Cornwall Cottages Diary

October - From the Farm

September has been a glorious month in Cornwall - lots of lovely warm sunshine and blue skies. There is a wonderful show of sunflowers in front of the farmhouse and the flavour of the blackberries is superb. Have managed to make some bramble jelly – nothing like it with some Rodda’s clotted cream and a scone or two.

Talking of food, had an excellent outing to the Cornwall Festival of Food and Drink in Truro. The displays of cheeses, chocolates, cakes, jams, fish, ciders and wines etc. were absolutely amazing and a lot of tasting took place!

On the farm we haven’t got into the tedious business of gathering up the fallen leaves yet as they are very late turning due to the gorgeous weather.

Cornwall Surf Raises Awareness

Some of Britain's top surfers have signed up to help raise awareness of the National Trust's conservation work along the Devon and Cornwall coast.

The new Surf Ambassadors will ride with the National Trust oak leaf on their boards, as well as championing the work of the National Trust through school visits and surf sessions encouraging people of all ages to get into the water.

Robyn Davies, National Trust surf project co-coordinator, said: "Protecting the environment is important to most surfers and these guys jumped at the chance to say it more publicly.

"Having the support of these five Surf Ambassadors is great news and they‘ll help tell the story of the National Trust’s work on the coast and what it means to them as year-round users of the sea," added the five times British Women’s Champion.
