The big makeover

Working on Jane's garden this week.   It's a big job but it'll look great when it's finished. Finished the garden and yes, it looks splendid.

Blistering Cornwall

A wonderful weekend in sunny Cornwall with the FT's. Arriving in the afternoon on Friday, we pulled up onto the drive, and a lovely cream tea was waiting for us before we headed to Flushing for a walk and watch Jerry take the helm on a local gig.  In the evening we chewed the fat and watched Hot Fuzz.

On a cold but sunny Saturday, we explored the spectacular Lizard, sketching, eating ice cream and drinking tea, finding time in the evening to take in the Porthleven Food and Drink festival, and wrapping up warm to fend off the biting wind, we watched the sun set from Godrevy Beach (on the walk back we spotted a herd of seals).

On Sunday we relaxed on Ghylly beach. Finding a sheltered spot we soaked up the April sun, SUPed around the coast - even stripping down to my board shorts.  It was a beautiful day, the sea sparkled under the hot sun, the billowing white sails of distant yachts flecked the azure sea, the air was filled with the soporific hum of the sea as we talked and laughed.

A blessed weekend.
