Trelisick is an historic garden near to Falmouth that has been in the care of the National Trust since 1955. There is a house which has recently opened but only a few rooms. The house has fabulous views! The garden is celebrated for its rare shrubs.
First stop on arrival? Well it was flipping hot .... a drink!
I decided I take the dSLR as I might see plenty of butterfiles and maybe a hummingbird hawkmoth and saw very little!! However I had plenty of feathered visitors as I had a drink,
It was hot and I found a nice shaded seat on the above path so I sat and read for a bit.
I was going in the house but decided that if I was too late at the tearoom I may find a long queue. This was a good decision as I walked straight in and out, 20 minutes later they were queuing out of the door!!
Not bad but a little generous by the duck...
So back to the house.
So I found myself a nice shaded seat (view below) and read.
This little chap appeared, hopped in to the undergrowth and reappeared with a pear core which he quickly demolished.
Robin and Squirrel on same bench opposite me!
Nice day! If a little too hot for my tastes.

Beautiful photos Pete - looks a superb place to visit. Too hot here too :( Even the robin in your pics looks hot. Have spent the day in front of a fan reading The January Man by Christopher Somerville (lovely book - recommended if you haven't read it!).
Looks very beautiful both in, and the view from the gardens. Love all the birdy visitors and the squirrel.. twas a tad on the warm side!!
thanks both
