Cathedral, Automata and Boogie Woogie Stomp

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.

Truro, Kindness and Skype

22 Dec

1 Truro was lovely on this rather warm December day (11C/50F). We did some shopping, had hot chocolates at Oscar’s, visited the Cathedral and brought pasties home for lunch. Click on any photo for the caption and detail.

T stroking a beautiful Golden Doodle called Cara, only 9 months old!

2 Arriving home, I discovered one of our lovely friends had called in to bring Christmas wishes as we had had to miss their Winter Solstice party and G also brought me a super collection of DVDs for my recovery time after my operation on 29th December. Such love and kindness are much appreciated. 3 This afternoon, after waving goodbye to four of our family, L and Grand-baby B Skyped and that was just a delight, listening to so many new words. This age of language learning is such magic.

Truro, Owls and Flower Stall

12 Feb

1 We went shopping in Truro this afternoon after one storm had passed and just before the next one came in. This very beautiful curved street, Walsingham Place in Truro, dates back to the Georgian period.

2 Owls were a kind of family emblem and these two are lovely. I was very tempted but resisted!

Delightful owls

3 What a lovely flower display this is, in the equally lovely little indoor market in Lemon Street, Truro.

‘May Your Home ….’, Truro and Garden Art

17 Mar

1 This morning I found a scrap of paper on which I had written: ‘ May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.’ I’ve just looked it up and find it is an old Irish blessing which seems rather serendipitous given that today is St Patrick’s Day! Happy Day to all of you out there with any Irish in your blood (like me!)

2 We’ve spent the day in Truro where I did much of my growing up. I love this hexagonal post box and Walsingham Place and even the concrete car park becomes attractive when Mr S calls ‘Psst’ from near the top!

3 We have several sculptures in our garden. This one is ‘Copper Rook’, whom we call Muker as that is the name of the village in North Yorkshire where we bought him on our Wedding Anniversary in 2000. He was made by Michael Kusz and we love him! This one’s for you, David Heilman. Hope you like it.
