Open Studios, Lunch and Coffee Crown Cake

It’s Open Studios week in Cornwall and this morning we went to visit the studio of one of my favourite local artists, Sasha Harding, one of whose beautiful paintings we bought twelve years ago. Today we bought two small ones which I will show you when we have hung them. This is one wall of her gallery, taken with permission, of course.

A lovely sunny day called for a proper summertime lunch with homegrown leaves.

I’ve made a coffee cake for tomorrow’s market as I do almost every month. I decorated it to be a crown and sprayed the points with edible gold as a nod to the jubilee celebrations.

Roses, Lunch and A Painting

24 Sep

The roses that the lovely Mr S bought for 8th September have all gone now but interestingly their scent has grown as the blooms have faded.

Last rose

I took a Lemon Cheesecake to a neighbours for a Wine and Shine shared lunch party today but forgot to take a photo! It was a lovely afternoon and the sun did shine for much of the afternoon and some brave souls went in the pool.

I thought you might like to see one of my favourite paintings, this one by Sasha Harding whose work I love. It is a delightful reminder of rock pool dipping in the summer. Our nets are all away in the shed awaiting the return of some LiveWires at half term.

Another Sunbeam, Baby Talk and Supper

21 Jan

1. This morning started cloudy so the low sunbeams when they appeared lit up a different part of the dresser highlighting one of my favourite paintings, only 6″x6″, by Sasha Harding, of someone enjoying her homemade soup. Isn’t it delightful?

2. Daughter No 3 phoned this afternoon and we could hear Grand-baby B chatting away in the background. She will be two in April and already has many many words, loving to repeat anything said to her.
3. Our lovely next-door neighbour brought our supper in for us this evening, a delicious goulash with brown rice, salad and plain yogurt. Such kindness from so many beautiful people.

Mince Pies, Sunbeam and Wheal Coates Walk

26 Dec

1 I taught my Senegalese daughter-in-law how to make mince pies this morning. They turned out beautifully!

A’s first ever mince pies

2 Just as we were baking, a low winter sunbeam caught this painting by Sasha Harding. Serendipity!

3 We had sunshine most of today before the expected return of the storms so we all had a walk up to Wheal Coates. Many, many people had the same idea and A was delighted that everyone we met said Hello or Merry Christmas and one lovely walker offered to take a photo of us all. What special kindness to recognise our desire without a word being spoken!

Painting, Peppers and Peachy Clouds

10 Jan

1 This beautiful little painting (and it is little, only 6″x6″) was my Christmas present from the lovely Mr S. I love Sasha Harding‘s work.

2 Halloumi Peppers for supper tonight (See Recipes) Aren’t they beautiful inside?

3 As it has become dusk, (later and later each day, I’m delighted to report) these peachy clouds appeared over the rooftops opposite.

Bathroom Art, Piano Practice and Tyangboche

17 Feb

1 I see these two wacky bits of art several times a day and they make me smile every time! The embroidered one, ‘a list of reasons to head for the sea’ kept me going when I lived out of Cornwall. The driftwood one is by Susan R Evans and we bought them both in the Art gallery below Leeds Museum many years ago.

2 I’ve done lots of short practises today. Below is my keyboard and another beautiful piece of art, one of my favourites, ‘ The Rock Pool’ by Sasha Harding. It’s lovely to look up at when I’m stuck on a piece.

3 Lucy and fellow trekkers have reached Tyamboche at 12,687ft today. I don’t think we’ll hear from her for another whole week!

Webcam, Dickens and Peace

30 Dec

1 The Heligan webcam has given lots of birdwatching pleasure off and on today, thanks to the link from Shelagh, my friend in Vermont. (http://www.heliganwild.com/webcams)

2 We’ve listed to the two final episodes of ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ this afternoon. What a brilliant, atmospheric production.

3 We’ve had a very quiet and peaceful day together.
