Steeping the Spanish saffron for the cake we'll enjoy with our pasty lunch on Saturday at the Gathering, Cousins! Much gratitude to the late Brita Rozinski for sharing her mother's recipe with me, Mrs. Berryman's Saffron Cake. The best I've ever had.

Discover the different styles of hedging across Cornwall in one location, at the newly completed Kerdroya labyrinth, Colliford Lake. Built in celebration of the Diamond anniversary of the Cornwall National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), it has sections of Cornish hedge built in the stone and style of the 12 sections of Cornwall's National Landscape designation - from Penwith, the Lizard, and St Agnes to Bodmin Moor, Morwenstow and Rame head.
It is the perfect place to see the differences local stone makes to the facing of a Cornish Hedge and the skill required to build these structures.
The labyrinth was designed by Golden Tree and built over a number of years by professional hedgers, volunteers and school children, with a piece of locally crafted artwork at the centre by Thrussells.
