Red hues.

Fill in the missing letters......

ex-fishing vessel in pillar box red......

it takes two vans to fix one cat......

another red ex-fishing vessel - with an ingress of water that needs to be stemmed.

The lights are in on the Mish'.

It's dark outside these mornings......

but there's plenty of hustle and bustle inside the market......

whilst outside, is a very still harbour in front of the fish market.....

the unmistakable hue of fresh pillar box red paint gleams all over the Post Office, apart from the bottom half of the door which remains with its undercoat......

Badock's gallery's latest showing is from artist Alsion Mumford......

the Jacoba has a fresh lick of paint and her gear back aboard......

long may the light's shine forth from the Mission in Newlyn.

Much mending to do.

More than a day's work aboard the Dayspring........

last call before sailing aboard the CKS.

Only the best of Cornish fish good enough for London's sushi bars.

 Three boats and thirty tons of Cornish Sardines coming ashore.....

 and waiting on the quay.....

 are top Sushi suppliers T&S on a guided tour of the area to see where their line caught bass and Sennen jigged squid come from........

 looks more like a longliner's wrecking trip than a beamer's trip from the Cornishman.......

 looks like a promising start to the day over the harbour.......

 the very latest in haute-couture W&S style.......

likely to cause chaos over the next few days for users of the Coombe road.

Wiron 1 and Wiron II.

The three coasters anchored of Gunwalloe were joined in the night by the mid water boats, Wiron I and  Wiron II.

Surf's up at Gunwalloe and Church Cove.

Walking from Halzephron towards Gunwalloe and Church Cove looks inoccuos enough......

until you look over the edge a few feet from the road by the old Halzephron Herb Farm......

and notice the subsidence that looks more like an earthquake in progress......

looking back towards the cliffs at Pedngwigian......

where the edge of the cliff is treacherous........

evidence of continual erosion of the shale cliffs is everywhere....

 whereas the tiny cove before Church Cove seems to be a haven for disposable lighters......

 erected in the church yard to commemorate a fair held on the beach in the 1920s and 30s to raise money for the church......

 Gunwalloe Church has a separate belfry tower.......

and, from the entrance vestibule the view is down a path overlooking the beach itself......

in Church Cove itself, a heavy ground swell provides a decent wave for local surfers.....

but there is plenty of evidence that this is a beach with a dangerous reputation.......

though the cliffs make for a dangerous exit on the south side of the Cove.....

and not the place to end up.......

better sticking to the middle of the beach.......

there are still several coasters waiting for orders riding at anchor.......

is it the river Gunn or the Walloe?.......

surfing in the setting sun after which it's time to retire to the comfort of the.......

award winning Halzephron Inn and a chance to enjoy an excellent selection of ales and fine food from a menu full of local fare.....

in comfort with a view looking back across the Bay as the sun goes down - log fires in the winter to boot.

Skippers on a mission to save the Mission?

Not what many in Newlyn wanted to read in the local rags this week......

across the prom, Penzance Seamans Institute was empty for years until it was re-developed as private apartments......

with the news that the RNMDSF is to sell off seven of its centres across England and Scotland will this be the fate of the Mission at Newlyn.......

or will it find a way to stay in business......

in addition to the invaluable work they do out in the community......

the Newlyn mission currently provides a safe haven for visiting fishermen and sailors - and has played a direct role in all the major incidents at sea including the Penlee Lifeboat tragedy and the Fastnet Yacht Race - services include a refectory with TV, internet access, snooker table, showers and accommodation and, of course, the hugely successful Newlyn Fish Festival was started by a previous mission skipper, Len Scott......

it also provides cafe style food.......

all under the auspices of the current mission skipper Keith Dickson - long may he continue to do so - especially as next September will see its centenary......

the high winds have filled the harbour with seaweed from the rocky coast......

the Ben My Chree knows what to do with all those flags left over from England's unsuccessful World Cup campaign.
