Summer morning

9 comments

It certainly looks like summer here, although there’s still a bite in the air early in the morning It was +2C overnight, but now it’s creeping into the teens. Thought you might like a quick walk around before I start work.

The view down to the beach, past the deck.

The beds either side of the front path.

The patio below the drive – we’re often sheltered from the ocean breezes down here.

From the back of the house, the view to Port Medway.

My islands…

And into the Cove.

Look at all those different greens!

The apple blossom is spectacular this year. I make apple jelly in the fall. It cries out for clotted cream, Toto!

Thought I’d include a couple of older photos of our village and cove. Our house is on the hill on the far right, just out of the photo.

Lobster season finishes this week….

The cove was famous for building schooners and other sailing vessels. Here’s one of the old sheds – a sail loft I believe.

One of the older residents. At one time our village was called Conrad Cove, as it was settled mostly by members of the Conrad family. however, the Voglers came and opened a store, bought up land and changed the name.

This cemetery is right next to the shoreline of the cove, and storms have eroded the shore. The result is that part of the cemetery has sunk onto the beach, and at high tide the depressions of the graves fill with water.

Back to work now. See you all again soon,
