Octopus's Garden

This is the Godrivey Lighthouse, on the Altantic side of Cornwall. Godrivey is part of a three mile stretch of beach, often called Gwithian Towans. It is a beautiful place and a favourite haunt.


We came here with friends on Friday. The children like to bodyboard and I like to look around.


At low tide is is possible to explore the rocks and rockpools. We saw lots of tiny fish, shrimp, mussels, limpets, anenomes, barnacles as well as many types of seaweed.


Underwater garden.

Summer is a busy time; friends popping in, festivals to go to, the children wanting to go to the beach, ice cream. . . My time in the garden, at the moment, is sparse - a few minutes at the beginning and, if I am lucky, at the end of the day.

Still, we are making the most of a lovely summer. We have been fortunate.
