A treat for the ladies

Mawgan Porth now has it's own beauty salon ( see www.emeraldbeauty.co.uk) so that Dad can now offer a Mothers day/birthday/christmas treat in advance by looking after the family on the beach whilst Mum has a few hours personal pampering

A good year for the Wildlife

Whilst we've had a late Easter this year it looks like a good year for the wildlife. After being hounded off by the jackdaws last year, our local barn owl is back and we've seen him twice hunting the camping field (or perhaps he's been sent in from Hogwarts to tell me the grass is too long ! ), we've had the buzzards down on the old lamposts & the fox has been round to see if he can get at our new ducks. We've seen an otter locally (though fortunately for our brown trout he wasn't in our stream) and we've had deer in the rough ground adjacent to the stream. Badger sightings & scrapings are of course too many to mention - but our free-ranging guinea pigs must have had a scare one night because the badgers had obviously been digging and the cavies wouldn't come out of the hutch until they were chased out about midday
