Off to St Ives this morning

Off to St Ives this morning in the rain! We hope Colin will bring his new selection of umbrellas!
 A new project brewing, more news soon........
 and awoke this morning looking through old beautiful poems getting ready for our Fundraiser.....

early notice but we hope you will put it in your diaries....

A chance to hear some evocative poems, and catch up on the fun and variety of the 2iis pop ups and improvisations, featuring local Penzance musician George ( i will ask him his surname today?!) who we love working with.

Another person we are very grateful to and love working with is Andy Parker who has just hung over 12 photographs in The Old Dairy, Bread St, Penzance. We hope to have a little "do", launch for these (asap), but they are already there, so do drop in to have a look at them. Peter looked at some of Andy's work the other day and said, "Every picture tells a story".

Big thank you also to Kneehigh Connections, Anna Marie Murphy, Vicky Abbott and Mary Woodvine. 

(So nice to see them all again.) Last week we enjoyed a fantastic singing workshop with some wonderful love themed poetry thrown in! and we are really looking forward to seeing Tristan and Iseult at the Hall for Cornwall next week.

Also creative and exciting visit from Jo Mayes and David Greaves and friends in the afternoon.

 I felt truly nostalgic, Anna and I worked together on Shallal before it was even called that, Vicky and i last sang together at Kerry's wedding about 18 years ago and David used to come to my classes in centres when he was student! turning 50 is .....! interesting!

and yesterday visiting Eddie's excellent show at Camborne College i met Shirley - we last worked together at Dance and Draw our first community art group, Dance in the morning and Art in the afternoon, at Mabe and she remembered me.

Nigel Maynard ( who kindly curated our Sketchbooks in 2iis ) also had wonderful photos on show and David Chinn from Shallal 2 had lovely work there, so much to admire.

Of to pack up, at present we are Jo Lumber, Skye and Anna in the car and we have to stop for ice cream to keep them sweet at the end of a long day, who knows maybe St Ives will provide a new ice cream for them to try!
