Today I looked at a wonderful art exhibition by Julia McKenzie. Her great-grandfather was born in St Mawes, near Falmouth. His profession was captain of a big sailing ship - a three-master. His sea voyages took him between Britain and South America, carrying shiploads of coal or meat. Sometimes there was ice in the sea. Every day he wrote a diary. Julia has illustrated his journeys - in paint, paper and clay.

There is little traffic if the roads are closed! There are many inaccessible places, but you can absorb the peace and quiet. We have fresh water too. Sometimes it runs in the road. There are many springs by the road (or in the road) after the rain, and the water must run downhill. In summer we'll have water shortage.

Perhaps the colour yesterday was gold for a short time, but today the sky is grey, as grey as ashes. I have to look for other colours. Here's one red camelia among the leafless branches of the pear tree. There are more flowers on the pink camelia too. I am worried about my flowers. Spring flowers are coming before the winter has finished. The winter has hardly started. The weather will get colder. There will be frost, perhaps snow, and my flowers will...
