Penzance Mild . . & Sunny! Good to get both!

[Graham Easterling]

It is still quite windy though, currently gusting 35-40mph, though steadily decreasing 53mph gust @ Lands End 03:45, and up to 56mph on the Island, St Ives.

Along the prom where it's sheltered (09:20) you can just see the 1st swimmer of the day. 

A pleasant change from the rain & mizzle of the last couple of days.

The council spent a small fortune installing that art installation (pebbles to you & me) on the prom. Strange, because whenever the sea chucks some over, they remove them.  Still they do an excellent job of trapping the weed and seem to have become a challenge to skateboarders. To be fair, the prom has been done up rather nicely.

There seems to be no grading of the pebbles by size.

Modern artists! Can you trust them?

Your subject line resonates with me a bit as it was only this morning (as the rain poured down outside) that I thought back to winters that were both mild and dry - a few in the 80s and 90s anyway. At the time we thought they were boring. Maybe not so now!    

Currently there's  a bit of standing water in the front garden - I've never seen that before here.  I shall go and inspect the level of the Thames later.
