Low Tide, A Swan and A Poster

My cousin and his wife, who live in Australia, are on a European tour and today came to visit us so off we took them down to the beautiful Pandora Inn in Restronguet,  for lunch. We were fascinated by the behaviour of the eighteen swans who left the water one by one in a long line, sploshing up the muddy beach to drink from some running water. Some time later, they all went back again.

They are much more elegant on the water!

On the way home, we stopped off to show D&T the beautiful Quaker Meeting House at Come To Good.  This poster echoed some of our conversation.

The following is an old photo and rather small but gives you an idea of the beautiful old building, built in 1710.

Twin Insurance, More Daffodils and Come-to-Good

Twin Insurance, More Daffodils and Come-to-Good

1   Found the “‘Twins” Insurance Certificate today, taken out on March 22nd 1977 when, at 8 weeks pregnant, I was absolutely certain that I was pregnant with twins but my GP thought I was stupid!

My lovely Mum and Dad bought us this policy as we couldn’t afford it and when our twins were born in September, the money bought us bunk beds for the two older children (one 4 and the other 20 months) and a tumble drier to dry all those nappies! For those much younger than I am, there were no scans then so no-one could be sure (except me!)  You can see a photo of my twins at nearly 2 on Feb 28th.

2   We went to Trelissick  today to find, by chance, the Cornish Daffodil Exhibition. My regular readers will know how much I love daffodils. Here there were more than I have ever seen before.

3   The Quaker Meeting House at Come-to-Good, near Feock, is a beautiful, peaceful place. The only sound was that of bird song coming through the open door. It’s hard to say what the place does for us but we both love it.
