Honey Scent, Spring Green and A Windmill

Walking along the beautiful Walsingham Place in Truro this morning the honey scent of the many choisya bushes was just wonderful.

Driving under a canopy of fresh green leaves was a delight this morning.

My lovely Mr S has re-seeded parts of the lawn and the pigeons are finding it a good olace to find food.so today we bought a coupls of over-sized windmills  which are now spinning above the seeds in the hope of putting the pigeons off.

 

Evening Sunshine, Tulip and Bouquet

As we drove down Chapel Hill in Truro yesterday, the evening sun was lighting up the cathedral, a view I grew up with when we lived on the hill.

Another tulip is flowering.

The bouquet that arrived on Mother’s Day is still looking lovely.

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.
