Eat

One huge highlight of a trip like this one is how much fun it is to eat. I love to eat, and I think it is fun because we were created to do it. Even Ruprecht was created to do it. That is why it is sad when people feel compelled to look at food as if it is some sort of enemy, when it is not an enemy at all. It is a lovely friend.

During my first two St Ives weeks, my food choices were relatively simple because I was alone. A sandwich here, a bowl of soup there, and they were all really good. But on week 3, my British friends joined me and opened the door to a great change, three times a day. None of this sandwich and soup business. Our only trouble was having too MUCH choice. The number of restaurants we are surrounded by beggars the imagination. 

 Last night we ate at Ardor. 

Tonight it was Harbour View House.

Tomorrow for the Sunday Carvery it will be The Badger, in Lelant.

Later in the week it will be The Ugly Butterfly, for an afternoon tea. And these are not by any means all. There will be more.

Tonight we started by looking at the menus, discussing and choosing what we wanted to eat. I'm afraid I don't have a menu to read to you, but I will check with friend Rosie later who will remember every single item we had. But it almost didn't matter, because all of a sudden the most beautiful two voices wafted our way. They were young (20's). They were beautiful. They smiled. And they sounded like angels.

We were treated to the most lovely little concert in the Harbour View House, with the sea shining behind them (there was a plate glass window all along the back) and the spectacular sky above. The young man introduced his sister, and then played the guitar and sang with her in the most talented fashion. We were instantly hooked.

When it became time for us to leave, I asked the two of them how I could access their music. They did not have a way, yet. I said how much it had meant to me that they were a brother/sister group. And then as we moved through the door, a beautiful blond woman stopped to tell us that those two wonderful young people are her children! 

Her face shone as she told us how proud she is of them. How she loves going to their engagements. And that if we want to find out a little more about them, I should type "Globaljamming" into Google or facebook. This was promising! and I shall try it but not just yet, because I am supposed to be in my bed right now.

Do you mind?

See you along the way!
