Sunshine in my heart... the postman has been delivering wonderful things yesterday and today.
A postcard of a favourite NT garden came yesterday; a sunny scene on a rainy day... thank you!
And today a notebook swap from a friend - must post mine to her tomorrow, and a box of delight from Ang; this is her 2by2 stitching in her own words;
I'm in awe of the blacksmith, and also of Ang's piece. Isn't is beautiful 😍
I'll post mine tomorrow when I'm sure Ang has received it.
Today we were blessed with a sunny day, the last until bext week if the weather forecast is to ge believed. I stood on the door step and gazed at the blue sky, noticing the leaves of the bulbs appearing, a few crocuses and the last of our snowdrops. Next-door's daphne wax wafting a lovely fragrance over the fence.
This recording of Dinu Lipatti's last recital at the Besançon Festival is so well known to ne. My mother played it all the time when I was little, and later when she was in hospital she just played it through her headphones on repeat. Schubert's Gflat major impromptu, preceded by sone 'preluding'
It is a beautiful piece of sewing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed.
DeleteThat is a lovely piece that Ang made and I cannot imagine how she did it!
ReplyDeleteShe's such a very clever stitcher !
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how that knot is made - so complicated. Well done Ang!
ReplyDeleteBack to pouring rain today here - yuck
Rain again here... squelch squelch. Nice to have had a reminder of what sunshine looks like...?
DeleteI am in awe of the stitching of both you and Angela. You make such beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊
DeleteWow really lovely! It's nice when good things come in the post.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just!
DeleteI was astonished to read that Lipatti played this final concert while extremely ill and suffering from a high fever. What stoicism and what a loss to the concert world.
ReplyDeleteHe was an astonishingly good pianist, such sensitive playing.
