Happy Easter weekend everyone!

 The Spring flowers are out in all their glory now in Cornwall. Last week I visited Godolphin.....

Beneath the ancient apple trees and all amongst the grass were snakeshead fritillaries and primroses

 

Inside the potting shed......

 cobwebs and nests

 

New buds emerging......

 verdant mossy banks

 

I climbed up Godolphin Hill and walked barefoot right round the perimeter, sensing the cool grass and the warm granite of the rocks as I trod. I lay under an oak tree, so stunted in its growth by the wind that I could rest my feet on its lowest branch and gaze up though the latticework of branches to the bluest of blue skies above.

My dear Dad passed away a month ago. These last few weeks have been a time of great sadness, and  reflection; of memories and gratitude for all that he gave to us, and the wonderful life that we shared together. x
