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!

I'm enjoying a re-read of The Mists of Avalon and am trying to imagine Tintagel Castle as it once was.

Yes I played the piano beautifully and learned very fast. In three years I was able to play the Moonlight Sonata and did recitals.

It is a really hauntingly beautiful piece! Maybe one day I will buy a piano again.
