Remembering Our Happy Times

I have collected this small bunch of flowers from the garden for my lovely friend Kath who died far too early, four years ago today.We had many years of fun and friendship and this blog, full of beautiful things, was started in her memory. She was one of the most positive people I have ever known and always had the well-being of others foremost in her thoughts and actions.

Long Walk, Blue Skies and The Lodge

Another sunshiney day and another flat walk, this time from Helston towards Loe Bar all the time surrounded by beauty. Join us along the way. It is all National Trust land and is just glorious.

Newlyn Art Gallery, Heron and St Michael’s Mount

Other bloggers often ask, ‘What are you grateful for?’  Every day I am so grateful that we were able to come back to Cornwall, to enjoy the sea and the countryside. Today we went to Newlyn to the Art Gallery and for a walk along the front in bright Autumn sunshine. There was a bowl that I loved and a painting but almost the best thing was seeing the sky as we went up in the lift – magic!

As we walked along Mr S spotted a Heron in the sea.

From the path and the gardens we could see St Michael’s Mount in the distance.

Equinox Tide, Garden Blooms and A Visit

Yesterday we went to Falmouth for my flat walk and found the tide at Gylly Beach the lowest we have ever seen – the Equinox tide apparently.

Our glorious Indian Summer continues and there are lots of flowers still blooming in the garden, today October 1st.

Another lovely neighbour called in this afternoon for a chat and brought with her some fresh garden veggies and some homemade shortbread which was very lovely. We do have some very special neighbours and friends! Thank you all.
