I am well chuffed with the Rhubarb this year. I placed an old Victorian forcing pot over it about 10 days ago to gently bring the young stems on. Today l took the pot off as the leaves were poking their way out of the top. I pulled some stems and we had our first Rhubarb Crumble tonight. Delicious!

Lezardrieux Port
This weekend saw some of the highest tides of the year and coincided with sunrise and a lovely mist which slowly burnt back as the tide retreated. Another great photo opportunity!
Roger
Roger…what do l say? He is great! After nearly a month he has settled in really well and we are all good friends! Here are a few pics to share.

Another walk with Roger and another lovely area of coastline that we haven’t been back to for some time. It’s only about 15 mins drive from us but tucked out of the way. Big black clouds were rolling in and we had Richard Hawley playing in the car, ‘There’s a Storm A’Comin’, very apt:
There’s a storm Comin’
You’d better run
There’s a storm coming
Goodbye to the sun
There’s a storm comin’
You’d better
Run boy run
You’d better run
There’s a ship that’s sailing
Out in the night
There’s a heart that’s breaking
I think it’s mine
There’s a storm comin’
You’d better
Run boy run
You’d better run.
As it turned out the rain clouds missed us but we could see someone was getting it on the horizon. Pictures of Roger to follow.

I came across this old boat on the banks of the Trieux early one morning last week while looking for pieces of driftwood for a clients garden. The colours of the decaying wood and flaking paint were highlighted in the early sun. It’s a shame it has just been left to rot but a great photo opportunity for me.
Trevou-Treguignec
We drove over to Trevou-Treguignec with Roger and had a bracing walk along the beach. No pictures of Roger yet as he never sits still long enough when we are outside!
Paimpol Port
The following pictures show a small representation of the wide varirty of boats that are moored in the Port at Paimpol.
Cabbages & Turrets
I passed this field of cabbages on my travels yesterday. The light was fading and rain was coming in so it was a challenge to get the right shot. I think l will try again on a sunnier day to compare what shots. The field next to it was of Curly Kale. I have never seen so much being grown in one place before.
I love the textures on this cabbage. Nature’s art work.
Had to include this which l saw on my way home. Again, l think l will try and capture this on a sunnier day. This, like many of my images, has been edited through Photomatix, a HDR software editing tool. It enables you to produce some incredible images but you must not over do it. I think it works well on architecture. This one needs a little more tweaking to get rid of the flare around the top of the turret.
