1 For those of you who love elephants, as I do, here’s a link to a beautiful episode in the lives of some elephants.
2 I’ve finished J’s scarf, made up of scraps of wool from many of the things I’ve knitted for him in his almost four years.

3 Christmas singing at The Countryman in Piece – a spirit lifter if ever there was one! They call it a Shout when it’s singing in the pub and but it isn’t shouting , it is singing!
1 We had no rain for several hours and managed to plant up the new wall. It is going to be very beautiful! Do click on the photos to see the detail.

2 I spent a wonderful afternoon going through all my foodie magazines, cutting out the ones I want to try and sticking them into my personal recipe book. Mr S is a happy man as my pile of magazines to go through is now much smaller and he knows there will be some tasty treats to come!
3 First Sunday of the month means singing Cornish songs at The Countryman in Piece which of course is just the best way to blow away any blues! Singing in harmony has such a positive effect on the spirit, everyone should do it!

Long-tail tit family
1 We did the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch today and saw 17 different species and 37 birds in the allocated hour. Our delightful family of six Long-tail Tits joined us along with the Goldcrest which we saw lots of times but always alone so he could only be counted once.
2 My lovely Sister-in-law from Atlanta sent us an email with the following link to ‘The Beatles: Here Comes The Sun! With a Guitar Solo You’ve Never Heard Before’ Magic! Mr S and I met to this song many years ago so it is special for us and this makes it even more so. Have a listen: http://gizmodo.com/5880091/the-beatles-here-comes-the-sun
3 Singing with The Treggies tonight was, as usual, a good laugh and a challenge, all the more so when H’s keyboard suddenly had an attack of the Clangers so no-one could find their note. It recovered and so did we. Now we’re all ready for The Countryman Shout next Sunday.
