Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!



A new day and a new year -2010! As children did we think of life in 2010...........only with space ships circling over head probably but now it's hear and perfectly normal - ah well back to Orson Wells.

The bay looked beautiful yesterday morning from my kitchen window and the lawn is looking pretty good too for the time of year



The mount in the low light of winter could be straight from a fairy tale with the turrets spiralling out of the very rocks of Cornwall mysteriously hinting of the time of legends. But that was yesterday..............

Today we woke up to a sparkling world of a dozen artful grotto's, the spectacular transformation that only comes in Cornwall every now and again



The Parterre in the centre of the courtyard misted by the mornings magic



The box of the Parterre hedges were transformed












and with the sun the moment was gone until the next time.

A very Happy new Year to everybody! Christine and Charles

    I am always in Awe of where you get to live. It is so beautiful there. I sometimes get on Google Earth and just take a virtual trip to your garden :-)
