Legally Blonde and A Reminder
A Poem, Flowers and Sewing
I found this poem a few days ago and it so echoes my philosophy of looking for joy in the smallest of things.
Today I found joy in the flowers all over the city of Truro where we went shopping, here on the window sill of the bank. 
This afternoon, my joy was sewing – again. I am working on a zany project with my lovely neighbour. For the moment the project is secret, prior to a production going ahead later this month. I am helping to make dollies with character. I’ll take another photo of this one as its crocheted green mohican hairdo doesn’t show well enough here.
Joy and Harmony
I love this flashmob with my choirs. There’s a need for joy and harmony right now. All the very best to all my Dear Readers.
Some Old Tyres, A New Word and Beaches
We keep the big doors open at the eco barn when we sing on Monday afternoons and today, through the gap, I saw some of the delightful and imaginative decorations in the yard, all made from old tyres and painted brightly to become a toucan and a palm tree!
I learned a new word the other day – confelicity. It means taking delight in the happiness of others. This is what it was like last week when we so enjoyed taking our Ukrainian friends to the beach where they were able to let go of some worries for a while and could revel in the joy of the sea and the beach.

Our friends are in our hearts and our thoughts all the time and especially today given the ongoing news.
Walk, Flower and A Gift
What joy! We met Daughter No 3 and family at St Agnes Head this morning for a very windy walk. They are with us just for the day from their holiday in Devon. 
LiveWire No 4 ran off down the path in the wind.
We spent some of the afternoon harvesting beans at the allotment and B picked a daisy which she later popped into the hedge along the lane as a “lovely surprise for someone to find!” 
Our lovely LiveWire had made me some Rose Petal Perfume and bottled it beautifully. Some blogger friends and I were just talking recently about doing just that when we were much the same age so it was especially sweet.
We’ve had a really lovely day but when they leave I feel bereft. Covid has made visits even fewer and briefer.
Stories, Plait and Puddles
We have a very precious twenty four hours with Not-quite-Littlest-LiveWire and we have had a lovely day, reading stories, playing hide and seek, rooting through the old toys and stomping through puddles.
Choosing the next story from the children’s story book shelf that used to belong to our four.
Getting ready for our walk, B happened upon a nearly finished hat and decided to wear it anyway. It fitted beautifully around her plait.
There were splashable puddles all along the path and I just managed to catch a reflection of B and her Grandfather’s legs!
Play Park, Hot Chocolate, A Woodpecker and P.S.
There’s a brilliant play park near us at Heartlands, so much inventive play equipment and a lovely cafe where Littlest Live-Wire enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate.
While we were having our lunch so were the local birds, a Greater Spotted Woodpecker and a Chaffinch at our bird feeders.
P.S. I am finding a great need for my beautifulthings at the moment. I am so fearful of a Brexit vote, I am moved to tears by the plight of refugees and the horrific Orlando shootings of the LGBT community in a night club and now today’s dreadful news of one of our own MP’s being murdered in the street.
It is a such a joy to have our Littlest Live Wire here with her constant chatter and laughter and her delight in absolutely everything. Tonight I have finished her poncho and will show you tomorrow. Her reaction when she saw it with the braiding on was a huge grin and “I love it!”
Grandbabies, Baking and Baby News
1 Tabitha, 9 months has been waving at us all today and then looks at her waving hand as if to say, “What’s going on here?”
2 We’re doing a 24hour babysit so that KJ and Mr Rice can go away for the night to a spa hotel and it’s been great fun, if exhausting. Jake loves to bake so we made his Mummy’s Birthday cake (a stollen and a secret, hard for a 3 year old!) We also made and decorated Christmas tree buns.

3 They are now asleep and I’ve come up to find a video of Jo and Tom’s 7 hour old baby daughter waiting for me. What joy indeed.
