The storm has passed and winds abated.

Couldn't resist a quick stop on the way to pick up freight for the Stores. Just peaceful and beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the Menawethan during the 5 July Open Day, hosted by some very welcoming front-line staff on the ship and quay. Whilst our interest is in Menawethan’s role as the new freight ship, it was good to see the 12-seat passenger lounge too. This could come in handy during the winter months! Wishing the crew all the very best as they bring her into service. Looks like she could be making her first freight run later today!

Old Quay back in one piece and looking good this afternoon.

We are sad to say that one of our primary suppliers, R J Trevarthen Ltd, have decided to put a hold on shipping their products to Scilly. As suppliers of top-quality Cornish meat, who worked closely with us to meet our customers’ needs, it’s a great loss.
The reason for their decision is the ever-growing difficulty they have in shipping products to Scilly using services provided by the Steamship Company. In recent years, and especially over recent months, we have been amazed by the lengths to which all suppliers have gone to continue supplying Scilly, so whilst this came as a big shock, it’s not surprising.
Please be assured that, at St Martin’s Stores, we will do our best to source alternative supplies of a similar quality for visitors and residents alike.
We have to record a big thank you to Trevarthens. As a supplier they couldn’t have done a better job for us and it was a pleasure working with them. Whilst based in Cornwall they worked hard for the islands, the businesses they supplied and in turn the residents and visitors who loved their products.

Hugh Town, a ghost town, mid-afternoon, six years ago today. I scurried through, face covered. It was so strange to see it like this, when visitors would normally be coming and going for the shops and off-island boats, or queueing for the Scillonian and a sunny evening trip back to Penzance and on home.

Spring growth engulfing last years brittle stalks. Towards Par Beach from the top of the track down to Old Quay, St Martin's.
