The First Wild Orchid of the Year

A great pre-breakfast walk up Cotley Hill this morning. Wisps of mist hanging around the valley below us, huge numbers of Cowslips, patches of Milkwort, violets on the fringes of the woods on the flanks of the hill and, joy of joys, the first early purple orchid of the year.

This bodes well for our guests who will be in Cornwall over Easter. The wild flowers will be in full flow.
