Mazey Day has always been one of my favourite days in Penzance. In actual fact, it's more than a day, as it's part of the week-long Golowan Festival, which was traditionally a midsummer celebration in the 19th century. According to the Golowan website, it ceased in the 1890s as the fires featured (at the time… Continue reading Mazey Madness Part 1: Mazey Day

The Twits was my favourite but I also have a soft spot for Matilda and The BFG. A while back I blogged about these awesome Roald… Continue reading Roald Dahl meets John Lewis
