Friday 18th June

Another glorious day with clear blue skies and a heavy dew in the morning. Drove to Glendurgan Garden near Falmouth which has been built around three valleys


and slopes down to the hamlet of Durgan on the Helford River where you can sit on rocks and watch the world go by - a lovely walk.Very close by was the Ferry Boat Inn down on the river at Helford where we stopped for a coffee – beautiful views across the river and hillsides.

Lunchtime took us to the Norway Inn on the main road to Truro for a snack – very nice pub with St Austell Ales. Then it’s off to Trelissick Gardens in Feock near Truro – it’s been designed around a valley that slopes down to the river Fal.

There’s plenty of colour for June but is probably at it’s best in the spring. As we walked down to the river, we picked up a locally made ice cream and ate it watching the car ferry cross the river.
We stopped at Truro on our way to Pete’s at Crantock and had a little wander around the town. Not a huge attraction. Then it was off to Pete’s for dinner and to watch a dreadful England performance against Algeria who I had predicted that we would beat about 12-0, sadly we drew 0-0.
