6 foot onshore Mush

So, no posts for a while due to the arrival of a new baby girl on the 19th March, in the back of the ambulance on the way to hospital no less. An exciting event in many ways, and making the 'Place of Birth' spot on the birth certificate, er, almost redundant. Although 'A30, Cornwall' might be accepted.

In other news, a recent job in this diary of strangeness involved taking a picture for the Daily Mirror of a chap eating a plate of mushy peas. Not the everyday shoot. Witness the story of Rob Mathews, 42, who had allegedly lost 18 stone in seven months on a diet of three tins of mushy peas a day.





















Or had a gastric bypass. You decide.

Tom Bawcock's Eve

This article appears in the December issue of Cornwall Today magazine  if you want to see it in its full technicolour design glory. Tom Bawcock’s Eve A merry place you may believe, Was Mouzel 'pon Tom Bawcock's Eve It's December 23 rd , very nearly Christmas, ‘Just two more sleeps, s o exciting!’ as my four year old informs me, at half past three in the morning . Later that day, in the warmth of the Ship Inn, Mousehole, glasses chink and holiday conversations flow. Outside, families stroll around the picturesque harbour, absorbing the village's famous lights as they twinkle in the gathering winter darkness. It’s a picture perfect portrait of a Cornish seaside village at Christmas. But there’s something more in the pub today, a subtle undercurrent of expectation, a buzz in the air, a reason the pub is so densely packed. Oddly, the pub bell rings out quite soon after sunset, and a hush quickly spreads through the pub’s warren of nooks an

 What to put up on your wall Here at Cornish Seascapes we believe in putting a seascape print up on any wall space that's available!  But we would say that wouldn't we, so here's a few ideas from an amazing whole building design project we helped with, which was completed last year.    There were some very specific areas that needed an image, and having chosen a certain picture, the rest of the room was designed around colours picked from the photos Straight edged Aluminium prints fit well with the architectural lines.  The image is UV printed directly onto the panel which hangs flush  with the wall, so it doesn't protrude into the room. In a holiday setting it's also great not to have to worry about glazed picture accidents Seascape bedroom prints Wood framed larger XL panel, about 2m x 2m  For stairways, lobbies or hanging walls Colour matched bedroom interior  Large aluminium print from  Ocean-Image.com Wall hanging wave print for seaside cottages  or business pr

The Big Brush-Off

So we planned a trip to try out this crazy new type of surfing - Brush Boarding. Designed to try and replicate a skate-surf-snowboard sort of feel, it's essentially a metal quarter-pipe skate ramp with holes cut into it, through which brushes rotate at high speed. You stand on a foam board and try and surf against the upthrust of the brushes. Am I making sense? Pretty much like surfing or skating, you can drop in from the top, do bottom turns and cutbacks, trim down the line, as well as kick-flips (not me) off the tops (maybe after a bit more practice) and wipeout (definitely me). The wipeouts are OK though, with loads of padding around, and instaed of being mullered by the rest of the set, as in surfing, the guy on the controls simply shuts the machine down, so you can dust yourself off, and get right back into it. Which, it turns out, is what everybody wanted to do. It was definitely fun to do, and with further developments in the pipeline, I can see this becoming a great traini
