Spent a year or two before settling on a name for our 3 acre slice of Cornish paradise, part ancient woodland, part open-field / glade. I wanted something #Cornish & unique so came up with Trevargos which means "Home of the Buzzard" or there-abouts in the Cornish language. The land often has Buzzards soaring above and calling out, they have a spiritual significance for me too 💚 #birds #cornwall #wildlife

A sign with the word Trevargos which contains illustrations of a Buzzard and a Bee

Spouse popped into A Darn Good Yarn to pick up yarn I need to finish a project, and they gave him one of their Trevithick Day freebies - cute stitch markers, a "handmade with love" label, and a yarn needle.

They're the sweetest, friendliest local yarn store folk we've met down this way and we love supporting them.

I'm hoping I'll get to have a peek at their rainbow wall while I'm here, which has 116 shades of one of their DK yarns!

If you're in Camborne tomorrow for Trevithick Day, there's going to be a Fair Trade pop-up shop at my sister's bagmaking studio - The Make Space on Cross Street.

One of this year's Fair Trade themes is tea - hence the bunting!

Cross Street is usually a great place for watching the parades too as it's less busy than Trelowarren Street.

A shop window decorated with hunting made out of tea bags, Fair Trade products, and posters. Text reads "Fair Trade pop up shop here Saturday"

St Clether Well & Chapel, Cornwall

Built in C15 and restored by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1897. Water from the well runs in a channel through the chapel under the altar and exits on the opposite side.

'In this remote setting... chapel and well-house evoke perhaps more powerfully than anywhere in Cornwall a sense of the medieval religious landscape' (Beacham & Pevsner)

A side view of the well-house with narrow slated roof and low walls to the front. On the right is the north wall of the chapel with an arched window. The area around both are luxuriant with greenery.
A view of the west side of the chapel with the entrance doorway and a mullioned window above. The south side is plain, apart from a small opening at ground level at the far end for the water from the well to exit the chapel.

Penzance vintage bus day is quite the event. Really busy with people. Had no idea they ran so many buses, on so many routes, for free.

Gorgeous weather to ride around the scenic west of #Cornwall

An old red half cab single deck bus. The side has “Wilts and Dorset” painted on it.
An old white and green coach leaving Penzance bus station.
A red and white double deck bus.

Nut is supported by Shu the god of air, and the ram-headed Heh deities, while Geb reclines beneath. Book of the Dead of Nesitanebtashru. British Museum.

The Merry Maidens stone circle the day after visiting the 'Between Worlds' Ithell Colquhoun exhibition at Tate St Ives. A breast-like formation of clouds appears suspended over the circle

Illustration showing a giant female figure - the Egyptian sky goddess, Nut - poised on tiptoe and her fingertips, arched over four figures. Three of the figures encompassed by her arched body are standing, the fourth reclines on the ground. The central standing figure has his arms upraised to the sky/Nut's body, each of his hands with open palms gesturing to the pubic region of Nut on one side, and her pendulous breasts on the other. He is flanked by two horned, ram-headed figures with their arms extended towards him, as if to support his upraised arms.
Framed by two outlying, earthfast boulders, in the distance can be seen the grey stones of the Merry Maidens stone circle, standing out in a grassy, green pasture under a grey, cloudy sky. An undulant, breast-like pattern of grey cloud hovers over the circle
