Truro is the principal town(or should I say City) of the South west peninsula......It is complete in every way.....shopwise,cathedral,Roseland peninsula and the Helford river.It is also flat unlike Helston.Between the two I would choose Truro.
Just been looking at the images of Truro, it's bigger than I thought and the cathedral is massive, I will mension Truro to my mum and dad, thanks meadowland2
We used to take our seven children to Devon or Cornwall in the summer as they loved swimming in the sea and my husband loved sailing. The shopkeepers used to tell me that they could get isolated in the winter by heavy snow! I was so glad I worked so hard in the garden this morning as it did rain in tthe afternoon and there was a good film on BBC!.
Oh it is icy today, still only 1degree outside. If it stays sunny and dry I may venture out i the afternoon but it is definitely too cold to work in or take photographs. Forecast is for tomorrow to be even colder too. I imagine it will be a real shock to the system after three weeks in Madeira for my son and his partner! Brrrr.
Yes it's extra layers day today,Marion........although the sun is bright the Temp is low....Pool completely iced over......This will seem like the Arctic for your family returning.
Good morning brilliant sunshine after a frost-misted start, temp just reaching 0° . Cold out there!
Reading about gooseberries as thinking to train them as a cordon before I winter prune the bushes. The reasoning being easier to pick . Has anyone had experience of this method?
I'd love to find that out too BizzieB as I have 3 or 4 established gooseberry plants on one of my plots and i quite like the idea of cordon training them
I shall do some research on gooseberries later, but i could not resist the sunshine so all bundled up I took my camera on safari round the garden and could not believe how exciting it was - so much beauty but the onl
y regret it was so silent. It was too cold for the birds. BUT I still have blue fungi, my evergreen ferns are superb in all shades of green too, my apple mint is growing well, and my prunus, now budding, looked like fairyland glinting in the sunshine now the frost has melted. Lots more to follow.
The pansies and primulas were looking a bit bedraggled so I did a bit of deadheading, but the arum leaves in the slate scree are beautiful and the heuchera leaf colouring and the winter jasmine is still flowering.

Lots of flowers on Jan 18th too, cyclamen, snowdrops, irises, hebe, and more to follow.

And still my gazanias are flowering.
