February Tree, Bunk Beds and The Hungry Bookworm

1 The sun shone for a while today and I managed to get this month’s photograph of my tree. It is still standing in a big puddle of water but it is still standing. Nearby now there is a bubbling spring which wasn’t here before all the rains. Next month I hope there will be some sign of greenery on the branches and the ground will be drier.

2 I do enjoy getting the bunks beds ready for the Grandchildren. They are coming to stay over half term, some of the time without their parents for the first time. These duvet covers were on the spare beds in my parents’ home so are really rather special. They only come out for special people!

3 I’m off to the first meeting of a new Bookgroup tonight, The Hungry Bookworm in Falmouth – all about cookery books and recipes and tasting food – sounds right up my street! We were served these delicious tapas: Hummus, Dukkah and Burekas.

Morning Dew, Portreath and Making up the Beds

25 Jul

1 Beautiful dewdrops on the tiny hairy buds of the courgettes. We’re hoping the sun will get them flowering soon. They were planted late after the gales destroyed the earlier planting.

2 Portreath this morning was beautiful – the water turquoise, the sun glorious and lots of colour in the pavement flowers. I have shown you the lion sculpture before but the mosaics were glinting so beautifully in the sun that I had to show you again!

3 We’ve just finished making up the beds for KJ and the Shanticot for the children and the spare room bed for P&V who will be staying here for their last weekend before going to London for two days and returning to Atlanta on Wednesday. It is truly beautiful to have so many people back in our house for the weekend.
