Alayne and Himalayan Honeysuckle

I met this beautiful bird, I mean dame, I mean broad, I mean M’lady at the dining table of Ben and April Bennett.

On Friday evenings, the Bennetts invite guests, neighbours, friends, and families to gather at their lovely dining table in a wonderful home in Cornwall: Lower Penvose.

On Friday evenings I met Alayne, Nosi, Darius, Neil (Healing Hands), Chris, and, Ian & Sonia. Maybe there are others but it’s been a month and that’s why I need to be more timely in recording.

The conversations were lively and topical. Current events and history were discussed and no one felt the need to grab a smart phone to fact check a neighbour. Sure, there were bristles and slight flaring of nares but the key take away for me was a lesson of tolerance. Many people in England assure me that they are experiencing a level of dissatisfaction with their leaders and countrymen but it feels more civil and respectful.

I am trying to find more photos but this is the truth about great experiences for me: I forget to take a picture because I am in the moment.
