Dear Diary Saga - bits and pieces


Llanhydrock Cornwall - fascinating - spent best part of a day browsing around the approx 51 rooms - they have a tell to tale no doubt - equal to any from Downton Abbey! - the grounds were magnificent.





I have posted pics of the Halloween trial which I found really entertaining - click on the text to read all about it - I never did find one and two.


This little poem was found framed in the kitchen area - leaflets were available - click onto read



The Llanhydrock Parish Church is in the grounds - beautiful stained glass windows


We ended the day with a visit to Looe and Polperro - both as picturesque as ever - tea and cakes were sampled at the Larrson cafe - worth a call if you are down that way

On to Polperro - quite a while ago we bought a painting from here - so this little fishing village is very dear to us and it has not changed so very much - in the pic above - the house on the cliffs with blue fascias - does anyone remember Rita Tushingham - well she used to live here

  1. I have just seen that I have made a spelling error - I have tried to adjust it to no avail - Llanhydrock should be Lanhydrock - it must be my welsh blood bursting forth1

  6. Hi

    Posie - we hadn't been to Cornwall for a while - it still holds that magic for me - we intend to go back again when we can

    Moly - The church on Bryer was very much like Trelystan - beautiful windows and lamps - and well looked after - inside and out

    Elizabeth - it was our first visit to the Scillies - I would like to spend more time there sometime .

    Jayne - my dog loves to chase through the long grass and flowers too
