Collecting Bucket

Hello Bonnie and Blue here - we are part of Peggy's back up teamWe have a beautiful field at our homeand every day friends come and play footballWe thought it would be a good way to help Peggy if we asked them to donate 20p every time they come to use the field so we put a bucket by the gate
We can have a quiet stroll around the wild flower meadow And a sit in the garden when we need a restWe get through a lot of footballsAnd after only a few months we are really pleased to have collected £24.50!!!!
Thanks to all our friends - Grace, Skye, Bracken, Monty,Maisie, Star, Hooch, Bessie and Walter. Sometimes we were too busy playing to take photos so not all of them appear here!

The bucket is still there and we will continue to collect for charity. Perhaps after September when the ride is over we will give the money for the Rescue Centre at Wheal Alfred.

Helston

The countryside is at its best at the moment, flowers are bursting out of the hedgerowsthe trees are coming into leaf

birds are singing their little hearts out and the days are getting longer.

My favourite season.

I cycled over to Helston, a good excuse to see if the bluebells are out at Godolphin, (they are just coming but will not be at their best for another week). The road to Godolphin is lovely with footpath signs and stiles tempting me to get off and walk but I was sad to be reminded that Monty is still missing.It must be terrible to lose your dog. I feel sorry for all bearded collie owners as people must look them up and down deciding if they are genuine or not.

I was also saddened to see a stoat lying dead in the roadI moved it to the side and then laid it in the grass wanting it to have some dignity in death. Roads and animals don't mix.

Helston is a nice town built on hills with old fashioned shops,
opes running between the buildings and cherry blossom shading steps climbing up to the bowling club. I was running out of time so took the main road back but was rewarded by this wonderful house with a wall full of pigeon holes, now mostly used by jackdaws.
