Spaceman, Flowers and Cathedral
We loved the Spaceman in the Lemon Street Market in Truro today.
In one of the shops were these lovely felt flowers.
I love Truro Cathedral in all weathers but on a beautiful sunny Spring day like today, it’s even more lovely.
Today is our last official day with an allotment. From tomorrow it will be cared for by a lovely young family.
Cathedral, Project and Supper
Here’s a different view of Truro Cathedral, taken from the window of the coffee shop where we had excellent coffee and a toasted tea-cake. I was pleased to catch the gull in my photo just before it took off. Just look at that lovely blue sky as we are between storms, another due tomorrow. .
I love a new project! Today we bought the fabric for the curtain to go over the new back door.
We had a delicious veggie chilli for supper tonight with sour cream, guacamole and cheese.
Flowers, Cathedral and A Special Poem
In Truro today, it was lovely to see the planters full of primulas in purple, white and green – and a bit of pink. 
I’ve been given permission to share a poem with you. It is one of a booklet of remarkable writing produced by a very talented grandchild of one of my choir friends. 
Winter Trees, Puddle and Christmas Lights
After a delicious Christmas lunch at Trennick Mill with our friends, we drove home beside the Truro River and the winter trees stood out against the wintering sky..
Reflected in a puddle
On the Trafalgar roundabout there is a lights model of Truro Cathedral.
Nearly home, we saw a lovely nativity scene in lights.
Singers, Cake and Full Moon
Tenors plus one soprano before the ShelterBox Christmas Concert in Truro Cathedral
Tenors in full voice! Thanks K for the photo.
Cake for tomorrow’s market
I wish I could have caught the Cold Moon near the horizon so that its super moon-ness could have been appreciated.
Happiness Calendar, Knitting and Flowers
I have had the loveliest afternoon, first singing where we rehearsed for our part in Thursday evening for the ShelterBox Christmas concert in Truro Cathdral followed by a couple of hours with a delightful young friend who has asked for help as she learns to knit. 
She brought me a very pretty little bunch of flowers as a thank you.
The Christmas concert we were rehearsing for this afternoonwill be livestreamed around the world ,so if you would like to join us, you can register here.
Please do tell me if you register to watch. It would be lovely to know that some of you might be ‘with’ us.
Flowers, Lampshades and Truro Cathedral
We’ve been in Truro today and the window boxes are still looking lovely.
Although it’s a bit early for these decorations, it made me smile to see all these bright orange pumpkin lampshades in a local restaurant.
This view of the Cathedral is what a small girl of about three years old saw and exclaimed excitedly, “Mummy, there’s a castle!” All three of these things made me smile this morning. 
By the River, By the Sea and A Talk
The Penryn River was so beautiful this morning as we gathered for our weekly sing.
We went for lunch at The Gylly and walked by the sea, such a gloriously bright, sunny and warm (in the sunshine) day.
This evening we went to a fascinating ‘symposium’ where the artist Tony Foster and guests were talking about how his art is seen through the lens of meteorology, mineralogy, environmental science and archaeology, and what insights it can give us into how to use our own fleeting time on earth. I wrote about visiting the exhibition here. If you put Tony Foster into my search box, you’ll find lots more information about him and his work. 
Posy, Wall Hanging and Useful Words
I picked a little posy of marigolds and purple sweet peas today.
I love the wall hanging seen a couple of weeks ago in Truro Cathedral that says thank you to their volunteers.
The following very useful information came my way today and I thought you might appreciate it.
With thanks to Steve Bartlett
We’ve had a lovely time today as friends we made on holiday in Tuscany last year came to visit, brought us lunch and lifted our spirits enormously. As on holiday, we talked and talked, laughed and laughed and shared so much that matters.
