Biscuits

I haven't had these biscuits for years. I want some. Were/are they actually called 'pink panther' biscuits? Or is that just me?

Norway day

Today is Norway day. Happy Norway Day! Here's an elk/moose.

Gnomes and Gnewquay

Today I took a trip to Gnome World, Indian Queens (near Newquay) with Ning and Jo. Unfortunately, as I suspected there wasn't much at gnome world. Although, what I didn't expect is that the shop wouldn't be open, haha. So didn't buy any gnomes, but I did see a few.

Giant gnome guards the entrance.

Spot the gnomes in this photo...

 A contradictory sign. Gardens this way, but no entry,

Gnome world is pretty near Newquay, and also happens to be where Ning is from. Thus we had no trouble getting there afterwards. Which is where most of the afternoon was spent with iced coffee, chips and sitting by the harbour for a few hours. Not all of that happened at once, I should point out.

Nice little reference to Hokusai's Great Wave.

I didn't take very good photos because I was so close to the building but this very modern
block of flats - with Pizza Express underneath, made me feel like I was in London.

Very unusual for Cornwall. Rocklands.

I love these sort of Cornish fishing boats.

So a good day all 'round really. I've been having good Saturdays out lately. Will try to keep it up!

Sometimes I wish I was an illustrator

But then I remember that I can't draw that well. Meanwhile, here's the winner of a competition set by the London Transport museum. Illustrations of London are always nice to see.

"The London Transport Museum's Serco Prize for Illustration was won by Anne Wilson with Winding through the City. Illustrators were asked to create an image featuring the River Thames." creative review

Also, the person who won third place is a student at UCF.
Go Falmouth!

Punk ’n’ roll

I've literally only just realised how much I like modern American punk music. Here's a new track by the Menzingers, recorded in one take apparently!

Beautiful maps

I went to Redruth today to visit Jo, and found lots of amazing old books in a shop there. I was dithering over whether to buy this book as £8 seemed like a lot of money to me, but I decided it was worth it.

In the days before Milton Keynes... well, actually it's on there but it is Milton Keynes Village.

Coworth Park

As the author of this post states, over on design.work.life, there is a lot more to this brand than this one image. But tree + type is just beautiful.

Okay then, I'll throw in a few more images...

Wood grain

Does this look like wood grain?

Because that's what it is meant to be...
