Sculpture of the Month - Yippeeeeeee

Marco is a retired postman, and that's where it all began. 

He has been cycling for many years now, avoiding grumpy dogs, battling those insurmountable hills, and delivering the post through rain, hail or snow. 

Yes, Marco has paid his dues, so, now he wants to have fun. 

Here he is coming down Polruan Hill, flashing by in a blur and everyone seems to be aware of his pending arrival, as he is often heard yelling... "Yipppeeeeeeeee!"

Painting of the Month - Picasso Paints Nude

What can we say about Mr Pablo Picasso... He lived a full, decadent and exuberant life, he has loved, and lost, he was famous, rich, and naturally, he could do as his wished... And, here is a prime example...

On the other hand, Gigi, his muse, is not impressed. She really does think she is much better than this, she is desperately yearning for a cigarette and a kir royale... Can you guess what nationality she is? 

Spring is just around the corner

The mornings are brighter, the air is sweeter, the birds are singing, and all is well in Fowey. Spring is just around the corner, I can feel it!

What are the signs I hear you ask...

Well, firstly, our magnificent bus stop has just got her new look for the incoming season. We have this fabulous citizen, who has been beautifying the bus stop for about 15 years now, she paints decorates, funds and maintains this fine building. I recall driving into Fowey for the very first time, and seeing this lovely sight as we approached the town, and to think, it was left untouched, in this immaculate state for the entire summer... I was captivated.

Next, most of the village and the surrounding countryside is overflowing with amazing daffodils, primroses, pansys, violets, grape hyacinths, azaleas, tulips, crocus and snowdrops... what a sight!

I kind of feel that there are little pixies that work during the night, making sure that we wake to a lovely vision each morning. 

It seems that the "Fowey in Bloom" people have also been quite busy, planting and watering and preparing our village.

So, check it out for yourselves, magical!
