After a busy, busy morning, I spent the afternoon relaxing under a beautiful blue sky alternating between sewing up a tiny cardigan for our expected twin Grandbabies and reading. A Red Bottomed Bee was visiting the Cornflowers and the Courgettes have another flower. I have yet to cook a courgette flower…..
We saw something rare and beautiful this morning on the side of our dustbin – a newly emerged butterfly with its chrysalis right there beside it.
High pressure has brought us a glorious Autumn day today, warm enough to sit outdoors with Daughter No 1 who has arrived to help out for the next week. The sunlight pattern through the leaves was lovely enhanced by the last blue Cornflowers.
The sky has been the loveliest blue all day.
1 We went to the beautiful Potager Garden, Constantine, to meet a friend, to play and to have lunch. We wandered all over the place exploring, noting landmarks so that we could find our way back and hunting dragons. It’s a magical place for children (and their adults!)

Lunch was absolutely delicious, as always. Lots of the food is grown right there in the gardens. All the food is cooked freshly on the premises and is a treat for the eyes as well as for the taste buds!

3 This evening I’ve been to sing with the Three Choirs on a Ferry. All three of Claire Ingleheart’s choirs, about 100 of us, sang first in the courtyard in Trelissick Gardens and then we all, including our audience of about 200, walked down the hill to the King Harry Ferry where the choirs went on board, the audience on the slip way and we sang for an hour and were much appreciated by the friendly crowd which included KJ and Lucy, which was really lovely for me. Just as we finished we were all delighted to hear the beautiful sound of a pair of owls hooting to each other.
