Go past THE MAGICAL bus stop on your right...

THE bus stop! THE FOWEY bus stop! THE MAGICAL FOWEY bus stop. It is simply marvelous. 
Whenever I see THAT bus stop, I think... "Ahhhhhhhh HOME". 
It is right at the beginning of the town and it visually yells "Welcome to quaint, friendly, charming, amazing, glorious Fowey".
I am positive that other towns, village and cities, have someone in their neighbourhood that paints their bus stops and even changes their theme each year, however, ours is pretty special.
We have a person, I have no idea who this person is, and they do a fabulous job adding cushions, magazines and even fresh flowers.
Last year we had the adorable Winnie the Pooh with Piglet, they were so cute. Each time we walked, ran or drove past, it would bring a smile to our lips. 
Bus stop person, whoever you are, you are a star!

Sculpture of the Month - Next stop, Cornwall !

Beth Kittow loves Colin. They have known each other for 19 years, they do EVERYTHING together. They enjoy Ikebana classes, spin bike classes and even go to their pedicure appointments together! And naturally Besty, their miniature Jack Russell, comes along as well.
They also relish many old fashion traditions: they are passionate about typewriters, they dress in their finest each Sunday for lunch and they adore their vespa with the sidecar.
Today they are driving down to the picturesque, beautiful town of Fowey. They have filled the coffee flask, strapped in Besty and off they have gone. Next stop, Cornwall.

Painting of the Month - George Best!

This is George Best, born 1946 and lived the next 59 years to the FULLEST! 
He is renowned for his football prowess, however, he is also remembered for his love of women, alcohol, his jet set lifestyle, and his infamous quotes... here are just a few:
"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life."
"I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World."
On David Beckham:
"He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."
On being named Footballer of the Century in 1999 
“It's a pleasure to be standing here. It's a pleasure to be standing up."
On being sent to prison for drink driving in 1984: 
"Well, I suppose that's the knighthood f****d.'"
and
our favourite... 
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
