A stroll to Maenporth

Today was a beautiful day in Falmouth. Clear blue skies, sunshine, light breeze. Perfect. I had already planned to go to Swanpool for ice cream with Jo but we ended up going a further two miles to Maenporth as well. We walked pretty slow and stopped a lot, not to mention taking detours, so by the time we got there it was 5pm. We still had our ice creams and then got the bus back – a pleasant scenic journey.

Swanpool.
All the amazing ice cream flavours and their characters.
Coffee crunch, bottom right, has a Mexican Snufkin!
No entry. Why is it vertical? I don't know, but I like it.
And an out sign...
Leaving Swanpool.
Out to sea.
Maenporth.
And a lazy bus journey home.


Also, I'm amazed the sun is still out at 7.30. Maybe it would be in Milton Keynes too but I never really noticed. Haha.

Right but wrong


Just a quick blog, as I've had a long day in London with my dad. The main reason for going was to see the Right but Wrong exhibition at Idea Generation, showing a vast selection of Storm Thorgerson's work. We managed to pack a lot else in too, including two other galleries, walk along the canal and through Regents park and a vinyl toy shop.

The exhibition was brilliant. And my dad enjoyed it too as he owns most of the classic albums Thorgerson designed - particularly Pink Floyd. Funny how the same man (or his design studio) is behind the artwork of my favourite band, Muse, and my dad's, Pink Floyd.


There was a particular poster/print which I hadn't seen before which I really liked. I would rather like it for my wall. (I have now discovered that it comes with the 30th anniversary vinyl of Dark Side of the Moon.)

This is the only image I can find of it!
£350 and it can be mine...

Here's some info about the exhibition: Idea Generation

Fringe 80s opening titles

I've just watched the much anticipated (at least for me) latest episode of Fringe, after it's been away for a month of so.

The episode is mostly all set in 1985 and so they re-did the title sequence to match. Which I thought was brilliant. Here's the normal title sequence, and now for the new one:
