1 The clematis in the front garden has lovely fluffy seed heads – and this one has a Green Shield Bug on it.
2 Truro’s hanging baskets are quite splendiferous this year – every turn brings another beauty.
3 We are having a picnic with friends tomorrow and I have baked a Mary Berry recipe, a Scone Tray Bake for the shared lunch. I’ve also collected lots of beautiful salad leaves from the garden.

Peppadew and Cheddar Scone – it tastes as good as it looks! I had to try a bit so that it fitted the box!
