St Ives

Hello, I'm back from my holiday. :)

Thankyou to new people here for becoming a follower!

I've just spent a week in my favourite holiday place in the world, St Ives in Cornwall.

I saw star-like plants spreadeagled in all their pointy glory

and frilly magenta greater knapweed soaking up the sun.

Bright clusters of glorious yellow ragwort were dotted along the coast path.

Is it me or do you think there are more wild flowers in bloom this year than ever before? It could be all that rain we had the last few weeks!

 These poor crabs were washed up on the beach, ready-meals for the seagulls. A welcome alternative I like to think from their usual diet of pasties, chips and ice-creams.

But with the rain, comes the glorious rainbow and what better place to see one than over the bay of St Ives. I don't mind what the weather's like when I'm here, I can't imagine a nicer place to be. :)

Most of the week was very hot but I managed to squeeze in a little shopping!
Can you guess what I bought? ;)

I still don't have my own computer so my time online is limited but I do hope to snatch the odd moment to come out Blog visiting as whenever I can. :)
