The Nearly Home Trees

The other piece we bid for at the Truro Museum auction was this beautiful rendition of The Nearly Home Trees.  These trees grow just inside Devon and the copse stands high on the horizon. As people return home to Cornwall, the trees tell us that we are ‘nearly home.’  We have a lovely fused glass version too – and lots of photos taken from our moving car!  This piece is on terracotta and is most unusual and really lovely. It was made by Simon Hall

Harbour, Ducks and Nurdles

Once a month we have breakfast with dear friends, this time, on a beautiful morning, we were in Mylor by the harbour full of yachts.

On the drive home and on the way to Truro, we passed the duck bridge. No-one knows who put all the little plastic ducks on the bridge.

For the last few weeks there has been an online auction run by Truro Museum and Art Gallery. They have been raising money to run their Monday Museum Club. We saw the exhibition of the postcard sized art and I posted about it here.

The auction ended last Friday and we won two of the three pieces of art that we had fallen for. Here is Nurdle Seedheads by Michelle Costello of https://smartielidsonthebeach.co.uk
