The south coast of Cornwall is the mildest climate in mainland Britain. Here are some photos I took on my recent trip to Cornwall when we popped into Trelissick Gardens for lunch. The National Trust do a great soup lunch.
I was amused to hear a government minister describe the National Trust as a radical left organisation, the National Trust???, because they oppose his plans to allow the Corps to concrete over places like this.
Very pretty. Gorgeous arrangements too, the first and last especially. They look more exotic than we might expect even from the far south west, and I can imagine gigantic lizards moving about in the distance.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but think "prehistoric" myself, especially third pic down. What a place to do lunch, thanks for sharing.

No, I haven't. It sounds mysterious. It's an excellent name too.
