Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye; Look for…
sad news
I am very sad to announce the sudden death of my OH on Wednesday morning (29th October 2025) after a very brief illness. He’s often been mentioned in my posts and comments and occasionally there may have even been a photo. He was my best friend as well as husband for the past 22 years…
Six on Saturday | Not My Garden
And not Cornwall! Away from home this week means that my garden has had to fend for itself. I am sure that it will have changed dramatically by the time I return. And I hope there has been some rain or else some plants will be suffering. Meanwhile I have been visiting gardens whilst away…
Festival of Spring 2026 Week 7
Forget-me-nots come back year after year in my garden and they are not afraid to spread themselves around. Luckily they pull out easily when it is time to make space for some summer annuals. A sweet spring flower that has no intention of letting you forget about it. Dawn’s Festival of Spring
A Spring Walk along George V Memorial Garden
After visiting the library in Hayle each week I try to have a walk either to the beach if the tide is low, or alongside the Copperhouse Pool and the George V walk which is full of plants from all sorts of places, especially the southern hemisphere. Most of which would not survive only 4…
Six on Saturday | Wild and Windy
April always seems to pass so quickly, maybe because things in the garden are constantly changing. With each day of sunshine something new pops up. This week has been a strange one. Dry, with high cloud through until Thursday with an extremely wild and cold wind. Thursday was sunny with a beautiful blue sky but…
Festival of Spring 2026 Week 6
The papery, translucent, silver ‘coins’ of Honesty are instantly recognisable and it is often known as the ‘Money’ plant. Dawn’s Festival of Spring
Wordless Wednesday
Possibly the last instrumental track from David’s collection of music. For now. Remember you can listen to any of the albums on Bandcamp. No need to purchase. I thought I would finish with this one to showcase how versatile a guitarist he was. From traditional folk through to blues, slide, renaissance, jazz and much more….
Six on Saturday | April Showers
After a very cold weekend, including hail, the week began with sunshine and showers then fog and Cornish mizzle. The garden is blooming though with the perennials now making their way above ground along with the weeds. More tulips have been added to the mix. My Zen Patio is a riot of colour (feature image)….
Festival of Spring 2026 Week 5
Each April the OH and I would go for a walk on the hill to look for wood anemones. We knew where a particularly large patch grow so that’s the first place to look. This year I went alone and was extremely surprised to find many more wood anemones than usual. Due to the very…
Wordless Wednesday
Another instrumental track from David’s collection of music. In his own words: “Today, I felt somewhat metallic, so I went back to a tune I wrote back in the 70s. It’s been a while, so it’s a bit rough round the edges. (The fact that both the guitars are actually the same acoustic – a…
