Posy, Signs and Sunset

We visited friends for a lovely catch-up this morning and took a little garden posy of beautifully scented Viburnum, some Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum), Muscari and Forget-me-nots.

There are some very smart new street signs in town.

It being the vernal equinox and another sunny day we went to watch the sunset.  It wasn’t especially spectacular but it was lovely to be out on the cliffs in the evening sunshine. The gorse was particularly golden in the early evening light.

 

Jigsaw and Evening Sky

In odd moments over the last 6 weeks while my lovely Mr S has been recuperating but not up up standing and helping,  I’ve been doing a fascinating jigsaw that has been quite a challenge and I’ve loved every little detail.  The artist who designed ‘In the Bookstore’ is Giacomo Gambineri.

Daughter no 2 and family arrived this evening for a few days and we went for a stroll on the cliffs at St Agnes.

Rag Rug, Lunch and Sunset

I met a good friend in town today and introduced her to  Make A Mends where there was a beautiful handmade rag rug. We each bought something too.

We had a delicious focaccia lunch in the Buttermarket and loved the pansies on our table in the sun.

Tonight’s sunset, seen from the cliff tops at St Agnes, was glorious.

Wolf Moon, Seeds and Sea

I missed the full moon last night but it greeted us as we drew the curtains this morning, still full and in a pinky sunrise sky.

Last year, on onion sowing day, I was the only one in the polytunnel and planted all 8000 seed alone. This year there was a brilliant team of four of us, weighing, counting, sowing and in a couple of weeks we’ll be potting them on as here, just two weeks after sowing!

Weighing 1gr of seeds for one seed tray.

It has been a gloriously sunny day, apricity at its best, so much so we had our coffee break outside at Roots this morning. In the afternoon, we went to the cliffs at St Agnes to see the sea and catch the sun on the waves.

Roots, Sunset and Moonrise

Another busy day at Community Roots, lots of potting on of the winter leaves only sown last week, clearing of a polytunnel ready to plant up, harvesting of some chillies and herby tea for break. We also had a tour of the new building and were amused to see how the workmen keep their tools safe during their lunch break.

It’s been the warmest and clearest day of the summer so we took our supper and went to see the sunset and the moonrise at St Agnes.
