In addition to the masses of cowslips on the downs, this week the early purple orchids put in an appearance, closely followed by milkwort.
The seedlings in our greenhouse are ready to pot on, our hens are laying profusely, we have had two feeds of rhubarb so far and we have banked up the potatoes for the second time.
With all these signs of summer, we are certain to have a cold, wet week!
Bookings continue to flood in and Suzanne emerges blinking in the sunlight from time to time.
Today has been spent re-assessing the stretch of the Cornish coast path between Zennor and Morvah following Friday's incredible rainfall. The situation has been given extra impetus because we have a number of guests on this stretch right now! At least between Zennor and Treen, the inland diversion takes walkers through a bronze age field system which is, reputedly, the oldest man-made artefact in continuous use in the world - so not too shabby an alternative!

My walks with Footpath Holidays over the years were the BEST! We were treated like royalty, the scenery was spectacular and the people we met and walked with were wonderful!! O. Dorr - New Hampshire!!
