10 years today.
The Tamar Valley was historically one of the UK's major commercial flower growing areas, mostly on small-scale market gardens. Large quantities of flowers were transported down the Tamar & on the Tamar Valley Line before being transported by train to Covent Garden.
There are still market gardens in the valley, but nothing like the scale there was a century ago.
That heritage is celebrated every year during the Daffodil Festival at Cotehele House #Cornwall #flowers #bloomscrolling
It looks like a squat, cuddly little bear, chirps like a bird and has webbed feet for swimming – meet the very rare and bizarre wild dog that's like no other

Have felt a little out of sorts this week. Goings on in the Middle East not helping.
Back on track today with this week's library haul 📚

To accompany the Beryl Cook exhibition, a number of larger than life sculptures of characters from her paintings have been installed across the city.
We found the bowling lady by the bowls club on The Hoe and the sailor on a bench outside The Dolphin Inn, Cook's local.
