Sunday afternoon stroll at Cotehele

 It's never less than a pleasure to visit Cotehele House and walk around the gardens. There is always something different to see each time we come and this visit coincided with the early stages of the construction of the Chistmas Garland. Enjoy the photographs.

The house settling in for the winter.
A rather striking Maple/Sycamore that has yet to shed all of its leaves.
The low setting sun and the Mother Orchard. It was a just a few weeks ago that we were here with our friends, Glynis and Mike, for our annual apple scrumping visit.
A copper sculpture celebrating bees and their vital role in pollinating fruit trees, such as those in the Mother Orchard. 
Apple trees and shadows.
The pond in the Upper Garden, with the dogwoods catching the late afternoon light very nicely.
Those autumn leaves come tumbling down.................
An early flowering single camellia, with guest.
Looking over the herbaceous border, towards the viaduct at Calstock.
The Christmas Garland under construction.
This year it looks a little more colourful than last year. Coincidentally, the following clip from the BBC was put up today.
