Sam and I are enjoying a few peaceful days down in one of our favourite spots; Fowey, on the South Coast of Cornwall after a few hectic (but very fun) months!

Teal, our labrador, has been enjoying playing in the sea and fetching sticks whilst we've enjoyed a glass of wine (or two!). Fowey is such a lovely place to come to relax - a bit like Salcombe but feels a bit more genuine and a little less commercial but just as pretty (maybe even a bit more!) with some fantastic restaurants in town as well as the fun 'Sam's on the Beach' restaurant just out of town at Polkerris.

Tomorrow we'll be visiting friends down in St Agnes with Ellie's godson 'Ozzie' and then will be heading back to Sherborne on Thursday to finish setting up our workshop in readiness for our first visit at the new premises in Sturminster Newton on Friday...

We're also looking forward to our next event at Mapperton house in a couple of weeks (www.plantfairs.com). Hope to see lots of you there!!
