Geoff and Sabby, St
Cleer
  A warm welcome awaited us this
morning when we pulled up the drive, in the pouring rain, we were soon settled
in the kitchen with Geoff and Sabby, a good cuppa in hand. Instantly I was drawn
to side window - the simple pleasure of watching the birds
at the feeder - having stared for so long at birds of prey, pelicans,
frigates and all manor of ‘foreign birds’, to watch our English chaps was
mesmerising.
   From the window at the back, robins, sparrows, tits, chaffinches even a
squirrel.
  A tail-less
escapee from a hunt breeding farm surprised a
local.
  After the rain stopped we went for a
smashing walk on Bodmin Moor. When we got back we took a turn around the garden.
The handsome cockerel pulled himself up to his full
height, puffed himself up and shouted about it.
 For the benefit of
his laaaaydeeeees.
   A bimble through the orchard, with a
few late bluebells and
daffodils.
 From here you get a
lovely shot of the
house.
 Next was a bimble around
the front garden.
   Fantastic to watch a heavy bee bumble about his business.
   Bear admires the formal garden, Sabby and Bear stop for a chat at the Wendy House, Sabby goes to feed
the
fish.
 I go to the gate to
capture this house that exudes family love. The luckiest grandbabies in the world come here to
visit.
 Closer, the real beauty
shows with the best view of the house.
 Time
to meet Shelly / Bob.
 Quote
from Sabby, “The tortoise came to us called Shelly but I call it Bob because his
head bobs in and out and it winds Geoff up.” We giggled
and watched her / him tuck into his afternoon
treat.
  He / she loves to have his / her chin scratched and enjoys foraging in the borders.
I gather some flower pictures to take back with me.
We had to get a picture of this amazing paella pan, bigger than Beez lounge. Delicious.
After supper the storm clouds gather.
Lots of mirth as Bear sets his tiny camera up on huge tripod supplied by Geoff, it was worth it as it happens.........
ALL IN ALL A VERY SPECIAL TIME
