A glass working day, cutting and choosing jewellery to decorate the newly cut pieces followed by an evening at the theatre with a crazy and very funny left-wing comedian.
The young comedian from Tennessee who was his support act was brilliant but I can’t find her name.
Almost blown off my feet and wet through in moments, I managed three minutes at Portreath and got some wonderful shots of the crashing waves this afternoon.
We went to see The Collector at The Ladder in Redruth again this evening and I was even more moved than the first time I saw it last week. If you are anywhere nearby, don’t miss this remarkable, quirky piece of theatre. Here’s the link for you.
After a very busy morning at Community Roots preparing 24 seed trays for the winter salads and 13 module trays for Spring onions and other seeds, I’m out for the evening – going for a meal with a dear friend and then going to what promises to be a crazy evening.
The publicity material says, “An uplifting celebration of community and friendship where everyone is welcome – don’t miss this feel-good night of foot-stomping entertainment, so good you’ll want to come back and see it again and again.”
Back home. That summary was right! If you get the chance to see the show, it really is a treat.
This evening we went to the Hall for Cornwall in Truro to listen to Lucy Worsley, historian. She was very entertaining. On the way we appreciated the gorgous flower displays and the view of the cathedral. 
We had some delicious courgette soup in the sunshine before going into the very interesting H’Art Museum in Amsterdam.
That evening, wanting to eat Dutch food, I had Boerenkool Stamppot and being a big fan of mash and gravy, absolutely loved this meal.
Tonight we have been to the Hall for Cornwall for a talk I really wasn’t interested in, A Gun Through Time by the historian David Olusoga. However, the subject was made quite fascinating by him concentrating on the social history rather than the military history of guns. 
We’ve been out this evening to The Hall for Cornwall to a concert by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. It was brilliant and the conductor, Enyi Okpara, was a delight to watch, so expressive and very entertaining.

We had our home grown Pumpkin soup for supper.

What a brilliant evening that was! Thanks Sue, for your company and KJ and L, for the ticket for my birthday – a real treat.
I could only stay for half tonight’s Inglehearts’ session as we were booked to see Vivaldi by Candlelight at The Hall for Cornwall. In the corridor at the school was another paper sculpture lantern – The Troon.

We thoroughly enjoyed the concert by The Locrian Ensemble.

What a splendid evening in Truro. First a wander, then dinner and the Birmingham Royal Ballet who were just wonderful, especially Frederick Ashton’s piece Momentum 11 set to Eric Satie’s Gymnopedies and then the Cathedral lit up against the dark sky.

1 Yesterday, friends delivered a lovely bunch of Daffodils in the bud from my beautiful choir leader, Claire. Today they are open and very lovely. Thank you so much, Claire!

2 Last night we went to see Ballet Rambert performing one of our favourite ballets, Rooster, to the music of the Rolling Stones. It was brilliant as was the rest of the show.
3 It being Valentine’s Day, we have had a special meal tonight, the dessert being Choux pastry Hearts filled with Vanilla cream and topped with a chocolate ganache. They went down well!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my readers!
