A Touch of Genius So it’s over for the 34th year - I’m talking about the Flower Festival raising money for Cornish Hospices, (we raised £690 this year) and what a Festival it was! Just the vehicle for celebrating and providing a perfect opportunity for old friends to meet, catch up and compare wrinkles. One friend of Diana’s spent a hugely enjoyable afternoon studying the displays and said how impressed she was with everything. Two members of Callington Methodist Church enjoyed it so much last year that they decided to spend one of their precious free days visiting us again - and they weren’t disappointed. The topic, ‘I AM…’, allowed imaginations to run free and the variety of themes had to be seen to be believed. For Sue’s display (I am the Light of the World) she had bought a globe that levitated and rotated but relied on magnets and placing it in the correct position in order for the magic to work. Suffice it to say that when it worked it was spectacular but getting it in the right place provided hours of ‘fun’. The village organisations really turned up trumps. People’s ability and ingenuity never fail to amaze me. We live in a talented and generous village! There were over thirty floral displays adorning the chapel. They all looked BEAUTIFUL - even the ones that we did with the left over flowers on Thursday evening - it was like a sausage factory. Stick some oasis in front of you, bung in (that’s a technical term) some flowers - then on to the next arrangement! If you didn’t manage to pay a visit you missed a treat. The food was also fabulous and the three days in the kitchen were busy. Besides the usual suspects, we really need to thank Sandra and Marg for their hard work, smiles and volunteering when they didn’t need to. They were examples to us all. Sunday’s morning service was taken by Sue and Bryan Ede and revolved around the Festival theme but also included the dedication of a set of organ hymn books in memory of our friend Peggy and two pulpit Bible translations, ‘The Message’, bought from money given in memory of our friend Mary. Their families were able to join with us for the service and we were so pleased to share memories with them afterwards. The evening Songs of Praise was led by Rev Bryan and Rev Angela Cooper and Monday was the day to TIDY UP! Just think about it, next year (God willing) will be the 35th year of continuous annual Festivals and, as Father Brian Storey once told us, one of his mentors used to say, ‘Anyone can start something but there’s a touch of genius in keeping it going.’ So, well done and thank you to all who supported the event. Helen Hicks P.S. As pictures don’t reproduce terribly well in ‘The Slate’, we’re hoping we’ll be able to add a bonus feature of photos on Chris Hore’s Delabole web-site (www.delabole.com) - all in glorious technicolour. ’
