1 We were in Falmouth for the four day Tall Ships event and had a delightful day, first in the always pleasing Falmouth Art Gallery. There was a really touching exhibition on ‘The Boy Who Bit Picasso” about the friendship between Picasso and a young boy and his family. If you get the chance, do go and see it.
2 We called in to see an exhibition of work, The Art of Happiness, by our very talented artist friend, Suzanne Crook, and I fell in love with a small painting which we bought as our Anniversary present to each other. On our way through the town we spotted one of her signature pieces, a fantastic bejewelled Unicorn. I would so love to have one of these!

3 And at last we arrived at the Tall Ships – they really are magnificent. Look closely and you will see some sailors on the main stays. It looks very precarious!

Picasso’s decription of scratchy tweed jacket, cologne and french pipe tobacco…Just loved that!
