Father’s Day – Breakfast, Lunch and A Walk

Happy Summer Solstice to all my Dear Readers.

I made a favourite breakfast of Blueberry Pancakes with creme fraiche and maple syrup for my lovely Mr S.

Our eldest daughter came for the day and we had a delicious lunch in the Redruth Buttermarket in bright sunshine and with colourful hanging baskets and bunting blowing in the breeze. The excellent kitchens allow for each of us to choose – burger, foccacia, pad thai.

Later we had a rather warm walk down to the beach at Trelissick. All in all, a delightful happy day.

And of course, my own lovely Dad is also in my mind today, especially as we enjoy Trelissick which Mum and Dad both loved too.

Dahlias, Fans and Live Theatre!

14 Aug

The National Dahlia Collection is now just nearby at a local nursery and we went along to have a look. There were some real beauties.

On our way to the Buttermarket for a live theatre performance this evening, something in the distance across the carpark caught my eye. Zoom revealed a fan and some fabric. Another time I will go closer and investigate.

We have had just the best evening of magical live theatre, laughter and fun! The Pantaloons have just presented The Tempest in the liveliest and most anarchic production I have ever seen. Only four actors played the eleven parts with skill and imagination, drawing on the crowd to use their imagination and to provide local colour which was incorporated into the story seamlessly. They are touring until early September and are well worth seeking out. You will come away having smiled so much your cheeks will hurt!

Street Art, Frida Kahlo and A Frog

10 Jul

As I walked up to the Buttermarket today for the Frida Kahlo market, I went past some street art that we have only driven by before. Today I was able to get a photograph. This is my favourite of all the street art in our town.

The market was brilliantly, vibrant, full of colour and life and happy people.

We spent the afternoon weeding at the allotment – the weeds have grown out of all proportion to the vegetables and have loved all the rain! A lovely frog joined us. I love his long toes, stripey legs and black, shiny eyes. .
