3 This afternoon I found this, as yet unknown, flower in among the broad beans and their companion planting of Limnanthus (poached egg plant) Anyone out there know what it is?

1 The sun has shone on us today. We took the twenty minute ferry ride from Falmouth to St Mawes and the fourteen of us had lunch together on the terrace at The Rising Sun, looking out to the sea.
2 There were beautiful Agapanthus in abundance in St Mawes.
3 On the way home we had a family pilgrimage to Gwennap Churchyard to see the gravestone that inspired Dad to write his first novel, Jeremy Visick.
No photos today as one of the children fell asleep in the study as soon as we got home and is still there, expected to sleep all night! I’ll add them tomorrow.
1 I spotted these wild strawberries in the border early this morning – and the slugs haven’t got at them!
