A few hours away from Penrose B&B spent at Pine Lodge Gardens near St Austell, all help to recharge our (Chris & Heidi's) batteries!
Have to say we do love going to these gardens, as they are very peaceful and you do come away with ideas for your own garden (what becomes of those ideas is another matter!).
It gives me an excuse to use my new camera and the pictures can be found on our facebook page (just click facebook). I am getting used to the macro setting and picked up a great tip from some people we met who were from a local camera club - for action shots of people or animals put the camera on continuous shots. My bit of added advice is get a tripod or similar to keep the camera still and this will help no end.
Back to Pine Lodge, again it is a place of different parts. The winter garden with a fantastic statue of a stag, was only created 4/5 years ago and in the past 2 years since we last saw it it has grown really well. There is a Pinetum (field with lots of pine trees), a couple of japenese type areas, a wooded area, a lovely patio area (Chris wants one of these - put it on the list my love!) lots of lawns and borders, a lake with lots of birds (hence the tripod and holding the camera still), a pond area, shop, nursery and cafe.
You always see a few pwople on your walk round, but never too many to get in the way!
