Spirals, Chocolates and Supper

I missed Roots this morning as the charging cable for my laptop had broken so I had to go to Truro to get a new one.  As I was on my own, I spent another hour or so in the Cathedral admiring Jacqui Parkinson’s  beautiful  textile hangings that I told you about a few weeks ago. Check that post out here. Today I was looking more closely at detail and became aware that there were spirals in every piece and then saw that the artist explains her intention. Do enjoy the gallery.

 

I then went to buy chocolates for a treat for my lovely Mr S at home on his own for the first time since his op and was drawn to some with spirals!

I made a delicious ratatouille for dinner tonight, seven plant foods in one meal.

Exhibition at Truro Cathedral

Regular readers will know that I love textiles and creativity and today we saw the most amazing exhibition of beautiful textile panels in the Cathedral. Threads Through Creation is a wonderful depiction of the story of the creation as told in the Bible. If you live anywhere nearby or the exhibition comes near you, do go to see it.  I want to go again when I have more time. Here is a gallery to give you a flavour of this glorious work.
