    My boy went down to St Ives, but couldn't get his easel on the park and ride bus, too many emmets :hate-shocked:

          Loving all your pictures. White is a colour I must utilise more in the garden, very tranquil indeed. Quite a few garden tragedies due to tonight and last night's heavy, heavy showers. Lots of snapped stems & flooded pots, as the guttering decided it couldn't handle the in flow. Must count ourselves lucky though, 2 years ago our family business was under water and lots of machinery damaged. The fire brigade were a god send in helping pump out the excess. Really feel for those in Coverack.
