It’s Redruth Market tomorrow and I’ve baked a cake as usual but today, we used no power from the grid but just power from the sun!

Sue-next-door, her brother Pete and their friend Hal, have just installed Twigmaid (a smaller, travelling Mudmaid) into the courtyard behind St Martins-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, for the Lost Oasis. This Heligan-in-the-City is a beautiful green retreat in the heart of London with a bar, guest chefs, music and events. If you, Dear Reader, if you are anywhere near, do go and visit. Ute, maybe?
Here is the original Mud Maid to be found in The Lost Gardens of Heligan here in Cornwall.

Wow that’s interesting. That sounds great. As it happens I am with my sister at a concert in St Martins in the fields and then we have something else planned. I have a full programm with her and her hubby. I’ll certainly check it out after she left again.
Of course if any blogger comes to London to see it, let me know and I’d love to meet them if I can. ♥
