Lighthouse, Lemon Curd and The Moon

1 We had a birthday lunch with friends in Maenporth today, such a beautiful day with warm sunshine, blue skies and seas but I was just too late to catch the sparkler on the birthday boy’s dessert!

2 I made a batch of Lemon Curd today( recipe here) and have potted it in the individual jars that we brought home from our holiday. I plan to sell them at Ingleheart’s choir on Monday evening as part of our fundraising for our reciprocal trip next Autumn to the Welsh choir who visited us last summer.

3 The moon was visible at dusk tonight and then the lovely Mr S called me to see a beautiful circular pinkish haze around it as darkness came. I expect there’s a name for that, that Alex will be able to tell me.

Bluebell Lane, Broccoli and A Very Big Moon

05 May

1 Had a beautiful drive down a little Cornish lane lined with drifts of bluebells.

2 Made a simple supper with beautiful purple sprouting broccoli a la Spring Simplicity but I left out the garlic because of tomorrow’s wedding and added some very crisply fried bacon – delicious! Thank you, Promenade Plantings for the inspiration.

3 The moon tonight is full and looks huge! I’m told that’s because it’s closer to the Earth than usual. It is certainly very beautiful.

The moon, Truro Cathedral choirboys and a double moonbow!

11 Nov

1 Driving to Truro this evening, the moon was a glorious, huge white disc in the sky. There was hardly a need for headlights, it was so bright.

2 The sound made by the choirboys as they sang in tonight’s concert in the Cathedral for last year’s flood victims was just truly beautiful.

3 I came home to this message from my Sister about a moon-bow – I didn’t even know one could exist!

“Oh Hawaii!!!!!!!!!!! How wonderful this place is (enhanced by a true, loving relationship.) Last night we went to a field of lava, covered with incredible petroglyphs. There we watched the sun set and the moon rise. We were blessed with the incredible vision of a moonbow. It is like a rainbow, but it created by the light of the moon. It held the full spectrum of colors, but muted to a gentle hue due to the source of light. At first it was just a small part of an arc, but as we watched, it became a complete arc circling the sky, and then, even more of a miracle, there was a faint echo of yet another arc around the first. A double moonbow! What a blessing, what a gift. I love this new home of mine and am filled with gratitude for my life.”

Thank you, Deborah, for this beautiful mind-picture.
