Spotted the cruise ship Queen Victoria early this morning & noticed that she had turned into the bay
Jim took Wooster up the hill
Lovely calm morning
She came further in to the bay
The with the sun on her stern she set off to go round Lands End and head for Cobh - Eire
I decided that I really wanted to go for a leisurely limp around Enys Gardens (Near Penryn) to see the Bluebells - so off we went and found it much more easily than before - we have been known to go round and round the lanes
Wooster spotted these Guinea fowl the moment he got out of the car
Lots of lovely colour, although Enys Gardens are not so well known for Azaleas and Rhododendrons
Long queue to get in and they had only been open for 30 minutes
Super sheltered spot
Huge Pieris
Stunning flowers
Thinks that this is Camassia - there were lots of them alongside the path
This is why people flock to Enys Gardens in the Spring - this area is called Parc Lye and as you can see the Bluebells are out in the open rather than in Woodland.
Shadows from the trees across the Bluebells
Just love the blue with the pale green of the new foliage
Sun going behind a cloud
Bluebells and Ramsons (Wild Garlic)
Not sure but it was beautiful -
we then called in for a coffee/tea/cake or sandwich and a nice chat about dogs and knees ! As soon as I stood up I realised that stopping for a rest hadn't been a clever idea - pain killers and Voltarol, not much help, but off we staggered again
Down to the pond
Really my favourite part - just love these Primula Pulverulentas
These Tree Ferns have never looked like this before - they've always had plenty of fronds
As we were making our way back towards the car I spotted this lovely view of the people admiring Parc Lye - looks rather like a painting
Heading back to the house
and it really was busy
We then stopped off in the free park in Helston and Jim took Wooster for a run as he's been on his lead for hours
Enjoying himself
River Cober that runs through the Loe & out to sea
Back home to watch the Grand Prix - or in my case fall asleep, then Lucky Wooster went back up the hill again - this Hottentot Fig is on our lower wall - all the ones above the drive are dead

Still nice and fine
Sorry to know you are still in pain. What a time you have had in the past week. Hope the beautiful scenes helped cheer you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the weather was lovely for your visit to the bluebells. Those photos are the best I've seen of bluebell fields and I've been viewing quite a few on blogs etc. lately. Thanks so much for sharing with me here on a cold and cloudy day in Melbourne.
Take care, Sue.

The Bluebells have been there for 100 years I gather - some years they are better than others - depends on the weather. It has been a horrible and hectic week and I was also in the middle of the reams of emails about the sale of Oamaru. Hopefully we're almost done with that now and Wooster is enjoying his lovely walks with Jim. Hope your weather cheers up a bit. Sue
