Spring Greens, Robin and Mylor Harbour

1   The lanes around Cornwall are just bursting with that very special bright green of new leaves. Every corner  turned brings new delights.

2   I always take a walk around Mylor graveyard while the lovely Mr S strolls around the boatyard. The Robin was keeping a close eye on me.

3    It has been a very grey, cold and windy afternoon but the wind meant that the rigging on the yachts was singing that special song that reminds one of being by the sea.  The Myosotis blue was glowing despite the lack of sunshine.

Tulip, Toy Chest and Tree Trunk

1  This delicate tulip was blown over in the bitter winds and has now opened indoors.

2   The family left at 8.30 this morning and the house is disquietingly quiet!  We’ve been putting away the fireguard, stair-gates, baby bean bags and toys. The old chest was my Dad’s. He trundled his books from Britain to Egypt to Bechuanaland in the Second World War and it is has another life now as a toy chest. Some of the toys in it were mine, many were our children’s and some are new for the Grand-babies.  The cup-cake cases have been an excellent toy for 2 year old T who has stacked them, named their colours, paired them up and thrown them!
