We awoke to find two beautiful White Poppies in bloom.

We have some more Blue Poppies and we love them too.

My choir, The Ingleheart Singers, sang at Open Studios at Krowji in Redruth today. The flags around the site were delightful.

1 When we collected my brother from Newquay Airport just over two weeks ago there was the most beautiful sunset. Today, as we took him back to go home to Munich, there was a pretty sunrise and now it’s all quiet again and we are catching upon all the things that stood still while we enjoyed time together.

2 We went to Penzance this afternoon for the Literary Festival and a talk, ‘Sailing round Cornwall’ by our good friend, Sue Kittow which we thoroughly enjoyed. The town was full of flags for the various summer festivals.

3 One of my young friends sent me this some time ago and I missed. G.S., you were right! I love it!

…….but no more! I have spent the last few days at WOMAD in Wiltshire and found my spiritual home! To begin the days with singing in harmony, to end the days with dancing, in the rain or in the evening sunshine, to fill the hours in between with music from all over the world, with food from all over the world, to be with some of the people one loves the most and surrounded by happy, like-minded strangers – well, what more could one ask for? Honestly? Only to have the rest of the family there too!
Why have I not been to music festivals before? I can’t really answer that question. I have always wanted to and now, at last, I have and I have loved every single minute of the four days. I’m already looking to book for next year!
Let me take you on a visual journey through the Festival. I’m just sorry I can’t bring you the music. Here are a few photos from our first impressions on Thursday evening – colour, inventiveness, children, happiness, parched grass, music……
More tomorrow.
1 There are three of these fluttering flags outside a local school. What a lovely thing.

2 I couldn’t resist a visit to my favourite shop, full of wonderful fabrics. I love the way some of the colours are echoed in the calculator.

3 KJ sent me photos of Grand-baby T’s 2nd Birthday Cake and I thought you might like to see it. Isn’t it beautiful, inside and out?!
