Everyone has a go-to coffee place. Mine isn't Starbucks, Costa or Cafe Nero, it's The Front Room in Penzance. It's a genuinely warm and welcoming cafe, which serves brunch all day and always has a great selection of cakes. The customer service is great, with someone there to say hi when you walk through the… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: The Front Room, Penzance
When someone visits Cornwall and tells you that they went to an open air theatre, chances are they're talking about the Minack. But did you know that there's also a theatre in Penzance, tucked away where people can easily miss it? In fact, given the location, more intimate feel and lack of vertigo as part… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Penlee Park Open Air Theatre
I've been working on this post for the last three weeks, so you'd think there's plenty of posts to share!

Today I'm launching a new monthly feature called There's No Place Like Home. So many of my favourite magazines highlight international cities but I want to focus on what we love about our own home towns. How many of us can realistically afford to jet off to far off lands on a whim? It's time… Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home: West Cornwall
When the weather is so beautiful there's no excuse to stay in - especially living in Cornwall. Even if money is tight, there are plenty of photogenic places to take a walk around. Recently I went back to Tehidy Woods for the first time since school camp! The houses next door were kinda incredible. I… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Woodland walks
Yesterday I shared the delights of the most festive day in Penzance but for those who can't stand having to wait around for half an hour to cross the road during a parade, Quay Day is where it's at. It basically opens up the bottom end of town for the day, right the way along… Continue reading Mazey Madness Part 2: Quay Day and dinner at The Godolphin Arms
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
