Sweet Peas, Colour Contrast and A Birthday Video

28 Jul

Our Sweet Peas in one pot are glorious. The other pot is finished. 🙁

Serendipity again as the bright orange Montbretia/ Crocosmia has popped up with the purple Tom Thumb Pittosporum hedge.

A  couple of months ago , I was asked to take part in a Birthday video for an ex pupil of mine. The idea was to screw up some paper with a Happy Birthday message on it. Have it thrown to you from the left, unscrew it, show the message to the camera and throw it off to the right. It made for a very special and individual birthday present.
It occurred to me that it would be a lovely thing to do for our dear choir leader, Claire, with whom we have been unable to sing in person for 5 months because of the Covid situation. Fortunately we have in one of our choirs a brilliantly talented individual who agreed to put together the 60+ videos valiantly made by our community of choir members! Thanks so much, Kenn! What a success it has been! Here it is for your delectation. The setting is the Penryn River, our view from the rehearsal room and the music is sung by the choirs.

      Got it from a young friend whose sister asked me to join in. I used to teach them both many moons ago. It worked well didn’t it? Claire was delighted. 🙂

      She did! Such a lovely idea wasn’t it from my friend and so well put together by one of the choir members. 🙂

      Yes, I was delighted with the way it turned out – and so was Claire! 🙂
