  Thanks for the warm welcome Jonathan. I do have bumblebees on my mind at the moment since recently spotting them searching for homes in the garden (I think that's what theyr'e up to). I believe I would need to get something in place to attract them now. I've recently stuffed strawy dried grass etc into pots laid on their sides in dry places and pockets of same in dry thick centres of bushes although this may not be enough. Grateful for any advice

  Love the tables, beautiful. Welcome to the site. Instinctive is the way forward.

  Hi Cornwall Landscaping....thanks for welcome and comments about tables. I like "Instinctive is the way forward". Beats empiristic as far as working with nature's concerned I reckon. W evisit Cornwall regularly for breaks and lately for exhibitons too. St Ives for the arty bit, which is also convenient for getting around with my mum; her favourite spot and also an artist. Me and my husband hang around Hayle enjoying the walks and it's gentle, less commercial qualities. I know Hayle is undergoing regeneration much needed for local economy but I hope it isn't the usual, dominant prime real estate waterside themes that are happening around us in Bristol and Portishead. I hope they keep the lovely, long stretch of public gardens at the foot of the Towans side of the estuary.
  Ar. That was a lengthy response! but the Cornawall bit triggered and we are off to there soon.

  Hayle is great, the drive past the recycling place that takes you out to the place where the river meets the sea is one of my favourite places; the scene has been painted so much by John Miller amongst many others and yet hardly any tourists ever go there.

  YAY! Stunningly beautiful. We walk it every day during our stay. Last visit, dolphins were competing with surfers. I couldn't believe my eyes, running up and down the beach with my camera shrieking like a three-year old. I love the estuary too for it's wildlfe, shipwrecked bits and pieces and the delapidated industrial sites. I really don't want to see it tarted up but that will bring the tourists. The attached among our favourites spots. http://www.wessex.me.uk/Cornwallpics/Hayle_old_quay.jpg
