Shire Horses, Sea and Rachel Rose Reid

1   We went to The Lost Gardens of Heligan today to watch the Shire horses ploughing. What skill and what a pleasure to watch man and beasts at work. Listening to his instructions and watching the horses reactions was brilliant. He always started with, “Now, listen, horses!” and they did!

3  Tonight, The Suitcase Singers had a gig at Miss Peapod’s and the wonderful Rachel Rose Reid told some of her amazing stories which were just  so moving, especially with the backing of the singers.  I have no voice tonight so was in the audience – and what a treat that was! Under Claire Ingleheart’s tutelage we have become quite the choir! We look good, we sound good and we have fun. What’s more, the audience all around me agreed with me!    Thank you, Suitcase Singers, Daisy Berks and Rachel Rose Reid for an excellent night of entertainment.

Choir Baby, Back View and Dylan Thomas

1   Singing today was brilliant, learning a song for next week’s gig with Rachel Rose Reid. Choir-baby E now joins in our warm up exercises and loves our singers. Here she is with Daisy, one of our new and very talented members who will be the support act at the gig.

3  A good friend sent me a link to my all-time favourite poet, Dylan Thomas, today. Do click and listen to many amazing Welsh actors reading, ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’, one of Dylan Thomas’ wonderful poems. Click here.  Thank you so much, D.
