There is a large National Trust house on the bank of the River Fal, near Feock and the King Harry Ferry. It is called Trelissick. The exhibition was not in the house but in The Stables. (There are no longer any horses.) It's a beautiful place for an exhibition. Here are some pictures by my friends. Many people looked at them, and many were bought. A painting is a good holiday souvenir.  Henwyn teleryow   Place names FAL (River) (Fala 977 - c1540)  Dowr ...

There's grass and trees all around and I can see green plants, lots of plants. Sometimes it rains in the night and refreshes vegetation. Our house has thick walls made of stones. It was built by a butcher as a storehouse for his meat. Therefore, it is never too hot in summer, even if there is a heatwave.

There are workmen rebuilding an old wall, an old Cornish hedge. Many stones are needed, many new stones. Some of the old stones can be saved and used again, but some of them are weakened. There is a lot of broken stone to be taken awa...
