'Harry' Takes a Break in Bournemouth

A visit to the museum this summer by Dr Martin Smith of Bournemouth University has started the ball rolling for a tantalising research project regarding our beloved tarred head known affectionately as 'Harry'. Martin is an osteoarchaeologist and was excited to come across 'Harry' in the cabinets as it turns out he/she could be one of only three such specimens known to exist in the UK. Today he came...

Giving thanks

I like to say thank you. One of the things I love most about Japan is that there are so many ways to say thank you and show appreciation. When I got back from Japan last month, I felt like I was being so rude in the UK because I was only saying thank you or thanks to shop and waiting staff a couple of times at most when receiving stuff. Today being Thanks Giving in America I thought it would be an...

Beautiful Birmingham

I was born in Birmingham. I lived there for the first five years of my life, went away but came back at the age of fourteen, after which I lived and worked in and around the city for the next twenty five years, give or take the occasional year or so off in foreign places like the Outer Hebrides or Cornwall. I still visit the city but rarely now, and yesterday I was reminded of why. Birmingham was never...

Duchess of Cornwall is an unintentional hit with Jerrod, 3

The Duchess of Cornwall bumped into a young recipient of her charity work yesterday — and at first he was none too pleased. Jerrod, 3, who attends a nursery that uses the facilities of the Barnado’s centre in Harlesden, northwest London, was a little squashed when she accidentally backed into him as she bent down to talk to a little girl. But after pulling a face and rubbing his head, he...

Just For Fun Caption Competition

Regular Bird Watching Contributor to The Cornwall Blog, Norman Greaves has asked if we can find a witty caption to this photograph. He took the shot a couple of weeks ago on The Lizard along with some other eye catching images that we will be adding to the blog shortly. To get the ball rolling, he suggested: "Out of the way short stuff!" Without being rude, I think you could do better...

What have I been up to?!

After going on about being a bad blogger in my last post here we are five weeks later and here I am very ashamedly writing this after promising myself to do better and post more often! I do not know quite where the time has gone, is it just me or is time moving faster nowadays? Since I last blogged I have ........... Had tea with friends, Christine, Gertie and Angela........ Started to try and tidy...

Repatriation And All That

Easy. An amendment or a one-clause Bill restoring the supremacy of British over EU law wherever the two conflict, and, to get the ball rolling, declaring that this shall be the case with regard to the United Kingdom's historic, and internationally lawful, fishing rights: 200 miles or to the median line. That way lies the capture of Lib Dem strongholds from every seat in Cornwall, round North Norfolk,...

...And Counting

Following the example of the BBC's Autumnwatch programme, we decided to have a go at counting all the species of bird which can be seen or heard from our garden today. All was going well and within the first few minutes we had counted Lapwings, House Sparrows, Great Tits and Black-headed Gulls. Later we added Carrion Crows, a Kestrel, a Woodpigeon, Goldfinches, Magpies, Dunnocks, a Robin and even a...

My Clever Parents

We drove down to see my Parents yesterday, a horrible journey in the pouring rain. What a grotty start to half term, we saw loads of caravans heading off to the New Forest, Devon and Cornwall - I only hope they have better weather there. My Mother has been a busy lady, she's doing a City & Guilds embroidery course and if you thought this was a group of ladies sitting in a circle doing a little...

Cornwall farmers raise £3,500 for agricultural charity

The Cornwall Committee of the RABI recently organised a second most successful 'County Farmers' Ball' at the Pavilion Centre at the Royal Cornwall Showground, near Wadebridge. The black-tie event attracted guests from all over Cornwall with dinner being followed by entertainment from singer ‘Molly The Moocha’ with her glamorous sounds of the forties and fifties and dancing well into the...

Seal Naps On Top Of Anchored Buoy

“He’s rather flippant about his talents. Instead of balancing a ball on his nose, like the average seal, this fellow nonchalantly balances his considerable weight on one for a nap. The ball is more accurately a bright pink buoy, in the Fal Estuary in Cornwall, where the seal can often be seen resting his weary [...]

The Scarlet, Cornwall: Two's company at this hotel

Cornwall's new The Scarlet is design-conscious, eco-friendly – and child-free. "We like children and they would have a ball here," says Rebecca Hughes, one of the three sisters who have just opened this hotel, "but Scarlet is intended for adults only, to help couples reconnect." Reconnection is aided by two-person, wood-heated hot tubs overlooking the beach, and "Scarlet...

Jessica 6

It's been a while, so just a quickie to start the ball rolling again. Memories of my leaving party on Thursday: Mistake One - thinking I could get away with no bra. Two: Mojitos and champagne. Three: A four floor nightclub in Bristol Four: Tequila (although in my defence, this came about whilst trying to cope with Mistake Three). Why stop at four? I could go on but I think you get the gist. All of...

Summer School - the finale

A bit delayed but hopefully worth the wait (big stack of stuff to do before the annual sojourn to Cornwall). Here is the group at the end of the week - still smiling you'll notice : ) And here are photos of everyone's completed pieces. I make no apologies for all the photos, everyone's work was so uniquely lovely I couldn't possibly choose just a couple - and besides, I thought you'd like to see "something...

St Ives School

I am now back from my staycation. Eyewear's policy is to not spend too much time on the merely personal details of my "private life", but I will say it was a welcome break. Penzance and St Ives are marvellous places to visit - the people are very warm, the pace is slow, the beaches as beautiful and clean as on the Med (more so), the light fascinating, and the culture and food (often the freshest...
