Jazzjet Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 You'll be very welcome down here, Bev. I think I recognise that boathouse shot as Trevarno ( ? ). Trevarno indeed - the normal publicity shot, but I couldn't resist! I thought of you as I whizzed up to Wheal Coates one night to catch the sunset, passing signs to Mount Hawke (was staying at the campsite the otherside of Tehidy Park. One of my favourite cafes in the world lies just a mile or so away at Hell's Mouth. The breakfasts are amazing!) ********************* Was staying up near Rock a few days later (before Cameron got there and started misusing village names) - unfamiliar territory for me. Stumbled on this while walking the headland: Didn't know that. Neither did I, but there's a lot I don't know about Cornwall. There's a good cafe/restaurant at Porthtowan called The Blue Bar which also does great breakfasts ( and other meals ). Quote

There's a good cafe/restaurant at Porthtowan called The Blue Bar which also does great breakfasts ( and other meals ). I'll remember that - I've been in the pub there. My cousin and his wife live in Porthtowan, immediately as you drive in after leaving the coast road. Another favourite of mine is the National Trust tea shop at Carnewas by Bedruthan Steps. Gets busy but makes for a lovely 10.00 coffee followed by a decent onto that marvellous beach. Don't know if you have followed Robert Fripp down the years but this might be of interest: Travis & Fripp will be making their final UK appearances for 2010 in two beautiful churches in Cornwall in October. It is also their first appearance in the South West of England. The performances are as follows- Friday, 29th Oct (7.30pm) Falmouth, Cornwall. - All Saints Church, Killigrew St (01736 334 682) Saturday, 30th Oct (7.30pm) Newlyn, Near Penzance, Cornwall . - St Peter's Church (01736 334 682) http://www.dgmlive.com/news.htm?entry=3113 Edited September 5, 2010 by A Lark Ascending Quote

I assume this is the same sort of thing? Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 BRIAN AUGER & OBLIVION EXPRESS.......EARLIER TODAY............. ONE OF THE MOST HIGH ENERGY SHOWS IVE SEEN A WHILE, THEY COVERED FREEDOM JAZZ DANCE AND ALSO COMPARED TO WHAT, AND THEY COVERED THEM IN A VERY UNIQUE WAY, IT WAS VERY GOOD.

I ASKED NICK AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHY IS STIX NOT IN THE JAZZCRUSADERS REUNION, HE SAID: STIX JUST PRODUCES NOW, HE DOESNT PLAY ANYMORE Quote
Christiern Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Posted September 6, 2010 Can something be very unique? Quote
BillF Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 Can something be very unique? I'd make the exception for Chewy. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks for the info on Fripp. I've got his 2006 Churchscapes album. I assume this is the same sort of thing? Yes, very similar. Do you know Travis at all? A good jazzer but with a love of late/60s and early 70/s rock. His band with Mike Outram on guitar is well worth catching - I seem to recall they played the St Ives club at one point. He guests sometime with Gong (still going, it seems) and Porcupine Tree. Quote

Travis is another of those names I know but whose music I haven't heard. I'm definitely going to check this Fripp gig out. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Nice sunsets! I'm also addicted to them. And the nice thing about digital photography is that you can just keep snapping in the knowledge that the ones that don't work, get blurred etc can just be deleted at no extra cost. I especially like the cloud patterns you get in the sky at the time - you've caught that nicely. Edited September 13, 2010 by A Lark Ascending Quote

alocispepraluger102 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 this year's edition of bell's special double cream stout is heavenly; surely there is no finer beer in heaven. the bell's expedition this year is just horrible, for expedition stout. it has no body, and is really really bitter. the fabulous balance is just a mess. i wonder if this is just a bad bell's batch. they have more than their shares of bad bottlings of fine beers.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 This guy flew into the back patio door and rattled his marbles. Stood still on the flagstones for almost 10 minutes before the fog lifted. Lucky for him that I was out there rather than the neighbor's cat. Quote
