Happy Easter to all my readers.

Glimmers
These are what I try to find every day and I hope the ones I find do help to rewire you when you need it as they do for me. 
Flowers, Sunset and A New Word
LiveWire no 4 picked us a bunch of flowers on one of her walks and they are still lovely.
Three Cornered Leeks and a Bluebell
A couple of nights ago, this was the sunset we could see as we drew the curtains for the night.
I do love to learn new words. This one turned up today.
River, Easter Topper and A Hitchhiker
Penryn River
Spotted this hitchhiker as we parked up
Beautiful crocheted topper in Lanner
Posy, Stone and Award
Our lovely LiveWire has done the blog for a couple of days so I didn’t mark 14th April as I would have done. Our Dear neighbour Bill Mitchell died eight years ago and I always take a posy to mark the day to Sue-next-door. LiveWire 4 made the pretty bow to tie the posy up.
Sue took some beautiful flowers to his memorial stone in St Euny Churchyard.
We recently listened to a repeat of a brilliant programme, The Reunion, on BBC Radio 4 all about the people who made the production, The Passion, in Port Talbot fourteen years ago. Bill and Sue, Wildworks, worked with Michael Sheen to bring this piece to life. The programme will be repeated on Good Friday morning and can also be heard by clicking on the red link. It’s really well worth listening to. Bill and Michael Sheen won a Best Director award for their remarkable work.

Two Gifts and A Poem
Our daughter and LiveWire 4 left this afternoon after a brief and lively visit. Behind were left two special gifts made for us – a bracelet in Suffragette colours and a colourful Happy Easter card. 
A Facebook friend posted the following poem yesterday and gave me permission to share. I found it very touching and love her play with words, ‘unsocial media,’ the ‘humane humans’ and especially her thanks to all creatives and activists. The last two lines are a call to us all to remind us that we all rely on each other. Nourish each other, people, nourish! Thanks to Deasy Bamford for this.

LiveWire 4 is with us for a few days and has taken charge of tonight’s blog. All tonight’s photos were taken by my LiveWire Blogger.
Benjamin Zephaniah Day and Raindrops
Benjamin Zephaniah Day, a festival celebrating the life and legacy of the late poet, writer, and activist, will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at Brunel University. It will be a family-friendly event featuring a range of activities, including literary and musical performances, workshops, and showcases.
To honour this amazing human, here is one of his poems. He wrote funny poems, for children and for adults, and he wrote of his own experiences as here..
We’ve had rain today for the first time in some weeks so it was a joy for the garden and for me being able to take photos of raindrops.
