May 2019

We spent as much time as we could sorting the St Ives cottage. Birds I’ve seen from the bedroom include shag, gannet, fulmar, kittiwake, Manx shearwater, guillemot and Sandwich tern so far! It's great being so close to the Hepworth Sculpture Garden.

The coastal flowers are beautiful now. The thre-cornered leek is largely over, but thrift and Spring squill are looking great.
