Portreath, Mosaic Lion, Senegalese Wedding Outfit

24 Apr

1   Portreath this morning was very fresh! The waves were reasonably big and I almost caught them in their high splashes.

2  In the field belonging to Portreath Primary School, we spotted the enormous mosaic Lion made especially for the children by our neighbour sculptors. This was built in the front garden next door and we watched in delight and awe as it grew. Those lucky children!

3   I cannot bring myself to put my dress for Daniel and Ami’s Wedding inside the wardrobe! It smells of Senegal, it rustles as the beautiful women in Senegal rustle and it reminds me of the whole experience! Lucy has sent us some of her photos of the Wedding – I’m always behind the camera so am missing from most of our albums.

    Hi,

    I have been looking for a mosaic lion for the past year after missing out on one in a shop.

    Please can u let me know who the sculpter is?

    Much appreciated.

      We did – and for the whole week we were there as we were absorbed into family life and looked after so well. No wonder the Senegalese have a reputation for their hospitality! 🙂

      Thank you, Sue. I was taken to the tailor’s on Thursday, measured up and the outfit was ready next day! I just need an occasion to wear it again! 🙂

    Your cultural shots are so awesome – what a wonderful tradition you have shown in this post 😀
    And that dress is exquisite without a doubt 🙂

      Hi Choc Chip Uru, I’m really glad you like the photos. The dress was made especially for me in only a day having shopped for the fabric and being measured up at the tailor’s!

      Cheers
