Hello,
Well we are being hit by the same weather as the rest of the UK - wet, cold and very windy with a little bit of hail thrown in for good measure. It has meant that any outside work has come to a halt for a day or so as everywhere and everything is just so wet. In fact this morning is quite odd; I arrived in daylight first thing and now I can barely see outside it has gone so dark.
All that aside spring is really starting to show signs of being just a whisker away with bulbs popping up everywhere and the precious carpets of snow drops squeezing through the damp soil. Cornwall is so lucky to have some stunning gardens which really are at their best throughout April and May. Within walking distance we have The Lost Gardens of Heligan which if you visit at no other time is an absolute must in May. The Eden Project can be accessed via bus, car or for those that don't mind a challenge and the odd hill - bike! Eden is really beginning to mature now and the outside gardens which have a stunning tulip display are in my book equally as good as the famous greenhouses.
Closer to home we are starting to see the daffodils coming up, hopefully they will produce a good show for our guests at Easter. Little Winnick HQ - better known as the office out the back is really starting to take shape now and nearly all the painting is finished in the office area. The next big job us to give the toilet blocks a freshen up - but we will wait for a break in the weather for than job. Other winter jobs include making sure our training is all up to date so today I am off on a first aid course - at least I will be warm and dry.
