Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival

My choir, The Suitcase Singers have been part of this festival, the biggest free music festival in Europe, on the opening day this afternoon.  We are in the middle of a storm warning and the heavens have opened this afternoon so the kind people of the Falmouth Hotel allowed us to sing inside instead of on the outdoor stage.

The audience were fabulous and seemed to really appreciate us and we loved the performance.

Just opposite the hotel is Castle Beach, the place where my lovely Mr Smith gave me my engagement ring 58 years ago! The tide was out on that occasion. 🙂

Kathmandu, Pendennis Castle and Castle Beach

Looking across to Pendennis Castle

1  We saw Lucy off at the station this morning on the first leg of her journey to Kathmandu. It’s going to be fun following her progress.

2  After singing, I met Mr S near the Gylly Cafe in Falmouth. We had a bracing walk in the winter sunshine, up to Castle Drive and past……

3  ………Castle Beach which is where Mr S put my engagement ring on my finger 45 years ago almost to the day! We had just bought it in an antique shop in Truro and came over to Falmouth on the train.
