Working weekend

I worked on Saturday and Sunday, quite normal for professional musicians to do so, as that's when everyone else likes to go out!  I took photos as the weekend unfolded

Saturday ; Always start with a good breakfast to get through a tiring day; porridge with blueberries and yoghurt, yum! 

                                                                                                 

And a row or 2 of crochet before I leave

Sunday; concert in church with amazing ceiling cornice 

and ornate clock

Waiting for the audience to arrive

A little sustenance before the concert  

I'm all Beethovened out; time to head home with a last look at the concert venue, beautifully lit for the evening.

   

 
 

 

Moon

Arriving home last night I saw the moon bright with golden light in the sky above the house.

A little later, it was silver

I love this Roger McGough poem about the moon

Mrs Moon
sitting up in the sky
little old lady
rock-a-bye
with a ball of fading light
and silvery needles
knitting the night

Good weekend

Flowers everywhere at the Ayr Flower Show

Crochet hexagons, there's more of them!

Finished......I'm thinking it would look good with a partner!?

Some weekend light reading

Flowers on coriander plants

Raindrops on rosebud (I'm starting to sound like Julie Andrews!)

 Some snapshots of a good weekend. Hope yours was fun too, what ever you did.

Sunset and stained glass

Another beautiful late evening sky. I took this on Wednesday night at 11pm when the temperature was still an amazing 23 degrees. 

The weather has been so good, hot, hot, hot! Let's hope it carries on for a good summer, unlike last year's washout. 

I'm writing this post at my dad's house in Liverpool. There is some beautiful stained glass in his house,

where I and my siblings grew up, so we tend to not look at it as 

appreciatively as we might; 

it's just part of the fabric of the house 

But it is lovely, catching the light and filling the house with colour.

 

We are travelling to the Yorkshire Dales today for a week's holiday, can't wait! I hope I'll still be online and able to post, as we have lots of lovely outings and treats planned; but just in case I disappear for a bit, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog and left kind and encouraging comments. I really appreciate you stopping by and your kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying my photos and thoughts. 

May collage

I made a collage of photos I've taken over the last month. 

I think I'll do this every month, as it's a nice way of summing up events of the last 28-31 days. I also did one each for March and April which you can look at if you click on the collages sidebar thingy.

Happy Easter

Wishing you a happy weekend!

A bit of calm

Green fingers!

I hope you have enjoyed all this greenness! I'd love to feature another colour theme in the coming weeks......I wonder which I'll choose?

Much loved tile which I bought in Lisbon 

Only water!

Seedlings for my veg patch

These trees really stand out in their urban surroundings

Swoon.... it was love at first sight!

Gorgeous green

I thought it would be interesting to have a colour theme to my posts for the rest of this week. A couple of blogs I read took part in a "green" week recently, which is a lovely idea, so I thought I'd follow suit, and finish this week in green mood.
