New Year’s Eve

31 Dec

I have felt very loved and cherished today with all the cards, presents, treats and messages from family and friends including our Ukrainian friends. Our three Live Wires in Barcelona sang Happy Birthday for me in English, French, Wolof and Catalan. Our lovely neighbour brought round some Turkey Thai Green curry and I am beginning to feel a bit brighter – who wouldn’t with all that love pouring in?

Birthday card from the lovely Mr S, just 2″ square

And for you Dear Readers, these words from Neil Gaiman.

Harvest Moon and A Book Cover

11 Sep

The Harvest full moon was lovely as it rose over the horizon creating some unusual orangey clouds.

As we were browsing in a delightful independent shop in town and the lovely Mr S was choosing cards, I spotted this book by Neil Gaiman and loved the title. I should have bought it so will be back in town as soon as I can…….

Fiction, A Good Read and Fear

17 Apr

Today I finished a work of fiction and loved it. What a mixture of murder mystery, love story and Cornish politics!

There are many writings by Khalil Gibran that I like and this one, today, is new to me.

Today and 2020

31 Dec

I am having the loveliest birthday! We started with the family tradition of croissants for  breakfast, spent the day in Penzance just wandering the streets and had lunch out. We then spent a happy hour choosing paint for our soon-to-be-transformed hall, stairs and landing.
This evening we have had a fabulous dinner of Confit Duck with Miso glazed green beans and creamy mash followed by Alice’s Caramel and Chocolate Orange Tart, just scrumptious – all interspersed with lovely calls and messages and cards and presents and video calls so that I feel very loved and very happy!

On this, the night before the New Year, I wish all my Dear Readers the very best for the coming year and beyond. I echo the words of Neil Gaiman.

Angels, Heirloom and Myths

07 Jan

The Christmas Angels are still flying in our lovely small town of Redruth.

Redruth’s Angels

We’ve been tidying away all the Christmas things today, among them, this beautiful bowl with its matching ladle. We always use it for bread sauce for Christmas dinner. It is the last piece of a dinner service that my Mum and Dad were given as a Wedding present in 1939 so is a very special treasure to me.

I have loved myths and legends since I was very young so to be given Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology for Christmas was a real treat. I have so enjoyed reading these tales again and loved this fresh interpretation.
