Postcard from a Seaside Garden in May

Forget the Chelsea Flower Show, it’s all happening here in the Cornwall garden. The sun has returned and the repairs to the storm-damaged walls and paths have been completed

And we have had a special visitor to inspect the works while newly self-seeded plants have popped up everywhere.

Old favourites, Rosa and Wisty, have burst into life now that the storms have abated, and their delicate fragrances concentrate by the late afternoon .

But it’s all go in the bay where the gulls hassle the local fisherman as he catches the key ingredient for our local pub’s magnificent fish pie.

On Louisa’s Lament, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has just posted a lovely review -see link below. And as for the next book on hospital gang warfare, the plot and characters have been sharpened and the scenes have been finalised. Now the drafting work begins.
