A literary tale.

This is the view crossing the river Fowey. Just to the right of the road is the house that inspired Manderley in the book, Rebecca. Daphne Du Maurer lived here and her love of Cornwall helped create many of her  book settings such as Jamaica Inn and Fisherman"s Creek.

Mr Freeze

Well, failure in mid march and we have icicles hanging off bridges.  The wind is biting and I will be wrapped up warm today.

Nature keeps on dazzling.

I love what happens around us when we are least expecting it. A lone Heron, casually flapping his huge wings overhead when we were collecting firewood yesterday. Today,  a fat blackbird sitting on the top of a hedgerow.
I was laughing at Mrs Bun racing comicly across the garden till she savagely pecked Betsy. Although I shouted at her she ignored by admonishment and racing over for food. Bird brain!
