Choir Babies, Woman in Wellies and Iridescent Pots

1 Singing this morning was wonderful – some carols for our Christmas repertoire and a hauntingly beautiful Leonard Cohen piece called ‘Dance Me to the End of Love’ and all the while our beautiful Choir Babies to amuse us!

All three beautiful Choir-babies

2 I watched a woman in wellies throwing something for her dog to fetch in the Penryn river. I loved the wake left by the dog and the reflections in the river.

3 I met the lovely Mr S in Truro for lunch and to start looking at new curtains to replace the water damaged ones. We met in The Lemon Street Gallery and found these very beautiful pots by Chris Hawkins on display.

Penryn River, Miss Peapod’s Cafe and Guest Posting

21 Jun

1 I go to Penryn every week to sing with The Suitcases and this beautiful view never fails to move me! We are so lucky to be living in this most beautiful county.

2 An artist (whose name I must find out) has been working on these mosaics around the door and the windows of Miss Peapod’s Cafe which is where we all gather after singing for coffee, delicious homemade cakes, perhaps Poached Egg with Spinach on Toasted Ciabatta or even, as this morning for Claire and Mandy, a full English breakfast!

3 One of the blogs I read is by a 16 year old in Australia who is the most amazing cook. She is in Year 11 and has exams coming up so has to give her time to study. She has invited Guest Bloggers to blog on her space Go Bake Yourself during this time and I am absolutely delighted to have been chosen by her! I now have to choose between Chocolate Torte and Lime and Ginger Cheesecake, both of which I am making soon for our Family reunion party in July.

1 Singing today, with the sun on the Penryn river outside and Claire back from her seven weeks away was just lovely.
