1 I grew up in Cornwall, UK and live here now. Here is a video to show all my readers what a beautiful place it is accompanied by a wonderful song written by Harry Glasson.
2 We found a beautiful beetle on the wall in the sunroom today and I have just discovered that it is a Wasp Beetle. It is quite harmless and mimics a wasp to keep predators away.

3 I have been thinking about my friend Shelagh this afternoon while I have been in the sunshine, planting flower seeds in a ‘cutting’ bed. There are Nigella and various colours of Cornflowers. Shelagh lives in Vermont, USA, and they have had two more inches of snow today and the snow ploughs have been out. I have sent her some warm Spring vibes across the ether and if you are somewhere where winter still rules, feel free to share them. We have lots to go around! The film about Cornwall, your home too, is for you as well Shelagh.

Diagonal rows for flowers! What a great idea. I’ll remember that if I ever have a garden. No, correct that, when I have a garden! 🙂

What a beautiful film and song. I can understand why you share so many pictures of the land …. it does look like an Eden.

I love the video and the singing. I never came across a wasp beetle before, I must watch out for them. Thankfully we had a couple of work outside days here in NI. Mind you I was still well wrapped up, to me there was still a nip in the air.

Yes, we had a nip in the air when out of the sun and this morning it is grey and windy, hoping the murk will lift. 🙂

We were wondering the same. With my history of bronchitis and pneumonia, I won’t be going jogging in any bad air! 🙂

We received a couple of inches here in Maine also. We appreciate the warmth you share!

Your winter just seems to last forever. By the way, we loved our visit to Maine in October 2013. We were finding lighthouses and later on covered bridges. We loved Kennebunkport and wished we had stayed longer. 🙂 https://mybeautfulthings.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/road-trip-day-1-boston-to-kennebunkport/
