The summer holidays are coming to an end but this area of Cornwall still has a lot to offer in the coming weeks. There is the Morval Vintage and Steam Exhibiton nearby which lasts throughout the Bank Holiday weekend, with loads of actvities, events and stalls.

September is a less busy month as the school holidays are over, but Looe has a walking festival where you can join walks in the area and for the first time this year, a music festival is being organised.

If you want a bit of fun and have an adventurous spirit, why not go to the nearby Adrenalin Quarry and try a ride across on the quarry on the UK's "longest, fastest, highest zip wire" advertised with the slogan "no age limit, no excuses". It's just 3 miles away.

I've recently had a couple of trips to the nearby Eden Project and each time there are new things to see and experience. It just never seems to stay still so it's definitely worth a return visit. It won't be long now before it will have the ice skating rink back again. How time flies!

Easter and the royal wedding

The weather continues warm and sunny and it looks like a good time to visit Cornwall. Plenty of time to enjoy the extra holidays, with Easter and the Royal wedding giving two long weekends in a row. Also, Padstow about 30 miles away will soon be celebrating its May Day event " 'Obby 'Oss" - always a colourful and fun day!

Over the next few weeks there will be a number of summer events in the local area, so we hope for settled weather so that they can be enjoyed to the best.

Nearby St Germans is having its Port Eliot festival and Looe is about to have its carnival week.

We have had some lovely sunny days and the countryside is looking beautiful with its new greenery. The daffodils down the drive have been wonderful but have now all but finished, so we await the blooming of the rhododendrons which always give a colourful display.

Our rescue ponies, Lordy and Barney, are shedding their winter coats and no longer so reliant on their feeds of hay as new grass is appearing. So, the winter is behind us and Spring has truly sprung! A good time to visit this part of Cornwall and enjoy all it has to offer.
