Well, where did that week go? I’m sure someone stole a couple of days
because I certainly don’t have a lot to show for a whole week.
On Thursday we went to a super concert by Maghull Wind
Orchestra (https://www.facebook.com/#!/MaghullWindOrchestra?fref=ts) which was
part of the celebration for the Frank Hornby Festival. They really are improving each time we hear
them so we’ll be going to see them again, next Monday, at Proms in the Park,
Liverpool One. We went to another concert on Saturday in
Southport – Sefton Music Education Partnership put on a wonderful show in
collaboration with members of the Halle Orchestra and some children from out of
the area. It was a really memorable
evening – these young people are so talented and enthusiastic.
On Friday, the Queen Mary 2 came into the cruise terminal in
Liverpool so, naturally, we went to see her – we actually went over to the
Wirral so that we could photograph the ship against the backdrop of the Liver
Buildings and the other wonderful waterfront buildings. The light was dreadful and we were very
lucky not to get a soaking but I’m hoping for a couple of half decent shots. In the meantime, here is the only one which
I’ve had chance to look at - I’ll post some more when I’ve sorted them out.
Because I’ve been sorting out my entries for a couple of
photography competitions, I’ve haven’t done any weaving or spinning all week so
I’m beginning to get withdrawal symptoms – let’s hope I can get back to it
soon. I did, however, go to a brilliant workshop
given by Dianna Morrison, http://www.dianamorrisondesigns.co.uk/
who was so helpful and generous with her
expertise - her scarves are exquisite.
We used merino wool to make felt ‘bobbles’ on a chiffon scarf – a really
exciting new technique for me. I only
made a sample, but I can’t wait until I have time to do the real thing – it might
be a while though – lots of other things
I should do first.
