Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Sophie is nearly six months old now seen here standing at the top of Ednovean farm with Penzance across the Bay beyond her

Our horses exploring the new white world




It all started so well with the sunset reflected in the Blue room's french doors last night

alas by the morning the Parterre had a little winter magic




and the cobbled path to the garden was iced with snow




Echiums can be surprisingly resistant..........(I hope!)




and the date palms have seen it all before


The garden room at the bottom of the courtyard






It all started so well with a nearly stunning sunset best seen reflected in the Blue room doors and progressed to a chilly night but we had no inkling somehow that we would wake up to snow this morning. The weather men keep intoning the wettest, the warmest, the coldest and then adding the magical term seventeen years...................Meanwhile, Ollie Cat has taken up residence in the Laundry basket and will not be coming out unless he has some guest to entertain!

  1. Ednovean looking so lovely in all weathers. Must seem strange to the youngsters when the weather is so very different to just a few weeks ago. Sorry we can't help you out with your "muck mountain" I can just imagine what Tilly would think of it spread around the garden !Sue

  2. Thaks Sue - I hate to think what the frost has done last night though. The youngsters were slipping suspiciously as they ventured out this morning - it's that seventeen year thing the weather men say.
    I suppose I could make the muck mountain into a garden feature - the ultimate compost heap but I'm sure Tilly wouldn't smell very much once you got used to it!!Christine
