On the cusp of a new year, we've decked the halls and sprinkled Christmas magic throughout Callestock Farm. We're also looking forward a brand new decade in Cornwall, and here are just a few of the reasons why the roaring twenties are kicking off in style.
Start a new tradition this Christmas and make your own stunning wreath, with a simple, loose, organic arrangement. Head outside and gather fresh greenery from your garden before following Liz's simple steps to craft a festive piece that will brighten any front door.
The golden colours and fruit harvest are here, as Autumn arrives at Callestock Courtyard with a flourish. The apple tree in the orchard is laden with fresh crispy fruit, the pumpkins are ready to burst and the Autumn leaves are fluttering down like confetti - we love it!
Go home with more than a tan and a tub of Rodda's clotted cream next time you visit Cornwall, by attending one of the craft workshops available in the county. You don't need experience - just an enthusiasm to create something beautiful. Stained glass art, pottery, watercolours and even screen printing are all on the menu. Take a closer look at creative craft workshops and craft fairs to enjoy in Cornwall.
Liz's freshly baked Cornish cream teas bring praise from around the globe ;-) The Rodda's Cornish clotted cream is made using milk from Callestock Farm's very own cows, the scones are baked fresh in Liz's kitchen, and the strawberry jam is made locally. So when the lovely lady who makes the jam stopped making preserves, desperate times called for desperate measures - time for a fruity new jam recipe in the Callestock kitchen.
Visiting Cornwall by car opens up hundreds of secret beaches, pretty fishing villages and quirky cafes. But you don't need four wheels to see the very best that the county has to offer. Be inspired to try a new approach to exploring the countryside, valleys and beaches.
Want a Cornish pub that delivers good food, great views and delicious drinks? Here are seven that have earned a place on your must-see list. You're welcome.
So why not spend Christmas or New Year in Cornwall. You could spend Boxing Day on the beach and do what Liz did last year. The sun was shining and it was actually quite warm! Thank goodness it was, as Liz had decided to take part in the Boxing Day swim at Perranporth to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. So who will join her this year??
As we move into September, Cornwall calms down after a busy few weeks. The kids return to school, caravans head home, and the county breathes a deep sigh of relief after another successful season, but the holidays for some continue into September.
It's been another action-packed few weeks at Little Callestock Farm, with the arrival of a very special four-legged guest, staying with the cows, a visit from some feathered friends, and the harvest of our newest fruit trees.
