1 Another trip to Truro today, the city where I grew up and the city that I love. Here is a video that will give you a flavour of this beautiful place. Click on the red link.
2 We went to Truro specifically because one of the choirs I sing with, The Ingleheart Singers were giving a free lunchtime concert in the Cathedral. I haven’t been able to rehearse with them for some time but what a privilege it was to be in the audience and listen to that glorious sound soaring in the wonderful space that is our Cathedral. We had a group photo taken at the end so I am in it even though, on this occasion, I wasn’t singing!

Here they are singing Oxygen, written by our own lovely choir leader, Claire Ingleheart. Click on the video link to see and listen.
3 While we were in the city, we also went to the Bookshop (how could one not?) and I bought 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet by Lesley Stanfield for my special project and the next in the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith, J K Rowling’s pseudonym for her adult novels. I just finished the first one and couldn’t wait to get started on the next one, delightfully entertaining, well plotted and well written.

The song was lovely – can’t think of a place with better acoustics right?! The crochet flower book and your work are lovely too! I hope you’ll post more as you make them.

Absolutely right about the acoustics! I will show you more as I crochet or knit the little flowers. Thank you for your comments. 🙂

Are they making a film of it? Haven’t heard about that. A Casual Vacancy is on our TV at the moment, episode 2 tonight.
Love to you and yours 🙂

My sister’s addicted to the Robert Galbraith books, I haven’t got to reading one yet.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with all your crocheted flowers. The daffodil looks very cheerful.
Glad you had a lovely time watching your choir at the cathedral. I used to sing in the school choir but I’m not sure I was ever an asset. As much as I love listening to music it refuses to stick in my head.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Absolutely beautiful…I also went out to YouTube to listen to your other work, the flash mob video was very appealing.

It’s enormous fun doing a flash mob sing! I’m glad you found some of our other singing. We do have a good time harmonising together. All the best to you 🙂

ps could you upload the video to either youtube or facebook for wider circulation?

Yes, I’ll do that. Several of my readers have been to YouTube to find more of The Inglehearts singing (and enjoyed it) which is very pleasing. 🙂

Nice video, Sally. I didn’t realise that you were doing it. What was wrong with your photos, the video is good?

The lighting just didn’t work and I wasn’t happy with any of them. Thanks to Tina for her photo! 🙂

I enjoyed the video and went in search of the choir on YouTube. I like this one from 2012: http://youtu.be/dY1xBjzpKaQ

We sang that lovely Irish folk song today too. It sounded wonderful in the Cathedral. I’m glad you went looking for us on YouTube! 🙂
