s I write, we are basking in the first heatwave of the year. With deep blue skies meeting turquoise waters and white-sand beaches glistening from the heat of the sun, Cornwall rivals the world’s most prestigious holiday destinations. There is still much uncertainty surrounding flights this summer so, why not come and join us in the Duchy and take the stress out of your summer break? Cornwall has a vast array of luxury accommodation to suit everyone; choose from romantic pied a terres for two, coastal cottages for family fun, marvellous manors for groups of extended family and friends or boutique hotels by the sea – discover your next Cornish escape from page 23. If you’re here during August, we highly recommend you check out one of the south west’s most exciting events, Falmouth Week 2022. This incredible maritime extravaganza hosts a week of incredible racing on the world-class sailing waters in and around the Carrick Roads as well as a full programme of shoreside events between 5th and 14th August. Turn to page 10, where Dan Warden looks ahead to the action, including a visit from the Red Arrows! Cornwall has long-since played host to a rich and diverse art scene, from the founding of the Newlyn School in the early 1880s and the coming together of the St Ives School artists in the early 20th century, to the opening of Tate St Ives in 1993. Today, the county boasts a plethora of prestigious galleries where the work of Cornwall's talented creatives can be viewed in exquisite spaces. From page 34, we showcase just a few of said artists and makers who are leading lights amongst the county's creative community. When it comes to creativity, the Duchy knows no bounds, an example of which is the stunning jewellery that can be found at Ethica Diamonds on page 50. With sustainability at the fore, Ethica offers beautifully bespoke pieces created from more affordable stones than traditionally mined diamonds; the Ethica Diamond (a diamond infused moissanite) and lab-grown diamonds which are identical in every way to natural diamonds. Our award-winning property partners, Rohrs and Rowe join us again this issue with homes of distinction that are currently on the market. From page 16, and again from page 36, these properties showcase the pinnacle of Cornish real estate. We’re also very excited to be unveiling our new look in this issue. In the same way fashion changes, so do fonts. Over the coming pages, you’ll see some subtle typographic and style changes making Cornwall Living even easier on the eye. We hope you love them as much as we do… …happy reading!

The Bay Hotel: at the heart of it all

Around Cornwall in 38 churns A remarkable and unusual art project has been launched to raise funds for Cornish healthcare charity Cornwall Hospice Care. ‘Around Cornwall in 38 Churns’ has been devised by Sue Dennett of Newquay who also wanted to showcase the county’s talented artists and stunning locations. The project is being supported by Rodda’s Creamery, Visit Cornwall and David Lay Auctions and will culminate in an auction of the churns. Artists from across Cornwall have been given a churn, kindly donated by Rodda’s Creamery, and have offered their talent and time to decorate each one in their own particular style. They include famous names such as Kurt Jackson, Michael Praed, Dick Twinney and Lorna Wiles. Each will be featured at venues around Cornwall through the summer and people will be encouraged to follow a trail. Nick Rodda is the Managing Director of Rodda’s Creamery: “Churns are not only iconic

but a beautiful shape and I think they lend themselves to this charity project. This is a brilliant idea and showcases our heritage while also giving a nod to the current day talents of our local artists. Rodda’s is part of the tapestry of Cornwall and we’ve always worked with local charities.”

The Bay lies at the centre of Coverack, enjoying unspoilt views across the sea and to the horizon beyond. Guests and visitors can enjoy watching beach life from the hotel’s garden terrace, or as they kick back and relax on the rolling green lawns, all just a stone’s throw from the sand. Morning teas and coffees, barmenu lunches, homemade cream teas and delicious drinks are served throughout the day, and you may even be lucky enough to enjoy one of the hotel’s events, which offer a deeper dive into local life. Get involved and enjoy the entertainment, or simply sit back and keep yourself to yourself.

“The auction will be on Wednesday 21st September at Truro Cathedral and given the comments we’ve already received I think the bidding is going to be feverish,” says organiser Sue Dennett (the Chair of the charity’s Newquay Fundraising Group), who’s supported the charity for the last 38 years.

Popular with walkers, swimmers, paddleboarders, windsurfers, sailors and scuba divers – not to mention sandcastle builders – Coverack is a fabulous destination to which to escape, and the Bay Hotel provides the perfect base from which to enjoy it.

Art on the menu

For all those gastronauts

Wheal Martyn Clay Works’ fascinating new exhibition, Art on the Menu, tells the story of the shifting market for ceramics in 1930s Britain. In 1934, an unusual experiment took place at Harrods in London. Twentyseven artists were challenged to raise the standard of design by working with leading ceramic factories to produce affordable tableware for everyday use. Participating artists included Laura Knight, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson and the diverse and striking ceramics they designed were exhibited in the store. The Art on the Menu exhibition charts the story behind the Harrods exhibition and features tableware painted by artists

Stunning views of the coast, an onsite butchery, a café and deli, a shop crammed with even more local goodies, fresh produce, and a range of gift ideas – Boscastle Farm Shop has all these things in one fabulous bundle, perched on the cliffs above the historic harbour of Boscastle.

The Mainbrace Rum Race

Having said that, let’s not wish the wind away altogether. After all, what would Falmouth Week be without the thrills and spills of the annual Falmouth Sailing Week regatta? The event is an open one, which means that whether you’re a relative novice to the racing scene, or have a highperformance IRC rated yacht, there will be a class for everyone. Divided into two fleets – the Bay Fleet and the Carrick Fleet – there will be seven classes to enter within the Bay, and nine in the Carrick. There will also be five class options for dinghy sailors this year, with a final allocation of classes due to be announced on 5th August. Indeed, fingers across Falmouth town are currently crossed for similar conditions to last year, which saw a total of 150 boats entering Falmouth Sailing Week. Good sailing breezes allowed for some great racing in both Falmouth Bay and the Carrick Roads, on all seven days. “We were delighted to be able to run a near-normal Falmouth Sailing Week after the restrictions of the previous year,” says Nigel Sharp, Chairman of the Port of Falmouth Sailing Association, “and we were particularly lucky with the weather.” This year, the format of the regatta begins with a Skippers’ Briefing and Competitors’ Reception at the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, on the eve of the first day of racing. The following morning will see the first day’s racing hosted by the Helford River Sailing Club, on Sunday 7th August, followed by Mylor Yacht Club on Monday 8th and Restronguet Sailing Club on Tuesday 9th. Wednesday 10th provides competitors

almouth Week 2022 is among a host of other similar events both here and around the wider UK, that are helping to bring the colours and sounds of culture back into our lives. In fact, even as I type (perhaps harder than I intend to, given my own lack of a ticket), Glastonbury Festival is just getting underway… What’s really grabbed my interest, however, are the events set to unfold this summer in Falmouth from 5th to 14th August. Why? It may sound like a cliché, but this year’s event is determined to return bigger and better than ever, and the dedicated organisers behind both the shoreside and on-the-water events are excited to once again welcome thousands of locals and visitors as they ﬂock to the town to enjoy ten joyous days of land-lubbing and sailing. As always, a wide-ranging programme of family friendly events will give visitors plenty to think about when planning their visit, with live music in the Falmouth Week marquee on Church Street Car Park and fun activities on The Moor. We are also excited to learn that the Red Arrows will be taking to the skies in their usual spectacular style, wowing crowds with their impressive and gravity-defying aerial display. We just need to keep our ﬁngers crossed for good weather!

with a standalone, long-distance race; for the Bay Fleet, the Ancasta Champagne Race is by now well-established and immensely popular, while the Carrick Fleet, for the second year running, will battle for places in the Mainbrace Rum Race. With the standalone events complete, Thursday through to Sunday will be filled with the highs and lows, in several classes, of the final, three-day series. Hosting for these will be provided by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, St Mawes Sailing Club, and finally, Flushing Sailing Club, where regatta teas and the prizegiving will take place. With so much going on, it’s perhaps unsurprising that events like Falmouth Week could not go ahead without the support of local businesses. This year, Hine Downing Solicitors sponsor the Falmouth Working Boat series; Mylor Yacht Harbour sponsor the Sunbeam series and, new for 2022, is Falmouth Black Rock Cornish Gin, who will be sponsoring and donating prizes to the Shrimper 19 class three-day series. Also on board this year are Mylor Rigging, who will be providing a rigging support RIB and advice to aid the crews. As Jane Wright, Spokesperson for the Port of Falmouth Sailing Association, explains: “Without the support of local businesses, regattas like this would be impossible to organise. We are indebted and thankful for their involvement – it's a wonderful way for the community to work together.” As always, the sailing is set to generate a buzz of excitement around the town as visitors gather to watch the races unfold – especially those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land. But, as we’ve already touched upon, spectator sport is by no means all the shoreside has to offer at this year’s Falmouth Week! Kicking things off on Friday 5th August, is the Pink Wig Event. Back after a three-year hiatus, with the addition of a pre-

parade party at The Greenbank Hotel, the popular Pink Wig parade is always a sight to behold, culminating in a Pink Wig Roman Party in the Falmouth Week marquee on Church Street car park. Moving into Saturday, and you’ll want to secure a suitable spot between Falmouth Rugby Club and the Falmouth Week marquee. That is, if you want a good view of the Falmouth Carnival Parade! Headed up by the Falmouth Marine Band, this parade promises a dramatic riot of colour and sound. Later in the evening, the Carnival Night will bring revellers a night of musical entertainment from Falmouth Soul Sensation. Free to attend, doors open at 7pm – just be sure to wear your dancing shoes. Other highlights of the week include a performance by The Wurzels on Sunday 7th August, then by Reef on Monday 8th, who are set once again to take the stage and delight the adoring crowds that Falmouth Week always draws. Tuesday sees the introduction of a new event, the Love Train Gospel Music Night, during which Ley Adewole and the Falmouth Community Gospel Choir will be taking to the stage for their Falmouth Week debut. Wednesday is packed with highlights, including the RNLI Fun Day, offering the whole family the chance to meet those behind some of the best-loved local charities, including Sea Sanctuary, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, the RNLI and more.

Later on, one of the UK’s most beloved Funk and Soul DJs, Craig Charles, will be performing, and I think it’s fair to say that we’re all crossing our fingers for fair conditions for the hotly anticipated Red Arrows display. With plenty more happenings taking place around the town, including a Comic and Movie Fest on Saturday 13th hosted by the True Butterflies Foundation, performances from Bad Manners (Thursday 11th) and local cover bands The Bohemians and Fleetwood Bac (Friday 12th), it seems the organisers behind Falmouth Week 2022 are determined to make any day you spend in Falmouth between 5th and 14th August one that you’ll remember. “The Falmouth town team has a long history of bringing unique and fun events to the town, and this year’s Falmouth Week is no exception,” says Richard Gates, Falmouth Town Manager. “The last two years have been a struggle for everyone, so we’re delighted that our live events are back with a bang! “Alongside our event partners at the Port of Falmouth Sailing Association and South West Bars and Events, we’ve worked hard to pull together a packed and varied programme both on the water and on shore. There really is something for everyone; from live music to fun, family friendly activities, not to mention the Red Arrows!” In short, says Richard, “we’re convinced you’ll have a wonderful week”, so if you’re yet to set in stone your summer plans, be sure to block out some time between 5th and 14th August and make your way to Falmouth Week. Whether your passions lie in the weighing of anchors, or in keeping your feet planted on terra firma, this is not an event to be missed. Visit falmouthweek.co.uk to find out more.

et in the rolling countryside between Truro, Tresillian and Probus, Trehane Gardens’ location provides both secluded, tucked-away privacy, and proximity to the county-leading high street and scholastic facilities of Cornwall’s cathedral city. It’s also within easy reach of the Roseland, the peninsula famed for its exceptional beaches and vibrant sailing scene. Approached via a long driveway, which passes the intriguing new construction of a lodge (itself providing great potential for friends to stay, or as a holiday let), as you arrive at the main house, you’re immediately wowed by the incredible condition of this Grade II listed home. Heading inside, the interiors, while understated, are nevertheless luxurious, with an astounding kitchen with impressive central island, opening into a dining area, where a glazed roof floods the space with light. The generous sitting room features a broad fireplace for wintry evenings, and at the oppositve end of the house, a beautiful drawing room provides views over the gardens and also features an attractive fireplace.

There are a total of five bedrooms (plus two more in the aforementioned lodge), including an impressive master, all serviced by two lovely bathrooms. The sheer quality of the interiors and fittings is incredible, bringing the entire ensemble together to provide exceptional, comfortable accommodation. Outside, mature specimen plants and shrubs can be found across the 3.5 acres of gardens and grounds, as can a three-bay garage, and a summerhouse that would be perfect as a studio or area for teenagers. There is also a further outbuilding that’s currently used as an office. What’s perhaps most idyllic, however, is the overall hilltop setting, providing distant views to Probus and its church, surrounded by quiet, arable farmland, and sheltered by its own woodlands to the west.

estled in the beautiful Cornish countryside near Bissoe, The Old Mill finds itself in a great position to make the most of close proximity to Cornwall’s cathedral city, as well as the harbour town of Falmouth and the rugged north coast of St Agnes. Grade II listed, the main house has bags of charm, with original character evident the moment you step across the threshold. The spacious kitchen is set out in a galley style, opening onto the courtyard and therefore making a fantastic entertainment space. Steps from the kitchen lead up to the former workings of the mill, making for a highly unusual dining area with a distinct wow-factor. With a total of five bedrooms in the main house, including a spacious master, the property is home to two additional two-bedroom cottages, with planning permission for a third. The grounds are home to a large pond, which exudes vibes of Heligan and Trebah but within the realms of your own private garden, while a working leat speaks once again of the property’s working heritage. With plenty of spots in which to relax away from the madding crowd, plus a style of architecture and remnants of industry that remind you of a seemingly simpler time, not to mention the potential for holiday letting, The Old Mill is the kind of opportunity that’s becoming increasingly hard to find on Cornwall’s property market.

LIFESTYLE CAMEL ESTUARY

f o l e l r u TheTHE a ESTUARY In conversation with Rohrs and Rowe, we ask what it is about the Camel Estuary that continues to draw buyers in search of their dream home. é ABOVE It's easy to see the appeal

ê BELOW Great Engollan Farmhouse

inding its way gently inland, the Camel Estuary is a walkers’ paradise, a wildlife haven, a must-visit for cyclists, and home to some of the most esteemed chefs and restaurateurs in Cornwall. No wonder then, that the area has become a beacon of promise to those seeking a tonic to an increasingly busy and stressful lifestyle, providing a sense of ocean-aired freedom that so many of us have found ourselves craving in the wake of events over the past two years. Especially in light of the pandemic that’s still very much

fresh in our minds, more homeowners than ever have found themselves looking to their own four walls, examining their lifestyles and re-assessing what’s important. Perhaps nobody is more familiar with this trend than Martyn Rohrs and Matthew Rowe, founders of award-winning Cornish estate agents, Rohrs & Rowe, who sell some of the Camel Estuary area’s most exceptional and soughtafter property. Before we get into those however, let’s dive a little deeper into what makes this stretch of Cornwall so alluring. If days spent under the power of sail are your idea of zen, then the Camel Estuary is home to some of the finest sailing waters in the UK, particularly in Rock. Championing the philosophy and traditions of good seamanship, keen racing and a happy family atmosphere, Rock Sailing Club welcomes new members with open arms, providing the perfect environment to spend time with likeminded seagoers, a place to make life-long friends and share in the joy of time spent on the water. Perhaps, instead, you wish to take a guided tour of the waterways, sitting back as you watch the coastline ebb past? If so, there are a number of tour agencies providing trips designed to show you the very best of what the sheltered waters here have to offer,

ê BELOW The stunning terrace of Trevoseen

including wildlife spotting and even fishing, perfect for catching your supper before heading home and firing up the grill. Alternatively, if you prefer solid ground beneath your feet, then the Camel Estuary provides some of the finest cycling you’ll find in Cornwall, namely the Camel Trail, which offers cyclists of all ages and abilities the chance to take an easy ride. There are plenty of places to enjoy lunch, too, all with incredible views and spots from which to watch the local wildlife. Of course, for some, nothing beats a bucket and spade day on the beach, in which case, one of the famed ‘Seven Bays’, centred around the small village of St Merryn, will provide you with all the sun, sand and sea you could ask for. Whichever way in which you choose to spend your days, the Cornish sea air is sure to sharpen your appetite, and where better to be than in the culinary capital of Cornwall, Padstow? Renowned for the collection of celebrity owned restaurants, including those of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth, with Nathan Outlaw’s offering available further along the coast, there’s reason that foodies flock to Padstow every year! Drawing on the region’s abundance of fresh, seasonal produce, daily caught seafood and locally reared meats, the changing menus of the restaurants around the estuary are an allure in themselves. But it isn’t just the landscape, coastline and lifestyle that draw buyers to the Camel Estuary. The stamp of property here is

exceptional, as is evident in the list of available, coming soon and recently sold homes on the books of Rohrs and Rowe. Take Trevoseen, for example; a five/sixbedroom coastal home with outstanding sea views across the entirety of Trevone Bay (one of the aforementioned Seven Bays). Striking and exceptionally spacious, the house has been designed to maximise the stunning, uninterrupted sea views. Set out over three floors, the accommodation and living spaces provide ample room to spread out, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening out onto the terrace and providing the ocean views beyond. With beautifully set-out gardens, a broad sun terrace and an excellent, recently built summer house at the bottom of the garden that’s perfect for entertaining, Trevoseen is a prime example of the quality buyers have come to expect from property in the Padstow area. Another contrasting yet excellent example, is Great Engollan Farm. This handsome, detached coastal farmhouse boasts five bedrooms in the main residence. Add to this a one-bedroom integral annexe called The Loft, as well as an additional one-bedroom separate cottage within the grounds called The Nook, and the flexible accommodation at Great Engollan lends itself to visitors, dependent family members, or even the potential for additional income via holiday lettings. With parking for numerous cars, a detached double garage, and being less than two miles from the nearest beach, Porthcothan Bay, Great Engollan provides the space and lifestyle that two years of lockdowns have left so many searching for. Rohrs & Rowe have numerous other properties either on, or coming to, the market in the Camel Estuary area over the course of the summer, so be sure to get in contact and register your details to find out more.

Rosevarlock, Polzeath

ake up to the gentle sound of Polzeath’s breakers; pad your way up the steps, coffee in hand, to your very own rooftop oasis and start the day surveying your coastal kingdom. With this unique vantage point, you can check out the surf conditions, before heading barefoot, board under one arm, for some quality time amongst the waves. Alternatively, spend the day luxuriating away from the madding crowd. Light the Big Green Egg barbeque, which takes centre stage in the outdoor kitchen, and sit together at the long statement dining table, bordered by tropical succulents that add tropical vibes to your afternoon of sunny relaxation. Sleeping up to ten across five bedrooms, all with their own en-suite facilities, the accommodation of Rosevarlock is split over four floors with interiors that exude beachside luxury at every turn. Even when the weather turns and forces you inside from the roof terrace, you can gather together and enjoy a movie marathon in your own home cinema. There’s also an incredibly well-equipped kitchen for cooking up a Cornish culinary storm, with appliances including two ovens, a Quooker hot tap, Nespresso coffee machine and even a wine fridge, to name just a few. Add to all of this a Sonos sound system with two iPads, Sky TV in the living room, and even office facilities for those who need to bring their work with them, this stunning stay from Latitude50 is paradise for large groups seeking a base for a shared Cornish adventure. What's more, dogs are allowed too!

STAY Hill House, Polruan

ocated in the heart of the conservation area of Polruan – an ancient fishing village clinging to the hillside opposite Fowey. Hill House is located on a footpath, which leads down to the village centre and up to the village car park, which is handy if you have extra vehicles. This imposing house was apparently built for a master mariner in the mid-nineteenth century who liked to watch the ships entering and leaving the harbour, and this is likely to be something that guests will appreciate, too. Completely refurbished and lovingly restored, combining period features with modern comforts, it is unusual in offering everything on a Cornish cottage wishlist – river views from almost every room, a large, landscaped garden with patio and deck (also with delightful river views) and a parking space. The grand entrance hall features a beautiful, curved staircase and arched window – all period features of a bygone age. The open-plan, light and airy family kitchen with solid oak units and a sociable dining area allow you to spill out through French doors to the paved terrace and extensive, beautifully planted garden beyond where evenings will be spent on the deck watching the maritime activity and twinkling lights on the harbour as the sun goes down.

Hayloft Cottage, Looe

real favourite for family groups for a special celebration or staycation, this contemporary bolthole sleeps five across three perfectly appointed bedrooms. The spacious open-plan living and dining area is a real show-stopper as you enter Hayloft, along with the exterior patio and garden. Enjoy a barbeque on those warm Cornish summer evenings and take a dip in the private hot tub under the stars. It’s the perfect way to finish a relaxing day at Kilminorth, where your worries simply melt away. That’s what this gorgeous and secluded destination is all about. It’s true escapism from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And despite being hidden away from it all, there’s so much to do! You’d be forgiven for never even leaving the grounds – after all, there’s an on-site bar, a seasonal swimming pool, wildflower meadows and walks, tennis courts, the list goes on. If you do fancy a jaunt a little further afield, there’s a lot waiting for you. Quintessential Cornish villages, scrumptious local cuisine and so much history and heritage. The Kilminorth team are always happy to give personalised recommendations on arrival, so you can really make the most of your getaway to this beautiful county.

Its 12 traditional cottages, barns and shepherd’s hut, together with its stunning gardens, are located in an enchanting, secluded, private hamlet. Dating back over 400 years, Tremaine has its very own village green, stream and duck pond and is also home to some miniature horses, pygmy goats, chickens and guinea pigs – a truly unique and private world. The holiday cottages are well equipped and include everything you could want during your stay.

STAY

t i g n i p e e K LOCAL Just a few hundred yards from Lizard Point lies this delightful 200-year-old inn.

un by husband-and-wife team Andy and Margaret Sutherland, you’ll find home-from-home accommodation at The Top House Inn, coupled with a high level of personal service that is often aspired to but not often achieved by other hostelries. The Top House is one of a small group of chosen pubs that is a Cask Club member of St Austell brewery, so there is a superior selection of local ales, cider and lager, as well as some special Cornish gins and whiskeys along with a carefully selected wine list. This is complemented by a superb à la carte menu as well as the traditional favourites – the full English breakfast, Sunday roasts and summer barbeques all of which use locally sourced produce where possible, with an emphasis on freshly caught fish and seafood daily; all prepared by Head Chef Alex. A brand-new feature not to be missed is the Sutherland’s Vintage Tea Room. Recalling an era when tea was regarded as an important ritual to be enjoyed at leisure, the tea room features genuine vintage crockery from which to eat your home-baked cakes, Cornish cream tea or ice cream from the Gwella Dairy – a visit to which is to be recommended. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Lizard peninsula the area is the ultimate outdoor playground. With direct access to the South West Coast Path just yards from the inn and footpaths that meander across the downs

in every direction, this area is a walker’s paradise. If you don’t want to set out alone, then a local guide can be arranged to steer you in the right direction, sharing stories and secret spots, as well as teaching you how to forage from the clifftops. Off-shore there are sea adventures to be had with the world famous Kynance Cove a short (hired) cycle ride away. However, if you set your sights lower, then Lizard village has some unique shops selling crafted items made from local serpentine. Finally, the Top House Inn regularly has live music and entertainment; from a saxophonist playing at Sunday lunch to Cornish folk and Celtic music evenings with popular local artists playing guitar, singing and dancing. Every Wednesday all local musicians and singers, along with visiting players, are invited to get together and enjoy an evening of jamming. Landlord Andy treats every player or singer to a drink on the house and as an ex DJ to boot, he hosts his unique disco parties, which always go down well.

FOODIE

Delivering the

IMPOSSIBLE Treguddick – where great taste is at the heart of their food and drink.

picurean adventures for pleasure seekers, Treguddick is all about experiences that bring taste, quality and innovation to the table with Cornish food and drink. The team are serious about making the very best super smooth spirits and liqueurs, coupled with menus that are designed with a passion for the south west's best ingredients. It’s about offering something different – dining with innovative dishes that are infused with their own award-winning spirits. Opened in October last year, Treguddick is located just outside Launceston. What was until 2019 a muddy old barn, has since been transformed into a beautiful and versatile venue, ideal for days out and memorable experiences encompassing distillery tours and tastings. Add to these a bar and restaurant where you can indulge in a unique drinking and dining experience followed by a walk around the lake. Treguddick is led by Dr John Walters, founder and Master Distiller of English Spirit, whose passion for all things glass and plate are brought together here, with spirits and food combining to titillate the palate to extraordinary heights. John’s Doctorate in Biochemistry sparked a career that has ranged from pharmaceutical development

 Executive Chef, Tom Elson-Knight

to alcoholic beverage consultancy. In due course he combined this knowledge and turned his hand to distilling, and from his first still run over a decade ago, he spotted – and began to fill – a gap in the market for genuinely high-quality spirits, bringing the methodology of distilling firmly into the 21st century. John works alongside Head Chef, Tom Elson Knight, a MasterChef finalist in 2019. He has already begun designing unique concepts and marvellous dishes, combining their high-quality spirits with the best ingredients available in the south west. Based on the ethos that life is for living and should be enjoyed, and that great taste should be at the heart of all good food and drink, John, Tom and the team share the belief that ‘good’ isn’t good enough. These values make them who they are; everyone deserves the best, and that is what Treguddick aims to deliver.

DR MARTÍN RASKOVSKY Palmeras Coast I by Dr Martín Raskovsky

Dr. Martín Raskovsky’s use of composition and perspective is wonderfully engaging as he juxtaposes different levels of interpretation, exemplifying the two pillars of photographic art: the genuine spatial dimension and the individual inclination of the reporter. This enthralling combination clearly absorbs the viewer and invites them to distinguish which of the two realities is the most significant and touching. Time and space reverse themselves, as side effects of a collateral beauty rooted in each tree branch, sunbeam or drop of seawater. Exceptional depth is given to the remote shadows over and above what the eye can see.

y a w w e n A TO BUY

Gone are the days of window shopping – feeling intimidated by the cost of jewellery.

alk down most high streets in the UK and you’re sure to encounter a jewellers. Unlike many other shops they are not a place where you’d automatically enter for a cursory browse. There is a certain deference that we feel towards them – the ancient glass display cabinets, the carpeted floor and smartly dressed staff who carry an air of authority and above all the price of the items on display – which contributes to a sense that only serious purchasers should be there. However, this is not what you’ll find at Ethica Diamonds. Here the atmosphere is far less intimidating, if at all. Think modern boutique rather than Dickensian emporium. Bright, airy and most importantly friendly, the vibe you get as a customer is one of empowerment. Immediately you’ll feel in control and at ease as you realise that all budgets are catered for. Their Ethica Diamond (a diamond infused moissanite) is more affordable than traditionally mined diamonds, but does not compromise on quality, aesthetics, durability and is made to last a lifetime. For a more eminent budget, they have lab-grown diamonds which are identical in every way to natural diamonds. You can either book an in-house, one-to-one appointment for that special experience or take advantage of their sample service where you can pick up to four rings to try from the

comfort of your own home. What’s more, they offer interest-free finance, meaning you can pay for your engagement ring in instalments at no extra cost. They offer 0% interest-free finance for six, nine or twelve months on all orders between the value of £250 to £15,000 and you can decide how much deposit you put down as long as it’s above 25% of the value of the goods! The proposal journey starts long before you get down on one knee, and Ethica Diamonds will be with you every step of the way, even after! So why not go to Truro and see how Ethica Diamonds can take away the anxiety. You’ll also become part of their mission to turn the jewellery industry on its head by shifting its reliance upon dubiously mined diamonds!
