Well, February certainly started in a very un-Cornish way – snow! Almost unheard of in our normally mild winter. Some very puzzled looking cows wandering around. Cats, Chloe, Trevor and Sammy were not best pleased, but dog Marli was thrilled and couldn’t stop racing around in the white stuff. Garden birds much appreciated the snacks we put out and lots of finches queued up to enjoy the thistle seed. Ronnie spotted a couple of snipe feeding in the front field while on a major fencing repair job.
As for the flowers, the daffodils were stopped in their tracks and the poor little primroses had a fright. Now there are lots of daffodils out and the camellias are looking a picture.
Daughter home for a few days so went for a very cheering and cheerful lunch at the Blue Bar on the beach at Porthtowan which was bustling with walkers and the odd surfer. Am planning a trip to Eden Project with various nephews before end of February when the skating rink finishes there - that is if they can be distracted from the local skateboarding park.
Paintbrushes are at the ready preparing for the start of the season – won’t be long now.
