I present to you twelve Cornish Dishes! I've made

Another Cornish food treat 😋 Fairings-which are

Another Cornish food treat 😋 Fairings-which are buttery spiced ginger biscuits. Originally they were the name for edible souvenirs sold at fairs around England. The Cornish version was the spiced ginger biscuit and during the 1800s young men used to gift them to their sweethearts. Today @furnissbiscuits are the chief makers of these golden treats baking the original Cornish Fairing since 1886. You'll find them in most food shops in Cornwall and most likely included in a Christmas hamper or two.

Continuing with my Cornish food theme. Here's Yarg

Continuing with my Cornish food theme. Here's Yarg cheese. Yarg is simply the name Gray spelt backwards named after Alan and Jenny Gray, farmers who found a 1615 recipe for semi hard cheese in their attic in 1980s. It comes wrapped in nettle leaves and has a creamy flavour. It is now produced at the Lynher Dairies and will probably make a feature on most Cornish cheeseboards this season.

Faces from the weekend. I visited @roskorwellfarm's Christmas craft fair on the weekend, to shop for gifts and took my camera. Really enjoyed taking some portraits of the sellers and capturing a little bit of joy amongst the Lavender, food and mulled wine.

It looked like the weather was a complete wash out

It looked like the weather was a complete wash out this morning but then the sun came out. It was still wildly windy and biting cold but I sketched from the front seat of my car after a hearty ladies breakfast at Porthallow and managed to take a few pics pinning down the pages with pebbles!
I used my @derwentartofficial inktense paint pan set as the colour palette seemed perfect for capturing this coastline. Adding details with inktense pencils and watersoluble crayons too.
