@handybee.bsky.social My "Step Mum" wants to learn how to crochet. Are there any YouTube tutorials you can recommend? She's a complete novice.

Big mistake not playing Raya tonight.

My hairdresser just came by with a portion of Salmon en Croute and a slice of Victoria Sponge with cream & fresh strawberries. Because she saw me walking on my own this morning. Unexpected kindness is the loveliest thing. I cried. ❤️

So many accounts of Hilda Carline's life return, inevitably, to Stanley Spencer, and it becomes hard to see her clearly. This piece is an attempt to stay with her through a small group of paintings that made me look again. open.substack.com/pub/stillske...

'Logan's Rock, St Levan,' (c1916) perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall, this work is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919 all sharing an elevated viewpoint, dramatic diagonal composition and vibrant colour.

Absolutely thrilled that my monotype and drawing ‘Communion’ 1 has been selected for the Peirson and Peirson Contemporary Art prize & exhibition in Plymouth. Woot!😁 The landscape is inspired by late light through woodland. The trees are at Norsworthy Bridge at Burrator Reservoir. #Dartmoor

A weekend exploring baroque performance here in Cornwall. August 8th & 9th. Email on the poster below or reply back here if interested.

Another couple of small monotype prints that I made recently for an upcoming exhibition here in Plymouth. I’ve drawn a tree over the top of one print. I’m working on another similar but larger piece which is nearly finished. ‘Equinox’ 1 & 4 #dartmoor

More photos from yesterday just before the car park collapsed. This one shows a view of St Augustine’s church tower from Magdalen Street which has largely been blocked for centuries apart from when things are being knocked down. The last time being 1967, prior to that the mid 19th century.

I'm immensely looking forward to this. #film

This made me smile ❤️

In 1972 James Ravilious moved to rural north Devon, where he was hired by the Beaford Centre to start a visual archive documenting the landscape and the people of the area, capturing a vanishing way of life. Between 1972 and 1989 he took nearly 80,000 photographs.

Alfred Steven's dramatic 'Steamboats at Sea,' (1882) was painted off the Normandy coast at Honfleur, where he spent occasional summers. It was a work appreciated by Whistler who offered to purchase it at way beyond the price Stevens was asking for it, but was refused.

Scrummy birthday lunch with an old friend at Tremenheere Kitchen today. I'm never disappointed there!

I miss my boy so much.

On Ry Cooder's birthday I'm listening to Buena Vista Social Club, from 1997. One of the great albums of the 90s. Produced by Cooder, who also played guitar on most tracks. The great photographs are by Susan Titelman. Her masterpiece! youtube.com/watch?v=LX-S...

I'm watching the rugby (naturally) and I'm shocked at the kit choices. It must be very difficult for anyone with sight problems to distinguish which team is which #M6N #FravEng

I think this would have been a game for Merino.

Morvah Schoolhouse is such a lovely venue in a truly beautiful place. I'm definitely going to try to go and see Michèle's work.

Mark's work always seems to transcend time. #filmisnotdead

Here is acknowledgement of the instinct to avoid grief, to out run it But the poem insists on a harder truth, that grief is something you have to enter, not walk away from Grief is not a detour from love, it’s the shape love and life takes after loss ‘an obesity of grief’ #poetry #poemoftheday

Talking of Cape Cornwall, much as I love it in a storm, the last time we were there was in beautiful April sunshine. Took some film snaps on my little Olympus Trip and they all came out looking like 1970s postcards...

Cape Cornwall is probably one of my favourite places in the world... this is a lovely new piece from Kirsteen McNish on @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social which really captures the power of the Cape in winter. www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/03/lich...

I don't know if it's my hearing or my subconscious but in the rugby I kept thinking they were saying Limoncello and Cannoli, whereas in the football I keep hearing Tosser.

Carolyn is an excellent guide and @cornishbirdblog.com always has such great stories from history. This looks really good 👍

This is the alternate Rose of Nevada screen printed poster, exclusively for Q&A venues on the preview tour (which begins on 7th April). It was designed by @dionstar.bsky.social from a 35mm image taken by @iankingsnorth.bsky.social in St. Ives Bay during the shooting of the movie.
