March - From the Farm...

March has come in like the proverbial lamb and at last Cornwall is starting to look its usual Spring self with all the famous Cornish gardens looking their best – camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias in full flower. Hedgerows bright with celandine's and primroses and the birdsong is fantastic. The mallards are back on John’s pond and the wild daffodils are just appearing in the bottom field.

Had a wonderful beach combing session when we went to Godrevy to see the seals. I found lots of sea glass one of my favorite finds. Lots of cuttlefish shells too – would be handy if I kept a budgerigar! Talking of cuttlefish, it was on the menu at Nathan Outlaw’s Restaurant at Fowey and it was absolutely delicious.

At last the grass is growing again and that pleases the cattle tho’ not the person behind the lawnmower!

The new stone steps near the back door starting to take shape. Richard is using some of the old granite around the place and they should look very good.

Marli molting AGAIN and the cats Sammy, Chloe, and Trevor out hunting in the milder weather .
