Since today is a Sunday, all sorts of fun things began to happen. To start with, Tessa (the choir president's dog) was at church. She sat at the front of the Nave, loosely tied there while eyeing her drink of water. Since churchly things must be done neatly and in order, Tessa had long since learned to wait until the church had finished with Communion. There was a time for everything. Even a drink of water.
The Organist's wife was at the church too, of course, and told me that her grandson is 18 now, and about to start college in piano performance. Our choir Master was the boy's piano teacher his whole life, and he is following right along with his grandfather. Isn't it splendid when grandchildren take after their grandparents and become wonderfully successful young pianists?
She showed me a photo of the two grandparents with their grandson, standing together at a performance and smiling to beat the band!
(I know about this first hand because I know one! Yes, dear Readers, I know a splendid young pianist whose grandmother - my sister - taught him to play. And Oooh, he is good.)
Now, something else significant happened today but I don't know if it is because today was a Sunday. I was walking as I always do the first days of my visits, past the lovely place that used to be called The Digey. The Digey is, or was, everybody's favorite place in St Ives. This was because The Digey baked the very best scones ever. Then they closed and it was replaced by Source Kitchen (did not like), and now today I have seen with my own eyes yet another replacement. It's now called "Brunch Matcha Coffee". So now all of you who have visited St Ives and ate at The Digey know as much as I do about it.

I've been dreaming of starting up a Digey all my own in St Ives. Maybe if it wouldn't be such a horrendous difficult enterprise (too much work!), it could be fun. It could be a blast. In fact, it could be...
See you along the way!
