A Walk and A Dance

02 Nov

Do join us for a lovely Autumn walk around the gardens of Trelissick.

Looking over the Carrick Roads. There was some sunshine but the colour photo looks black and white!

We saw a Seagull stomping and dancing on the grass encouraging worms to emerge. Several did. We’ve never seen this behaviour before.

We have a three day weather warning for storms coming up so when we woke to sunshine, we decided to make the most of it by taking a walk around Trelissick Gardens, having our lunch there and then spending much of the afternoon in the garden back home planning which veggies to grow and in which plots.

Yesterday and Today

27 Oct

Saturday morning in town, the sun was shining and some leaves on the tree I’m watching are still holding on.

I’ve chosen another selection of the posters that hide our closed post office for you to see. They certainly brighten up that corner and give out positive messages about our town.

And today, the sun shone again and the wind had died down so we went to Trelissick Gardens and had a lovely stroll around with the warmth of the sun on us. The view over The Carrick Roads was, as always, beautiful and a new doorway had appeared, leading through to the historic walled garden. You may not be able to read the blackboard – it explains that they are going to replant the walled garden with fruit and vegetables again, a wonderfully positive project that we will follow with interest.

Cake, Roots and Spring Blooms

20 Feb

The cake I made for Valentine’s Day last week, for the volunteers at Community Roots, has been in the freezer as we couldn’t go. It went down well this morning!

Plenty of happy volunteer workers today and lots of salads being harvested.

Salad harvesting

Just look at the onions I sowed only 3 weeks ago!

Quite late this afternoon we decided to go to the gardens at Trelissick to see how things had changed in the ten days or so since we were last there. The Magnolia over the bridge was absolutely lovely, still some buds to open. The Daffodil Walk has lots of bright, open nodding daffodils (and on one, a bee! A rather blurry photo as the wind was blowing.) We managed to find all that were advertised on the Welcome board. Click on any photo for the bigger version.

Trelissick, Singing and Decorations

12 Dec

The Suitcase Singers sang our hearts out in Trelissick Gardens this afternoon with an enthusiastic audience up for joining in and having fun.

Afterwards we went into Trelissick House to see the gorgeous decorations, delightful Christmas trees, one at least in every room, and some quirky dancers. Click on any photo in the gallery for more detail.

Posy, Raindrops and Bloom

14 Apr

It’s six years since our lovely friend, Bill-next-door left us and this is the little posy I made to take next door to S – rosemary for remembrance, muscari for the rich blue colour that Bill loved and sweet scented wallflowers to remember his love of puddings. You can read more about this remarkable man here.

The raindrops on the rich velvety red of the tulips are very lovely.
