Look for them (if you dare) in the formal gardens in the lower part of the park. Following a British Insects theme, the gardeners have planted some of the beds with a giant flower design to compliment these giant creatures, the majority of which can be found close to the French Garden House. Information is also available to help you identify and find out about these fascinating creatures that are such an important part of the food chain. Some smaller versions of the sculptures have scuttled and flapped their way up to Mount Edgcumbe House. So, when visit- ing the house, keep your eyes peeled and you will get some surprises there too (don’t look in the bath!). The father and son team, Gary and Thomas Thrussell, are local sculptors and blacksmiths from Bodmin. Working in steel, copper and stainless steel, they use the natural world as inspiration for their sculptures. The Park and Gardens are open seven days a week and the House is open Sunday to Thursday 11am to 4.30pm until the end of September. Other exhibitions: The Childhood Toy Collection, Creatures of the Night House Admission cost applies. For more information please contact Lee Stenning or Kate John- son on 01752 822236. 4 Pensions Service Visiting Service The Department for Work & Pensions has a system whereby, subject to certain criteria, they visit older and vulnerable people to assist them to receive benefit entitlements. The scheme is partic- ularly aimed at helping people who are unable to connect with them via the internet – either through lack of expertise or equip- ment; those would find it difficult to support the length of a very involved telephone interview; and those who find it difficult to organise themselves. Derris Watson Cornwall Council has agreed to be a “clearing house” for the process of referral to this service for the South-East Cornwall area. If a case is referred to her by someone in the community, she will speak to the person directly in order to ascertain their need for this help and to obtain their consent for her involvement. If she is satisfied that they meet the criteria, Derris will then be able to refer them into the service. (The Citizens Advice Bureau and Age Concern also provide some visiting serv- ices, but refer into Department for Work and Pensions as well). If you know or come across someone that you feel would benefit from the service, please contact: Derris on 01579347632 or [email protected] Liskeard Show Saturday 9th July The Showground, Merrymeet.
