Today’s saint , the Cornish St Petroc , reminds me of two holidays I had in Cornwall in the 1960s .

One memory is of the numerous hedgerows of fucshia in Cornwall . They are beautiful .

I have loved fuchsia ever since .

I was so happy the day our garden centre reopened. I bought this planter for the window sill and these two sets of flowers.

Walking along a lane I came to a spot where it crossed a gill . A blue haze seemed to hover below in the spaces among the trees . It was a beautiful carpet of bluebells. A delightful sight .

Looks very similar to apple blossom, doesn’t it?

Which reminds me of the poem “Jesus Christ the apple tree” , which goes back to the early 1700s and has been set to music by various ones . It may allude to Song of Songs 2:3 “As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.”

The tree of life my soul hath seen,
Laden with fruit, and always green:
The trees of nature fruitless be
Compared with Christ the apple tree.

His beauty doth all things excel:
By faith I know, but ne’er can tell
The glory which I now can see
In Jesus Christ the apple tree.

For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought:
I missed of all; but now I see
'Tis found in Christ the apple tree.

I’m weary with my former toil,
Here I will sit and rest awhile:
Under the shadow I will be
of Jesus Christ the apple tree.

This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
It keeps my dying faith alive;
Which makes my soul in haste to be
With Jesus Christ the apple tree.
