Pasty Shop, Railway Cutting and White Kitten

25 May

We had Cornish Pasties for lunch today, hot from Brays and K’s in Redruth and just perfect! On the wall in their shop (where you can watch pasties being made) is a delightful ‘mural’.

Walking home we go over a bridge that goes over the London to Penzance line and it is full of rhododendrons. (Some people think they are a menace but I love to see them brightening the journey.)

This lovely white kitten was in Kenneggy Nursery following us about and loving having her head tickled.

Magnolias, Rhododendrons and Azaleas

21 Apr

A good friend told us of the glory of a nearby garden and last Saturday we took our visiting Grandchildren for an adventure along the paths, by the pond and through the bamboo groves all the while surrounded by the amazingly beautiful display of blossom on the Magnolia trees, the Rhododendrons and the Azaleas. Click on any photo for an enlargement and if you are local to me, go along to Burncoose Nurseries, on the Redruth to Falmouth road  and visit their spectacular garden.
