Horses mushrooms, these here were found at Wadebridge but we also found some down The Lizard last week, must be all this inclement weather we’re having, seems a tad early for these little beauties to be popping thier heads though.

Hendra Holiday Park Newquay have a free charge up station for Electric Eco-Drive cars.

Hendra have a very active green policy, recycling bins are everywhere with posters displayed in many places throughout the Park informing guests of the environmental actions taken and the benefits achieved so far.

The Aramay Boutique tucked away at the bottom of Stippy Stappy, a steep terrace of old Cornish cottages in St Agnes.

The Aramay is hidden away in the lush green wooded valley that connects the main village with the beach. Take a cream tea in the garden next to the stream, its beautiful.

Imagineers a creative project taking place in the Camborne Pool and Redruth area during the summer of 2008.

Part of this project this evening is recreating the landscape of times past by lighting fires in engine houses across the great flat load, once the richest square mile on the planet.

Crowds gather at King Edward mine Troon, to witness this trip back in time.

Smoke is seen coming from the first engine house and a roar from the crowd standing in the summer sunshine perfect for the event.

As daylight fades from the sky people gather all over Cornwall for the traditional Cornish midsummer bonfires, these photos are from the top of Chapel Carn Brea where the first fire was lit. The next fire was lit on a hill near Madron. Other fires were lit at Castle-an-Dinas and Rosewood Hill until a firey chain could be seen through the 80 mile length of the Cornish peninsula right up to the Tamar border. The event has been hosted by the Old Cornwall Society since 1920.

In ancient times the fires held on Midsummer Eve, just after the solstice, would have celebrated high summer, with the sun at its peak of its power and glory in the heavens, and promising ripeness to the maturing fruits and grain. They were supposed to bring on the crops, and animals, such as rabbits and pigs, and sometimes criminals as well, were sacrificed in the flames, these days just the traditional bouquet of herbs and flowers is burnt.

Once the fire is lit by the mayor the traditional bouquet of herbs and flowers is cast into the fire by the Lady of the flowers. The herbs are said to be both “good” and “bad” some know for there medicinal value, as well as those which reputed to given protection from witchcraft and other diabolical influences, others obnoxious weeds and plants which, either by name or association, were believed to posses malign influences.

The ceremony was performed in the Cornish & English language.

Tan y’n cunys
Gorraf desempys
Re splanno an tansys
Dres lyes plu!

I set the pyre
At once on fire;
Let flame aspire
Over many a parish!
