Farewell, A Field and A Feather

It has been brilliant having LiveWire 3 writing the blog so beautifully while I have been under the weather. Thank you to those of you who commented for her to read. She has been delighted with the response to her stint as Guest Blogger.

We waved Farewell to the family this morning and I enjoyed seeing one of the GWR engines that is named for a member of the public who has done good works and ‘made a difference.’ Radio Cornwall also runs the scheme and Don Gardner,  who runs our local food bank, also has an engine named for him. I have yet to see that one.  You can just make us out as we wait to wave at the train.

I love the delicacy of feathers.

We love to watch this field as it is ploughed, sown, the crop grows and is harvested. I’ll try to get the whole sequence this year. It is near a garden centre that we like to visit so I should be able to get the photos.

Menu, Foxglove and Lupin

After just four days in London we have returned home today and for the first time ever have eaten in the Pullman dining car.  We were travelling with my brother and his wife who are visiting from America for a couple of weeks in Cornwall so it was a very special treat for us all. We had just a main course which was delicious.

Although we had only been away a few days, there must have been some strong winds as both a Lupin and a Foxglove had been broken off. I have brought them both in for our indoor enjoyment. The Runner Beans have grown almost to the tops of their canes, there is a mass of salad to eat, there are green Raspberries and a baby Tomato as well as some Sweet Peas in flower. Everything grows so quickly at this time of year!
