Going bananas in Cornwall, well not quite but my son has bananas growing in his garden, as can be seen in the photo above.
Another view of his plant.
Actually, the plant looks to be quite a cool dude.
Here's a better photo of the plant - they often look quite scruffy following high winds or heavy rainfall.
Moving on to one of our regular walks in Charlestown. A dog was waiting patiently by one of the cottage gates.
Looking down on some of the ships and boats in dock. This area has a gate to retain the water and there is also a leat to keep it topped up.
Looking west from the Charlestown harbour wall.
As the tide was out it was possible to walk further along the cliffside - carefully!
Lots of flowers on display as can be seen by the next six photos.
We walked past the Potting Shed but not much potting was going on.
Lots of apples though.
This is the sundial which gives this garden its name - the Sundial Garden.
There is much more to see at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, it stretches over 200 acres. From the gardens its possible to see the sea in the distance.
Below some fungi spotted on an old tree and ...
... shhh! finally the Mud Maid sleeps peacefully.
Thanks for visiting my blog - have an interesting weekend and week ahead ~ Mike.

Looking east at the harbour entrance. Visiting boats will have to wait for the tide to change.
Moving on now to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, another of our regular haunts.
