Last night’s full moon, the Pink Moon, called pink as this is the season of much pink blossom, came on a clear night, much to my delight. I do love seeing the full moon.
In Truro today for some quick shopping, the sun was shining on the front of the cathedral and lighting up all the glorious stonework.
The Forget-me-not border has some white Bluebells popping up and they look lovely. 
After a lovely breakfast with friends we watched the swans gliding about the lake before going shopping in Truro. 
I first saw the sunset in the car windows and then looked West to see the real thing.
I love this particular view of Truro Cathedral, looking down the curve of the lovely Walsingham Place.
I had heard that there was an exhibition of automata in Truro Museum and we were not disappointed by the wonderfully crazy things on show. It’s well worth visiting if you are one of my readers in Cornwall.
I was watching a video of the lovely Angeline Morrison when this Boogie Woogie one came up next and I just had to share it. I just love how how everyone listening and watching has a smile on their face. I hope it makes you smile too.
Well, that was quite an evening! We were just into Hark the Herald Angels’ when the fire alarm went off and we all, 100s of us, had to leave the Cathedral and move into the cobbled square in front. But – we had a great time in the cold outside! Claire, our choir leader, took the crowd in her hands and we sang for them and with them while the firemen went in and did their thing! We loved that bit better than the whole!

Walking home through a very quiet Truro.

More tomorrow, it’s very late. 🙂
As our local children start the new school year, our local knitter has produced another lovely post box topper in honour of Rick, our crossing man who sees children and adults alike safely over the road. 
We loved how this piece of street furniture has been made special with the brass cut-out of Truro Cathedral on the sides.
There are still lots of Cosmos and Dahlias flowering at the allotment so we picked a bunch to enjoy at home.
We shopped in Truro today and were very taken with all the hanging baskets and tubs which add a glorious touch of colour to every street and passage . 
We knew which way the wind was blowing but the clock was not much use for keeping us on time!
Outside the bookshop was this lovely sign with a dish of water for the dogs passing by in the heat.
Today’s blog is dedicated to my lovely singing friend M and her dear Mum who is in hospital.
Here you have a glimpse of Truro Cathedral from Cathedral Lane where the hanging baskets are glorious .
The hard working gardening team in Truro have filled the city with flowers in baskets, tubs and up lampposts, all beautifully tended and full of scented petunias. Here they are seen against the beautiful buildings on Lemon Street.. 
We had too many blueberries and they needed using up so I made some scrumptious Blueberry jam, just four little jars. 
I had my waffle with maple syrup and blueberries this morning.
Our Sweet Peas are lovely and smell divine.

There’s a story behind this lovely painting of Truro Cathedral by F. Robson, possibly Featherstone Robson, 1880-1936.
The lovely Mr S and I met in late October 1966 while at college in South Yorkshire. I had come from Truro and Mr S from Acton, London. Walking through Acton in early January 1967 after being in London for a few days to meet his parents as we had just decided to get married, we spotted this painting in a second hand shop and it seemed like a sign! It can’t have been expensive but I can’t remember how much. We bought it and it has had pride of place ever since.
What a treat to meet friends for breakfast again, lovely food and a long, long catch-up. Join us as we spot some charming sights as we stroll back to our car.
Going back into the bookshop was a special pleasure after such a long time. It wasn’t busy but the city of Truro was buzzing and very full of shoppers.
We now have a new supply of reading but one book that looked interesting, I left behind. Has anyone out there read it? Any comments? 
I may have to go back for it…..
The baskets and planters in Truro are looking lovely, very Spring-like.
I love the tiles and all the shapes on this bit of Truro Cathedral.
One of the Cathedral gardens is labelled ‘Wild Truro’ and in amongst the wild flowers was this bee-box. I hadn’t thought of putting pine cones in a bee-box.
