Moon, Carol Singing and Snow Dog!

1   The moon this morning, just at the start of dawn, was beautiful and if you look carefully, you can see the pink-tinged vapour trail of a plane as it catches the colour from the sunrise.

2   Here I offer you up a Carol Concert!  These are some videos of our concert on Wednesday in Truro Cathedral, with many thanks to T and D. We start with a beautiful piece May This Room.  Click on any red link to hear Claire Ingleheart’s three choirs singing in the Cathedral.
The Redruth Wassail follows, then Silent Night,  Star of Bethlehem, Dona Nobis and finishing with Rolling Downwards.
I hope you enjoy these carols. We love singing them!

3   I have finished the Snow Dog! He has certainly been a challenge and a labour of love and I love him to bits.  I hope Grand Baby T does too!  For those of you able to get UK TV, the animation will be on Channel 4 at 7.30 on Christmas Eve.

Delicate Decorations, Christmas Shopping and Singing in Truro Cathedral

1   I love it when we get the cardboard boxes full of decorations out of the attic and open up them up to release memories as powerful as smells!   So many of the decorations carry a person or a place with them and each is revealed in turn.

2    Truro is beautiful even in the rain and we had a lovely afternoon buying the last few presents and going into the Museum for a few moments’ respite to see the current exhibition, 100 Years of St Ives Artists.

3   All three of Claire’s choirs met up in Truro Cathedral for our feast of Christmas carols. One hundred or so of us sang our hearts out and the Cathedral was full – standing room only!  It was a beautiful evening for everyone


Very annoyingly, I’m not being allowed to decide where I want to put the photos! Please click to enlarge any and to find the details.
