Wild Oddities of a Nature Woman is a down-to-earth blog that embraces Mother Nature and all living things in a gentle, sustainable way. Come take trips with me into the gardens, the seashore, greenbelt trails, wildflower meadows, on a sailboat, and into my kitchen. This summer, travel with me to the ancient county of Cornwall, UK as I volunteer on 3 organic farms in the place where my ancestors were born, lived, worked, and died.

June 2 2018 - Trestrayle Farm, Camborne Mining, & Patio Lunch with Julie
10 PM A very long day. We are all tired but in different ways. Harry worked on a machine he rented to excavate an area that will be a huge hoop house. Julie worked with the ducks and chickens and many chores. We left for Trestrayle Farms and Camborne around 11 AM.
June 2 2018 - A Day Out With Julie
6 AM. Birds singing. Sun is shining. Julie & I are driving to Camborne, today. My grandparents were born there. We are buying Harry some brewing ingredients. We are parking at ALDIS and walking to the Brewery shop. It is also across the street from the cemetery where my Grandma Ruby Gill's parents, James Arthur Uren & Elizabeth Penpraze are buried at Camborne Church.
Camborne is a town in west Cornwall, United Kingdom. The population at the 2011 Census was 20,845. The northern edge of the parish includes a section of the South West Coast Path, Hell's Mouth and Deadman's Cove.

Fish and chips and mushy peas with mint.
Harry and I decided he would order 3 scoops of ice cream and he would share one scoop with me.

Brewery where Julie's daughter, Chloe works.
parking lots are all pay if you can't prove you patronized a store.
Beautiful quaint building with gargoyles on the roof.
It gets dark at 10 PM in Cornwall. We arrived for dinner around 7:30 PM and kayakers were coming in. Not much wave action for an ocean.
Beautiful plantings inside the tops of rock walls.
As we approach the restaurant, we come to the end of the winding hilly road and catch a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean on the north side of Cornwall - east of Hayle.
Roads are very narrow and winding,
