Up early. Walked the dogs. Nipped down to the harbour and caught the sunrise. But missed the tide by about an hour. Take the wins.

An evening stroll with Ewok and Yogi, always a delight. Usually.

To the pub for a birthday beer, ice cream and a salmon treat. It was the last ice cream too!

Padstow, walking home

This time of year is perfect for getting Yogi and Ewok out (or for them getting me out) to experience the sun rise on our morning walk. Heading back into town it's rising and warming your face as you stride down Cross Street, accelerating towards breakfast.

Surprise of the day, a hug with lovely F.
