A trip to south east Cornwall with my mum who's staying for the weekend. Inside the country park Sarah and her son peer through the gun emplacements - they're sure they saw a bat inside the battery.

By the lake a couple chuck an orange ball and a pink ball for a yapping little terrier to chase and return, a yachting family throw chopped-up bread to the ducks.

Pet Cemetery in a dip circled by shrubs, a bit dank and gloomy even on a sunny-ish afternoon. Headstones planted in flowerbeds in memory of a canine beloved.

Earthenware lionface, and tight-lipped stone tortoise - one of three holding the weight of the memorial world on their backs.

Outside the orangery: female caryatids with twisted fishtails for legs, holding the fountain.
