Cornwall, Wasp Beetle and Seed Planting
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.

Loe Beach, Pill Creek and A Blazing Sky
1 As a teenager, I used to cycle the 5 miles from Truro to Loe Beach to ‘hang out’ with friends. It is a very beautiful place full of lovely memories.

2 We came to Cornwall from Birmingham when I was 6 years old. Pill Creek was my first real view of Cornwall as we were driven to our first home by an old family friend who had met us at the train station. I’m sure you’ll understand why I fell in love with Cornwall!

3 The sky as we drove home became more and more golden and was this wonderful colour by the time we arrived.
