what lovely pictures the sky almost does not look real

[johcharly]

wow they are fantastic I love sunset/sunrise pictures, I dont get to see many sunrises though!

[Merlins Mum]

Oh they are lovely Tim, particularly like the one on the right.  Skies are facinating things at the best of times I think.

Just wish we lived by the sea - looking west. As we both used to, as children.
And the ships passing by.

[Merlins Mum]

I know what you mean Tim.  When my Dad retired he and my Mum moved to Cornwall, near the Lizard and the sunsets there were magnificent.

Bude was my family centre. And either New Brighton or Empacombe, my Wife's.

[Merlins Mum]

Ah Bude, I have never been there but used to see all the signs when I went down to see Mum and Dad.   I take it you are Cornish then?

Beautiful pics !

Amazing coincidence Tim, my father, grandfather and great grandfather were all seafaring Bude men!! When my father passed away, 28 years ago, ( he was only 58 ) his wish was to have his ashes scattered into the sea over the breakwater in Bude.
My grandparents ran a B&B and tea rooms from their 18 century cottage in Poughill. Wonderful memories of overpowering fragrance from sweet peas and honeysuckle, still my favourites.
I narrowly missed being born in Cornwall, as when my mum realised she was expecting twins, she caught the first train home to her mum in Newcastle !!  ;D

Love Cornwall sunrise/set's, have seen many in my time over there.
Mind you. Canada has it's moments...these aren't the best shots but we do get some lovely one's here.

glyn, the first piccie of you - looks a bit apocalyptic ....

and lovely piccies, you two.
so, what is the saying again (shepherd's warning)? i only know the german version

[tim]

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight - red sky in morning, shepherd's warning!

Big skies over there, Glyn??

Bude - Maternal g'parents lived in Northcott Mouth. Now a café. Paternal ones in 'Pudner's Cottage', Poughill. That's how it all started!! Great Uncle lived in 'Langfield', Bude - now a 5 Star hotel!!

No - not Cornish. None of us. Don't know why they were there.

[Mrs Ava]

ooooo Di, I have a chum who's folks have a cottage in Poughill.

Great skies!

[MagpieDi]

Crikey ! 'Tis a small world EJ !!
Will send you an E if find the address! We're going back almost before you were born !   ;)   Hasten to add, I was a very small child last time I visited !!    ;)   ;D

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight - red sky in morning, shepherd's warning!

Round here(Yorkshire) we always say red sky in the morning, sailors warning. Must be a regional thing!

[tim]

We learn every day??

That's really interesting Tim.  I've printed it for my OH, he should have been a weatherman, he's facinated by the clouds and what they mean.  I'm sure he couldn't be much worse at predicting the weather than the crowd we have on the telly.  :)

Oh what beautiful photographs !  Those shades of pink and blue are gorgeous!
;D :D

[tim]

And remember that this is 650' up! What is known as Instrument Flying weather.

Looks a bit murky there.

Its not quite the end of april weather, but this evening and this afternoon the sun came out and it stayed out for the rest of the day it was really warm :) Spent the day pricking out seeds.
