Rehearsals are coming along for The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Wednesday was a fantastic evening of workshopping scenes, the dance choreography for the Princess of Wales’ ball, created by Sophia, and the final fight between Chauvelin & Sir Percy during the mob storming the prison.

Our cast worked their socks off, and this is going to look absolutely incredible.

Meantime the costume team are putting things together for the cast, and the costume designs are absolutely stunning.

Botanical Garden

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English Irish country suburban garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon..Bush Vetch (Vicia sepium)Cowslip (Primula veris)Scarlet Pimpernel (Lysimachia arvensis)Meadow Foam (Limnanthes douglasii) aka Poached Egg Plant

These are all wild flowers, often considered to be weeds, but I like having them in my garden!

AHH Spock found the elusive Wordle fugitive more easily today

Where was that quote from sir did you find out?

A story called The Scarlet Pimpernel Spock with  a daring hero often in disguise at the centre of the tale apparently. I think I'll have a read, Baroness Orkzy 1905 CE apparently.

Yes Spock an Earth yarn set in 1792 CE

You're going to read a book sir?

Current main reading end of May 2024. I have some more books on the go more sporadically. But the ones below are my current main reads. All read on my Kindle. #Bookstodon #Books #Reading #Kindle #Fiction #NonFiction #Fantasy #ScarletPimpernel #Cats #HarukiMurakami #MiddleEarth #Tolkien #LordOfTheRings #Churches #ChurchHistory
One of the things I really like about #ATaleOfTwoCities is that #Dickens doesn’t pull any punches in describing how awful the aristocracy was to the poor, but he also doesn’t condone the Reign of Terror, either. That’s the sort of nuance that seems hard to accomplish. Read a book recentlyish which built on the #ScarletPimpernel, and it failed to call any condemnation down on the former rulers of France. Made me angry. (Not it’s only flaw, btw.)
Hm, the eternal search for XO Sauce goes on. Rang the Asia Supermarket in Belfast and they're out of it and don't know when they'll have it in again…

This is an ode to farmer Martin Ritchie in Essex, who cannot bear the thought of spraying his field of barley with weed killers. These are just a few of the wildflowers and their visitors to be found in the field. It was a joy to camp on his meadow.
