1 Mr S spotted a beautiful little butterfly on the trellis early this morning. It’s a Small Copper.

2 We loved doing the first of our walks from Sue Jackson’s book “Discover Cornwall” this morning! So good to have the author on the end of the phone when we got ‘lost’ – entirely our fault! The view from the top is amazing, all the way across Cornwall from one coast to the other! Photos from the walk follow –
Baronet’s Engine House
Granite marker
Carn Marth Amphitheatre, built in the old small quarry

Glorious heather and gorse

3 Friends lent us the dvd of ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it this evening – a delightful mix of laughter and tears.

Isn’t it? I’ve never seen one of those before and had to Google it to discover what it was. All the best to you 🙂

Lovely photos. I have just read the book “The best exotic Marigold Hotel” and can’t wait to see the film

You should! It is a very beautiful county with the most interesting history of tin mining. 🙂

I would say that granite marker is there to stay for a bit. The purple flowers will probably last a day or two.
Each interesting in its own way.

Hello, I agree about the granite marker! We are lucky with the heather though, it flowers over several months.
There’s a saying in Cornwall about the yellow ones too: “You can only kiss in Cornwall when the gorse is in bloom!” It’ll come as no surprise to you to discover that the gorse blooms in every month though more in some months than in others! 🙂
