And, for those who don't speak Cornish -

Happy St Piran's Day

For 25 years I lived in the west of England, in the county of Cornwall. Or, as those who keep a note of the Royal Family, it is also known as the Duchy of Cornwall.  However, those who are Cornish born and bred, they consider it a separate country, after all there are 2 rivers who divide Cornwall from the rest of England, and only a short distance between the 2. And like all Countires, they have a patron saint - St Piran

My day of housework didn't completely get finished, as my lounge didn't get done ... so maybe a task for today!

This afternoon I am going to walk into Exeter though as I want to get my hair cut ... later I am meeting up with Tim and Claire to get something to eat before heading home.

So I shall probably look into finishing off some icons in a moment, but before that -









5. The piano company Steinway & Sons was founded by Heinrich Steinweg (later Henry Steinway) in New York City in 1853. Can you play the piano?
I have had 2 serious attempts to learn, but failed. Although I play clarinet (and have played at a high standard), I find it hard to read more than one note at a time.
Mum & Dad played all their lives ... Dad to a pretty high standard. They had a lovely piano (although not a Steinway). They had a Knight, which were also allowed in Steinway Hall, Germany. Andrew plays, and he now has that instrument in his lounge.






Right, let's see what you are all getting up to!
