The granite bench tucked away in a corner of the courtyard as a viewing place for the parterre
St Micheal's Mount yesterday lunchtime across the garden
The house is nearly concealed by the date palms now
In the car park the date palms reach for the sky - that beautiful blue sky
Spud cat
Ollie always finds the best places to soak up the sunshine
A statue tucked away on a far path
The Olive trees behind the Italian garden the light on?
Looking back towards the house and courtyard
Those Olive trees again the Irises are just starting to come up around their trunks
Bulbs pushing through the dark soil
The pots of Boxus that line the terrace
The euphorbia is doing well with its acid green blooms with the Italian garden behind
Shadows and lines
soft textures of the cobbles
just for the joy of that beautiful blue sky
long January shadows across the lawn
Will this Echium make it through the winter - it will flower quite early if it does
Pots in a courtyard
Little details that make a garden for me
The sunset over Perranuthnoe from the terrace
And finally looking out from the lawn through the Cordylines
I was a fabulous day here in Cornwall yesterday with bright sunshine and powder blue skies - a great day in fact for my monthly look at the garden to see what is happening. I try to put a group of photos up each month to show how the garden is progressing and these are the things that caught my eye yesterday - I hope you enjoy the January stroll through the courtyards, across the lawns deep into the little paths that wind about, the cats competing for position in the sunshine and of course the wonderful sunset to finish the day from the lawn

We have just thoroughly enjoyed our walk around your garden via your blog spot. Look forward to next months photo's. Many many thanks
ReplyDeleteI guess you just don't get the frosts that we do up here. That echium! aaah.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a stand off or a little teasing by Spud cat of Ollie, a picture speaks a thousand words.
The light in the south west is really uplifting, isn't it. Jolly freezing up here!

Thank you K&T I love to hear from people reading the blog - I hope to do a walk each month this year to see how the garden looks with the season.
ReplyDeleteMrs GH you are so right - a full scale cat fight developed today and Charles had to separate them with a broom!Spud went from "tormenting toad" to out and out monster - a visit to the vets me thinks, for that young man! Yes we are lucky with the temperature -not sure I could live any where else now - too cold!
