Merlin's Magic Day had been advertised on posters in shop windows, post offices, garages and anywhere a poster could be stuck and on local radio too. This was a fund raising day for The Merlin project which is a fund raising group aiming to raise £2 million to build an M.S. therapy centre in Cornwall. Happy to support such a cause but to be honest the nosey side of our natures was the real reason we went to Caerhayes castle, the chance to get close to this beautiful place doesn't happen very often. So off we went.
What a delightful courtyard just a taster of what a beautiful building this is. Later on we came back here and had bread rolls filled with roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce. Pretty good.
From the lawn at the side of the castle was this view, not bad? On the lawn were various attractions story telling, puppets, Cahooty theatre company and The Cober Valley Accordian band to name a few.
I just thought this was a very Rapunzel likewindow.
It was a lovely Spring day and there were lot of people spending their money so I hope Merlin's pockets were bulging by the end of the day.

It's added to my list of places to visit when I come over again. It looks like it won't be until the summer of 2009, but that's not that long off.
How wonderful to chat with that old lady. She sounds as though she has a great spirit with plenty of friends and loved ones around to help her out.
I wonder if I offered cucumber sandwiches to friends if they'd come by and do my garden for me. (With my bad back it's so difficult to do it and it's quite expensive to pay a gardener.)
Summer 2009 will come around soon enough.
Cucumber sandwiches are considered genteel here maybe your friends could garden with refinement.
It all looks beautiful.
