carnivals and jazz in the park

Well it has been a funny week or so, been quite busy with the house trying to get the spare room decorated after the ceiling dipped when the men finished the roof!!! it looks great now it is all done, finally got hubby to get rid of an armchair that will fit nowhere except this room YAY it took some persuading i can tell you, got some new furniture wardrobe, chest of drawers and a bedside cabinate looks good now its all done.
Any way i digress. Here are some piccies of the jazz in the park at Pencarrow house which we went to last weekend and the weather all be it a little chilly stayed dry. Beautiful place will have to go back when its open, the gardens are lovely and full of colour. The jazz was fun had a boogie to keep warm and great atmosphere and good company thanks K and P and Josh

The wonderful grounds of Pencarrow

These were taken around 7pm you can see the shadows lengthening

Loved the vibrant colour of the hydrangeas

They have extensive grounds as you can see
all so well kept too

Would like to go back again to see more of the grounds


This is the house itself not to imposing or to grand



These next ones are from the St Columb carnival, great fun to watch and great fun to take part by the looks of things, our carnival week was ended by a big firework display on the recreation ground. It is a big event here it seems to draw the whole community together which isn't a bad thing young and old take part in different activities throughout the week.

The old carnival queens reunion it was so funny!


Everyone playing their part so well HaHa


They certainly had a sense of humour, click on to read it is quite funny!


A lot of thought went into the costumes


Great one for the kids how they walked all that way
in this costume is beyond me


The Lion the witch and the wardrobe was the theme


Brilliant eh?


Just some fun costumes

The band led the prosession off

Along with the steam traction engine, which is our neighbours son
saw us and sounded the horn jumped out of our skin it was so loud!

As well as all these activities i went to see Steve Winwood in concert he of ex cream, traffic,blind faith fame. Stood about five rows back so had a really good view did some good tracks old and new "higher love "being my favourite of the night. A good week even if it was a little hectic.

Deliveries and James Taylor

Well i am having to wait in this morning for a new washing machine as my old one gave up the ghost! Three things went at once in the house , the kettle which tony dropped in the sink { he would have been in more trouble if he had cracked my new sink} the microwave and the afore mentioned washing machine. Delivery should be AM but we will see.
I am also looking after my friends dogs this weekend been up there this morning and greeted with such love will be up there four times during the day and walkies of course! it is nice because i go at their dinner time at 5.3o and stay until around 6.30 and have a cuddle on the couch with them, gives me some relaxation time it is quite calming giving them strokes and cuddles, i put the tv on nice cup of coffee in hand ah bliss!
As a present for my birthday i had tickets to go and see James Taylor so my favourite james song is:
YouTube - James Taylor - You've Got a Friend (Beacon Theatre 1998): ""
The words of this song are brilliant
