St Ives Cornwall - Sunny Evening

St Ives Harbour - Early Evening - 21st May 2009

---

Lovely day in St Ives - sunny and peaceful.

Above is a view of St Ives Harbour early evening. 

I've spent most of this week working on various websites, in particular today St Ives Farmers Market - more on that next week.

I've also been working on my St Ives Events Calendar - aiming to make it the most comprehensive listing for the town - so if you know of any events let me know and I'll add them.

I'll be getting back to blogging more regularly with more about whats going on in town, a review of St Ives Literature Festival and the first of a series of previews of St Ives September Festival.

Anna May Wong Must Die!

Don't miss Anna Chen's talk at St Ives Literature Festival tomorow (Friday 8th) about Hollywoood screen legend Anna May Wong.

She's prepared a lavishly illustrated multimedia presentation with music, poetry and more.

Be there - Salthouse Gallery St Ives. 7.00 start.

St Ives Literature Festival - Day 5

---

Another pleasant day in St Ives enjoying the festival and spending time with friends.

At lunchtime I went over to The Salthouse Gallery and caught Charles Shaar Murray and Buffalo Bill Smith.

Followed by the usual couple of pints at The Sloop.

We spent some time plotting gigs for St Ives September Festival.

More info here soon once confirmed.

Porthmeor Beach - Sunset

---

Tonight I did what I should do more often - but don't do often enough.

Simply chilling on Porthmeor with a glass of wine watching the sun go down.

St Ives Literature Festival

---

Have enjoyed the last couple of days events at the Lit. Fest.

Last night Charles Shaar Murray gave us a great preview of his new novel - The Hellhound Sample.

This afternoon I headed over to Poetry In The Square. As usual a few of us then went down to The Sloop at 2.00 for a quick pint. As usual we were still there a couple of hours later.

Beautiful day in St Ives.

Birmingham City - Cornwall - Blues Promoted!

---

We did it !!!

After a tense afternoon Cornwall Bluenoses celebrate big style.

Next season we'll be meeting up in in The Three Ferrets in St Ives or in Hayle (pub TBA) for every televised game.

I'm setting up a website here:

Birmingham City Supporters Club - Cornwall

Birmingham City Supporters Club - Cornwall

A few years ago I ran the official Blues supporters club in Cornwall, until pressure of work meant that I didn't have the time.

With Blues promotion to the Premiership imminent I've decided to revive it, although in a simpler form than before.

Not sure where to meet in St Ives yet. I was going to suggest The Sheaf Of Wheat - but they've just decided to show the Liverpool game on Sunday (3rd May) rather than Reading v Blues, on the basis that they'll get more Scousers in than Blues. Same issue will arise next season if there is a Liverpool / Chelsea / Man Utd / Vile game on at the same time as ours. So need to look elsewhere - let me know any suggestions.

If others want to organise meets in their own local pub elsewhere in Cornwall I'll be happy to publicise them. I'll be setting up a new website next week:

www.bluescornwall.co.uk

To keep it simple I'll not be collecting subs, arranging trips to matches or booking coaches. As above, if anybody else wants to do that I'll be happy to pass on details.

Please drop me an email, or comment here with contact details, if you want to be added to my mailing list:

Updates:

Saturday 3rd - We'll be watching the game at The Three Ferrets in Chapel Street St Ives. They have two screens and will be showing Liverpool on one and Blues on the other. See you there.
