Last night’s full moon is known as the Plough Moon or Worm Moon, both signifying the coming of Spring. It is also called the Sap Moon indicating the time for tapping the sap from Maple trees.
The sun has shone almost all day once the mists had cleared. We went for a walk at Trelissick Gardens and the sun was shining right on the golden squirrel of the weather vane on the Water Tower.
We could hear the most glorious bird song and then spotted the robin singing his heart out.

We have a squirrel weather vane on the top of our hutch that we inherited with our last villa . . . it’s bronze & squirrely!

I like the sound of that. I’d love to have one at home. 🙂

A perfect moon shot. And a lovely robin. What’s Trelissick like after the storm? I went to Trengwainton today and it is very limited, so much damage done to the estate. But lovely to see camellias and magnolias in flower.

Thanks. Trelissick didn’t seem too bad at all. We saw some trees down and the effects of them going across the lawn but not as bad as we had anticipated. We didn’t go over the bridge though so can’t report on that. The camellias were magnificent and I’m sorry we didn’t get across to see the big magnolia but Mr S’s knees had had enough by then.
