Coverack, today 🌿 #cornwall
Lots of small & colourful fishing boats moored on the slip in a little harbour. The tide is going out. There are rocks around the harbour and the sea and sky are a pale grey-blue. You can see the coastline dotted with houses, in the background. This is Coverack in S Cornwall.
Looking across a rocky shoreline - with a pale grey-blue sea and sky - towards the little harbour dotted with brightly coloured fishing boats. You can just see the old lifeboat station - a white building (decommissioned in the late 1970s and now a fish & chip shop / bar) and The Paris Hotel, a pub!

Went to France with the kids & we opted out for just a little bit ✨🍸 🌊 🥐 🌴☀️
The turquoise sea off Antibes, France - a beautiful clear blue colour with little dots that are white boats in the background - and a blue sky above. An evening view of our little pool, with shades, green plants and palm trees surrounding it.4 of the 5 (!) kids in the small pool, just hanging out, it’s evening time so lots of lights illuminating the dark space. An icy glass of white wine being held up in front of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea (off Antibes) and with a blue sky above.

Also had the most gorgeous little sea swim 🤩 #Cornwall
A view across green bushes and hedges a to a little sandy beach with a few people on it - this is the beach just around from Padstow Harbour, Cornwall - the sea is a beautiful blue and the sky a pale blue - no clouds - just stunning.A view across the sea - technically Padstow Estuary, Cornwall - its crystal clear so you can see the yellowy sand through the water that’s tinged blue as it hits the skyline and cliffs.
