Ken's Saddles

What a thrill to see Ken Matthews saddles. He brought one by to the studio. He has made them all his life. His father was a shoemaker, which sparked conversation between us at a local farmers market. He pops by every week to discuss leather work and other things, and also pass on tips for stitching techniques etc. Geek out!

Sunshine in Sicily

Mount Etna!

Late Summer at Summerleaze

Northcott Beach wanderings

Best little tea-room for miles. The owner Margaret is a real character - I only had 75p but she gave me a massive slice of cake to eat while I perched on the bank of the stream to read my book, with the words "life's not all about money is it". That's cool.

Another Pendeen car boot treasure : 'Heart, a personal journey through it's myths and meanings' by Gail Godwin. Of course she lives in Woodstock, New York.

Lovely light and lavender in Cornwall

Buckets of the stuff, I'm thinking of making some lavender hand cream / foot cream / body scrub; the list goes on.
