Tregongeeves is all set for the Halloween Half Term Fun. Next week younger visitors are invited to take part in a pumpkin carving competition (I will be carving mine over the weekend!). There is also a Half Term Quiz to see how much the young guests can find out about Tregongeeves - some quiz clues might even be within the blog!
Judith and John continue to enjoy their trip away in South America - tomorrow they fly to Brazil having been in Peru. In the meantime their children Alison and Richard are holding the fort at Tregongeeves - anyone arriving this weekend will get to meet Alison if you have not met her before.
There are lots of things for you to enjoy across Cornwall during half term. Why not visit Halloweden at The Eden Project - their ice skating rink is now open, a real winter treat. Or if you fancy braving ghosts then why not visit Pendennis Castle near Falmouth followed by a trip to the Maritime Museum.
If animals are more your thing then a trip to Newquay Zoo would be a great day out. There are also a whole host of seals awaiting your visit at the Seal Sanctuary near Helston.
Talking of animals Alice the Shetland Pony is on stable rest after a run in with a much bigger horse. She is healing well and loves company in the stable. In fact since she has not been able to roll around in the mud she is looking rather glamorous! The chickens are in the dog house so to speak at the moment as they are not laying many eggs - maybe they are missing Judith?! Jack and Ginnie are being looked after by Mo & Eric while Judith is away so you may see them around the cottages if you visit. Jack has had a short back and sides and looks more like a puppy now rather the old fella he is.
We hope you enjoy half term where ever you are.

Judith has disappeared!
Hello,
Sorry there has been a bit of time since our last post - the summer has flown for us all down here, especially since the new addition joined the family. However Granny Judith has eagerly volunteered to look after her new grandchild every week which will mean more regular updates about what is happening here and around Cornwall. However as I write this blog today I have a wriggly little person my lap which means i can't put in the usual links!
Anyone visiting in the next few weeks will notice a big difference - no Judith! Judith and John are on a very well deserved holiday in South America - a real adventure of a holiday. Mo and Eric are living in the house and have the massive task of looking after all the animals including the dogs Ginnie and Jack whilst they are away.
This week Cornwall has been bashed by the weather like the rest of country - this morning on the news we heard that some of Mevagissey has been flooded. Despite the wind and rain, it is still really warm here and in between the showers we have had glorious blue skies.
Cornwall has so much on offer even when it is raining - locally there is the ship wrecked centre in Charlestown - the museum that time forgot! Or you could get an annual pass for The Eden Project and visit the Biomes on a rainy day and go back another day to enjoy the outside gardens. St Austell also has a bowling alley and lovely cinema. Or for you brave souls don your water proofs and visit the Camel Trail. We did this Sunday - if you start from the Borough Arms, which has a huge car park and does a great carvery you can walk through the sheltered valley admiring the Camel Valley Vineyard.
