Singing Amy Winehouse, Lucy News from Namche Bazaar and Daffodils

1  Fabulous singing session this morning learning ‘Valerie’ by Amy Winehouse.  As the harmonies built up and then the melody came over the top – it was brilliant!  And I hadn’t liked it much on first listen. I love the way Claire can do that for us!

2   Came home to find this message from Lucy on Facebook:   “Now that was the hardest thing that I have ever done and possibly the hardest thing that I will ever do, I got very sick and nearly didn’t make it, but did and now I’m flying back down the mountains… lots of love to all… Still taking sponsorship…http://fundraise.unicef.org.uk/MyPage/LucyEverestBaseCamp

We are so proud of her and delighted, that despite being so sick, she made it!

3  There are daffodils in the garden, some open, others just bending their heads ready to burst.  There’s a field near Ponsanooth on my way to Penryn that has daffodils all over it and it’s such a delight to round the corner and see them.  It’s not commercial growing – they’re just there!

Singing, Family Recipes and Singing again!

1  Singing with The Suitcases in Tremough this morning was wonderful! The acoustics were fabulous and I’m sorry I’ll miss the concert tomorrow evening.

2  Going through the old books I found all the family recipe books, going back to my Great Grandmothers’. It’s so lovely to read recipes in their own handwriting. I’d been thinking some time ago of a recipe of some lovely oaty biscuits called ‘Mocha Crispies’ and I found the recipe in my Mum’s handwriting so I’ll make them soon.

3  Tonight The Inglehearts went for their Christmas meal and it was a fabulous evening. After eating a delicious meal we were entertained by various choir members and then we all sang lots of our  repertoire and it was brilliant. Thanks Claire!

The Suitcase Singers, Gaudete again and Handmade with love

1  This morning it was the Suitcases who sang their hearts out practising for the upcoming gigs. We also learnt ‘Gaudete’ in four part harmony in 20 minutes! My, we’re getting good!!

2  After singing we all had Christmas lunch together in Miss Peapod’s and it was delicious. They did us proud! We then gave our newly learned ‘Gaudete’ an outing and Claire was very pleased with us!

3  This afternoon I finished Tabitha’s cardigan by sewing in the label – ‘Hand made with love especially for you’
