It’s official… Spring has arrived in Cornwall.
We are often spoiled with breathtaking scenery and gorgeous golden-sand beaches, but we are also treated to an extended Spring season following its early arrival in Cornwall.
And here’s why…
The arrival of Spring is announced by Cornwall’s Spring Story once each Magnolia tree in six of the Great Gardens of Cornwall has at least 50 blooms, which this year occurred on Monday 27th February.
Something lovely to get you in the festive spirit.
At this time of the year, it is difficult to get excited about a night out. With the cost-of-living crisis looming over us all and world affairs which are sometimes too scary to contemplate.
If, like me, things have been a little overwhelming recently, then let me share a little secret.
I recently visited The Lost Gardens of Heligan for an evening of what can only be described as a little slice of heaven. The light displays for their current event, Heligan Night Garden are truly something to behold.
Happy New Year!
It’s that time of year when, after those heady 12 days of Christmas, the fun grinds to a sudden halt. It’s back to those 7am starts, trudging to and from work/school in the semi-light. Someone will ask: “What’s the weather like outside?” and there will only ever be one answer: “Grey.”
In light of his failing health, a Buddhist monk grew fearful that his garden of rare camellias would have no one to look after them once he passed away; believed to have as many as 100 to 300 species, the Japanese flowers are commonly known for their spirals of dainty pink petals, not dissimilar to delicate pinecones that flutter in the breeze.
