Three Trunk Tree, Hedgerow Flowers and Scrub Caps

We love this moss covered tree with its three trunks as we go up the lane to the Flat Lode Trail.

Cornish hedgerows are so lovely in Springtime.

I’ve sewn 24 buttons onto the scrub caps (for the wearers to attach  their masks and so avoid the soreness that elastic can cause behind the ears) and they are now ready for collection.

Cornish Hedges, Another Poppy and Empty Nest

1   Cornish hedges change colour as the season progresses. We start with the pale yellow of Primroses, then the glorious haze of blue from the masses of Bluebells and now the hedges are pink – with Rhododendrons, Pink Campion and Foxgloves.

2   I love the way Poppies are all crinkled and crunkled when they first emerge from their furry cages.

3   The Blue-tits on BBC’s Spring Watch flew the nest today and so have our fledglings but we are not sure when, just that the nest is now empty, just a bit of nesting material stuck around the edge as evidence – and my photo to be seen here.
