Cornwall, Day 7 (part one)- Falmouth! A great town for wandering and shopping. On a whim we learned that a favorite artist had an art gallery in Falmouth, so we trucked down to the sea to see the Sailor’s Jail Gallery, and the works of one Tabby Booth. (The owl painting, here shows her emblematic line-work and use of antique frames.) We ate scallops, fried cuttlefish and a Cornish apple lollie (popsicle) on the oceans’s edge and then stopped in at a witch museum which had lovely little quips on every piece. I especially liked the spell-work noted in the act of knitting. After Falmouth we visit the Lanyon Quoit- a neolitic dolmen (tomb). Probably built around 2500 BC. It actually fell over in 1815, so the locals put it back up, and it turns out, according to paintings found, they put it back up incorrectly! But no use in fixing it now, I guess. I added a painting of my own to the historical queue, and personally felt just fine about the stone placement. 😅
