Having met Meudon for the first time during the Hotel Inspector and under the excitement of Alex Polizzi, it was with a ravenous curiosity that I headed back to Meudon to sup wines and catch up on post Polizzi...
Hot on the heels of Falmouth Week, Fowey Royal Regatta runs from 14 – 20 August when the estuary fills with sails and the town with events as diverse from carnival and fireworks to a pasty eating competition, red arrows and a flora...
Where can you catch street carnivals, yachtie totty and the Red Arrows? The Fowey Royal Regatta. No ordinary sailing regatta, this historic event isn’t all about the spectacle of boats skimming the ocean crests under sail. Throngs of...
I can dance a sailor’s jig after a couple of pints of Spingo. I can hoist sails and pull ropes (err herm, I mean ‘sheets’, to use correct nautical terminology). I can even man the helm if I’m told which way to point a boat. But...
Get your beer goggles on this week with Falmouth's Beer Festival: 21-22nd of October. Pull up a...

I heard about the Falmouth Pop-ups on the proverbial grapevine (read: Facebook) and wanted to meet the founder, Annie. Choc-full of energy and enthusiasm about pop up restaurants, jams, art and building her garage; Annie is a complete...
I had so much fun at my Steeldivas burlesque class that for the last hour and a half, I’ve been sitting ebay-ing longline bras and frilly corsets when I should be writing up a review. I cannot wait to try it...

The Love Cornish Food campaign is all over Twitter (#LoveCornishFood) and the local foodie’s lips (Mmm – no hash tag necessary). To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the British Food Fortnight there is a campaign raging across the...
Michael is a rap star … or at least he is when he dreams, but growing up in rural Cornwall he’s never had a chance to find his community. One day, after being kicked out of home after a fight with his father, he sets off to London...

After months of reading, editing, commissioning, designing and proofing, The Parabola Project Issue III: Horizons will be hitting the shelves this November with a launch party to...
If you haven’t explored Cornwall from the water, you are missing half of what the county has to offer. Kayaking is a good starting point for those who didn’t get their D of E gold and aren’t fully au fait with wild adventure. Don...
Huge congratulations to all who took home some gorgeous and glitzy awards from the Food Magazine’s 2013 Reader Awards; in a rather fabulous ceremony in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter on 7th January 2013....
When GCG was invited to The Meudon Hotel to review for Channel 5’s ‘The Hotel Inspector’ with the gorgeous Alex Polizzi – we were not just tempted, but overly excited. It was a chance to meet the owners, find out about the...
