May 25th: It was a mild evening and a great turn-out of friends and neighbours for the private view of Tiffa’s exhibition: Botany and Boats. Mally Francis, Tiffa’s botanical tutor, and her husband Charles came all the way from Heligan. The paintings were much admired and lots of red dots were deployed!

The clocks went forward last night and the sun came out to help us celebrate. Here are a few pictures, including the new header image on this page, taken on the way down for Sunday brunch at the Port Navas Yacht Club. Happy days!

Very sad news this morning: Peggy Shepperd, our village’s oldest resident, passed away peacefully at her son John’s.

Peggy had been at the centre of life in Port Navas since she and her husband Douglas moved here in 1956. Together they published the definitive history of the village in 1994. Peggy produced a much expanded 2nd edition of  ‘The Story of Port Navas’ in 2016 just before her 100th birthday.

Peggy was a remarkable lady and we will all miss her greatly.

A good crowd of young and old came to see the Christmas tree lights being switched on. After the count down David’s twinkly lights were switched on by Peggy. Mulled wine, hot pasties and mince pies were served and then the Constantine silver band struck up to accompany the carols.

Not a drop of rain fell and the super moon was nearing its zenith, the perfect start for the Christmas season.

Pope’s Garden is ready for the winter.  The Garden Squad have done a tremendous job in the community garden. The gunnera are tucked up and rampant undergrowth has been cut back and the ground cleared of ivy and planted with spring bulbs. The paths are all weeded and laid with new wood chippings.

Many thanks to the Squad, led by Cate and Pauline, and the free wood chippings from Mary.
