Sculpture of the Month - Lights, Camera, Action !

Pierre started watching TV from a very early age. For his birthdays or Christmas, he would ask for a camera, an old movie or books about film stars... anything to do with the cinema, he immersed himself in all this world, and dreamed that one day he would partake in it.

Well then, at the ripe age of 56, after years of saving, Pierre has left his hometown of Lyon in France, he has sold his 1972 Citroen 2CV, said goodbye to the world of fruit and vegetables (he worked in the family green grocer business) and has headed out to LA, the land of possibilities.

For his very first project, Pierre has decided to direct and produce a film about the "Life and Times of Otters" his most favourite animal in the world. 

He has been living in Canada for the last 6 years, trying to get footage on the elusive North American River Otter. So far, he has not seen anything, however, Pierre is not giving up. 

Painting of the Month - Watch Out!

This is Riccardo, he loves collecting vintage swimming caps, watching synchronized swimming and he is always ready to wash the dishes.

Yes siree bob, Riccardo seems to enjoy anything to do with water.

His best friend Rupert, the rubber duck, is quite supportive, always by his side.

This evening, he has decided to really make a splash!
So, "Watch Out!", because here he comes.

My Life As A Gondolier - Dinos' talk

People are asking me what is it like to be married to a celebrity? 

It only twigged when I noticed that there are still some signs around Fowey, advertising his fundraising talk and lunch for the Fowey Festival of Words and Music. 
I explain that all the town's A-listers are probably sunning themselves in the Caribbean, the B-listers aren't able to free themselves at such short notice, the C-listers are busy washing their hair and hence, the only D-lister who wasn't booked, was my little paddling Gondolier man Dino!

Foweys' D-list celebrity, tells a story

Inexplicably, it was completely sold out, and if I'm honest, a bit of a success.
