I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration.

I've never seen Matilda so I don't know that song but I've just listened and it's lovely. 99p treats can be just as good as £99 ones.
ReplyDeleteI thought of your Eleanor as I was listening; she has the soft, sweet voice that this needs. Will she ever go into the recording studio again? And I hope she keeps up her singing at university.
DeleteThe year 6 at school did Matilda for their end of term production. It is really good, a family musical in all ways. I've been waiting until I could justify it to get it. And 99p is good value!
Eleanor's singing teacher retired just as she finished Year 11 and with the pressure of A Levels, she never got round to finding another. It's a shame really as she'd reached Grade 6, there were only two more grades to do. She also gave up the youth theatre at this time for the same reasons. She still continually sings in the house though and who knows what societies she'll join at uni. I'm sure she will go in the recording studio again at some point, she really enjoyed it.
DeleteBoth my two loved the story and movie. I've never considered the musical for them though an they both like the theatre. May have to investigate further.
