
Left: the path goes through the St Elvan Round. Sadly all overgrown now,
this area predates Porthleven and is reputed to where St Elvan first
preached. Right: A very old path again and the footpath to Sithney Church
used prior to our St Bartholomews before the 1850's.
