This afternoon I sang with my choir at the St Day Blossail where the blossoming apple trees were blessed and sung to, there was maypole dancing, Morris dancing, face painting and finally a concert from us, The Suitcase Singers.
Afterwards as I walked away I passed the lovely old roofless church.
You’ll have heard of the Wassail, the custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest Today was the inaugural Blossail held in St Day, singing to the trees, now in blossom, in the newly planted Community Orchard. It was a truly lovely day with Maypole dancing, picnics in the orchard and of course, singing. Enjoy the gallery.
We have had a fabulous walk with our friend today along the SW Coast path around St Anthony Head.
We are off now to Falmouth Pavilions to the Three Daft Monkeys cd launch event! Dancing all night!
We were home too late last night to post this so here is a photo gallery of our day starting with a walk in the afternoon on the cliffs at Chapelporth with our eldest daughter who has been with us for a lovely few days, moving on to The Redruth Christmas Parade where my choir was singing Christmas carols for the families waiting to see Father Christmas and on to dinner with friends prior to dancing the night away to the music of The Three Daft Monkeys at their album, Of Stones and Bones, launch party. I left out the morning getting on with the decorating! A beautiful day from start to finish! Click on any photo for detail and the caption.
