May sunshine & showers....its been a real mixed bag weather wise... But the rain makes the Devon countryside so lush & green. My pots on the hill top & apple trees definitely have come to life in these last weeks. We enjoyed a wonderful, almost 9mile hilly walk... I totally dressed for March not May and was spending each few miles pealing off layer by layer cardi & coat. It turned out blooming hot. The Cornish countryside look so beautiful especially all the meadow land towards Calstock & harrowbarrow... We stopped off half way for tea & cakey at the National Trust property of Cotehele... The beautiful medieval property & gardens especially apple orchards are wonderful at this time of year.

Wonderful May wildflowers cheering up my cottage this week and some new-to-me books and lovely decorative mug...
Actually, looking over my photos on my phone I've realised how much walking I've been doing... Definitely helps when the weather is bright & the landscape so pretty. But I still keep having naughty bakery treats so I better walk some more tehe.
I've been enjoying spending time in the garden & listening to the swifts and swollows swooping over the hill top.
Enjoying strawberries & cream in the sunshineπ±πππ±π·ππ±ππ±![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JyPJpkqNvJsED3bD56Nqj1tPWn6I0SxyThqIQk0URg1CZeuTMEQHbFxITeL-oaBdySIMD3c9-C1XuqVhj_duaEvmwPugP4nL0IPnVB0h55k8lN9hEhvYW8UIuL9RDeQ2ywNswUoM1BlDTNGxv1fH-E6SXwcOPplafR3RhX-0GjOl2fUZXIEqddof/w640-h640/IMG_20220522_125906_285.jpg)

Making Jubilee inspired decorations... A little bit more painting too.
The community garden in our market town really is a beautiful sanctuary for me...
So beautiful at this time of year... Lots of allotment veg growing, wild flowers & roses starting to bloom π±ππ±ππ±ππ±
My dresser top this Monday morning just after the rush of family and then some quiet time with coffee & housework while it pours with May rains... π¦️π€️π§️☔
