Miracle Theatre & The Death of Sherlock Holmes

Playing in an enviable list of locations with rave reviews already littering the Google search, Bill Scott’s The Death Of Sherlock Holmes has piqued my interest. Let me put down my copy of The Strand and leave my pipe smoking to let...

Miss Peapods, Falmouth

It’s all I can do not to squeal with delight and dance my way up to the counter when I spot a mother and daughter, sat perfectly serenely at a table by Miss Peapod’s poster-clad entrance, having a casual catchup over...is...

Miss Peapod’s summer sessions

Miss Peapod’s may well have green flash credentials: locally sourced food, organic and free range meat and minimum waste as well as a couple of turbines, solar panels and more but I am convinced that the highly insulating, two foot...

Olympic Torch Lighting up Cornwall

Close your eyes and let the iconic ivory tinkling of Vangelis Chariots of Fire guide you across sandy expanses in slow motion. Seven years in the making, the Greatest Show on Earth is almost upon us, and as part of the official build up...

On a ramble with Rick Stein at The Poly

That Rick Stein loves food, especially fish, is a fact. That during An Evening With Rick Stein the food was rather incidental to the anecdotes is also...

Pandora Inn: Canoeing for beginners

Canoeing from Loe Beach to the Pandora Inn - Mylor, sounds like a perfect Saturday afternoon activity. Well in theory it is, in practise canoeing is bloody hard. Thank God there was a pint of cider waiting at the...

Pitch and Putt – Falmouth

Nothing is quite as satisfying as whacking a ball with a club with all your might. Of course, this is not technically how you play a game of Tiger Woods-esque calibre golf. However, if you are not aspiring to lessen your handicap then...

Polly put the kettle on: Gyllyngdune Garden’s Tea Festival

Nothing makes me happier than the thought of a tea festival – drinking tea may be my favourite pastime. It is the perfect accompaniment to any conversation (sometimes certain conversations may lead to a boozier accompaniment, of...

Santa Claus is coming to clown…

Santa’s Grotto goes contemporary with Swamp Circus taking the sleigh reins this December. Rumour has it that Father Christmas himself with be stopping by, visiting his secret grotto within the Big Top in Falmouth Rugby...

South African Wine Tasting

When Toby & Julia Wright of Atlantic Wine invited me to a South African Wine Tasting, there was no hesitation; a five course meal at the Greenbank Hotel, Falmouth with accompanying vino from Waterkloof wines… chin...

Stranded at the Drive In…

Do the truffle shuffle! Oh yes, Goonies at The Drive In! Atlantic FM and Swanpool Beach Café teamed up to host two brilliantly retro evenings; screening firstly The Italian Job – well they are sponsored by Ocean Falmouth Mini - and...

The Shed

Far from being a ‘man’ haven – complete with power tools and hidden whiskey (how very stereotypical of me) - The Shed restaurant is a contemporary clash of 1950’s burlesque glamour with a glitzy neon retro vibe. Chandeliers,...

VINTAGE FUN AT THE BEDRUTHAN STEPS HOTEL

Looking cool on the beach has never (sob) come naturally to me. But at last I have discovered a sure-fire way to sass up my style and boost my beach...

Walk: St Just-in-Roseland to St Mawes Castle

I know where I would like the master bedroom, and have decided that the dungeon would be great for the library – “Perfect, I declared, we could be on Grand Designs!” JT smiled indulgently, “I don’t think, Darling, that English...

Walking on water with WESUP

“Guys, you really don't need a wetsuit, you won't fall in and you'll be way too hot.” I really should have heeded Sean's advice as I pulled on my summer shortie in preparation for my stand-up paddleboarding debut. Several people...

WESUP launch party – Despicable Partying

I am totally and passionately in love with Sean of Wesup, of course as a professional I would not let that colour my reviewing of the launch party;...

Willow and Stone

Dashing into Willow and Stone on a wet and grey morning was like scurrying into an eclectic eccentric’s haven. Absolutely my cup of tea. Despite describing the shop as an outlet of electivity, a strong and enticing aesthetic runs...
