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.

September - From the Farm

Here we are almost at the end of another busy summer – not quite the “barbecue summer” our forecasters were suggesting earlier in the year.

We have managed one or two most entertaining evenings down at the Minack Theatre and the family got down to the farm at the end of August. We had a delicious meal at Schooners restaurant literally on the beach at St. Agnes and ate in the window watching the waves coming in over the beach.

On the farm front, Arnie the bull will be going back home again shortly. I have posted a picture of him with his girls. The sixteen calves are all flourishing.
