Working on the Archavon Project is hard – but there are plenty of rewards.

Taking Polly, the dog, for a walk at lunchtime reminds me every day just how lucky I am to be living and working in the far west.

Meeting guests at the lovely Old Dairy and Tregiffian Barn this week and hearing how blown away they are by the joy of staying at Tregiffian is so fulfilling.

And then of course there’s Lafrowda, the rather left field arts festival that takes place during two weeks every July and helps bond the interesting community of St Just. The big day is Saturday 18th and we’re hoping for another hot sunny day.

Here are a few shots from the past few weeks.

Tegan and Polly, Nancherrow.

The Cape and Brisons.

Campion and foxgloves, Carn Bosavern.

Our favourite beach. Gwenver.

Walking down Cot Valley to Porth Nanven.

Polly at Levant.

Polly at pretty much the same spot, wondering who’s stolen Ross Poldark’s mines.
