Sloop Studios: A time to celebrate Sloop Studios is marking its 50th Anniversary in June by welcoming past members of its artistic community to a celebration party and inviting them to share their memories of the pioneering craft market – the first of its kind in Britain.

The artists and makers currently based at the studios will also be celebrating this milestone anniversary in a variety of other ways, including staging an exhibition of photographs of the original building and studios.

It was Leonard Williams, chairman of the Penwith Society of Artists, who had the imaginative idea of converting an old fish market, just a minute’s walk from St Ives harbour, into a covered market where craftspeople could sell their hand-made work.

The project attracted national interest, with the Manchester Guardian reporting: “As much as possible of the original atmosphere has been retained in that the existing large granite monolithic pillars supporting the first floor have been made a main feature and the old cobbled floor has been re-laid in a pathway between the booths. The counters are made out of Delabole slate and the fittings are polished wood.”

The studios opened in June 1969, with a founding ethos to gather together a creative community selling articles of a high standard in an environment designed specifically for them.

The essential conditions for any tenancy is that any items for sale must be created or designed by the artists and makers themselves.

Fifty years on, 11 independent, boutique workshops offer a range of art, crafts and

4

locally made, high-quality gifts. You’ll find stained glass, textiles, jewellery and ceramics, hand-mixed paints, children’s story books and furniture from reclaimed wood.

Painter and printmaker Michele Chilton and her husband, designer and illustrator Jez Webb, work as Oshun Oxtra – a misspelling of Ocean Orchestra, and the name of the river boat in the Moomin children’s books by Tove Jansson.

Michele has a passion for painting birds and cats against a backdrop of the harbour, often from an unusual perspective.

Her aim is to capture not just the moment of being present in a specific location, but also the memory of the moment. Her painting Seagulls is on the cover of this issue of St Ives Local.

Sloop Studios is open to the public to buy original work direct from the artists and makers seven days a week. Some studio owners also run workshops for anyone interested in learning a new skill!

If you’re a former Sloop artist or craftsperson and have any stories or photos to share, the present team would love to hear from you. Contact them via the website www.sloopstudios.com or www.facebook.com/sloopstudios

St Ives September Festival: New additions to this year’s line-up West Cornwall folk duo Katie Kirk and Rick Williams will be making a welcome return to the St Ives September Festival when they appear on the Guildhall stage on Wednesday, 25th September.

After selling out St Ives Arts Club at fairly short notice last year, they have been invited back this year for a headline appearance at the festival’s much larger main venue.

They have been added to the two-week Guildhall music line-up since the announcement of the original programme – featured in the last issue of St Ives Local – consisting of Scottish folk star Dougie MacLean, Irish band Dervish, multiaward-winning folk duo Show of Hands with The Lost Sound Dartmoor Folk Choir, Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys, and Geoff Lakeman.

Also added are Kit Hawes and Aaron Catlow, best known as the virtuoso guitar and fiddle players from the band Sheelanagig, on Monday, 23rd September.

One of their big fans is BBC Radio 2 Folk Show host Mark Radcliffe who describes them as “reminiscent of Martin Carthy and the late Dave Swarbrick – and I can give them no higher accolade.”

“We’re very much looking forward to playing at the Guildhall and feel honoured to be part of the St Ives September Festival again,” said Newlyn-born Rick. “We had a hugely enjoyable evening at our sold-out Arts Club gig for the Festival last year.

“We’ve been steadily adding to our set of old and new folk songs and we hope to see some new faces along with familiar ones this year!”

A St Ives Football Club fundraiser will bring popular Cornwall band Sandy Acre 7 to The Guildhall on Sunday, 22nd September, allowing festival-goers to display their own brand of fancy footwork on the dance floor.

Rick and Katie, who lives in Perranuthnoe, combine a love of early music with an ear for the timeless quality behind contemporary songs.

St Ives September Festival tickets are available online at www.crbo.co.uk and from tourist information centres throughout Cornwall.

St Ives Community Land Trust: Affordable homes project The Old Vicarage Flats will be the first community-led housing project to enable local people to play a leading and lasting role in addressing the housing problems in St Ives.

“We believe bringing buildings into community ownership is the best way to meet local housing needs,” said Morag Robertson, chair of the St Ives Community Land Trust (CLT). The organisation was established as a community benefit society following the successful implementation of the local Neighbourhood Plan. The creation of affordable homes was identified as a key priority during the public consultation process for the Plan.

Morag said: “We are looking for everyone to contribute whatever they can afford. We can all sustain St Ives in the future by supporting projects such as The Old Vicarage Flats. We need to raise as much as we can by 30th June.

Every £1 people donate will help to secure these flats for future generations.”

The amount needed is in excess of £500,000, which the trust is aiming to raise through donations, a grant and a community share issue. Go to stivesclt.org.uk to make a donation and to ethex.org.uk to invest in the community shares.

“The people of St Ives have a real sense of place and belonging, grounded in a deep connection to the landscape and its past communities. Today, people from families with an unbroken line of living in the town for many generations now face being the ones to break that bond by having to move to somewhere cheaper to live.

“The Old Vicarage Flats project will create six affordable flats for rent in the centre of town.

This will create genuinely affordable homes in ways that are difficult to achieve through mainstream housing.”

St Ives CLT has bought the building from a local housing association and Cornwall Council, financed by social investment loans. The flats will be remodelled and renovated to a high standard of environmental sustainability in keeping with the age and existing structural demands of the building. Now the trust needs to raise the money for the refurbishment and to repay a short-term loan.

St. Ives Archive: Historic inns and taverns In the early 1800s, there were many inns and taverns in St Ives, the majority centred around Market Place.

The present Market Place building was built in 1835, replacing an older one which was demolished in 1832, after having been in use for some 350 years.

The main inns in that area were the George and Dragon (where Off the Beaten Track is now) and the Golden Lion (still a public house) – both pictured below in around 1900 – the Red Lion (near to the front entrance of the church) and the Star (situated in St Andrew’s Street). These buildings were not only used as inns, but also for meetings and entertainment. Market days were always busy, especially on ‘Account Days’ at the mines, when miners would come to town determined to have a good time.

At the entrance to Fore Street stood an inn known in 1795 as the Queen’s Head and in 1809 as the New Inn. The original cellar still exists: imagine the scenes which this smugglers’ haunt may have witnessed!

Skidden House (thought to date from 1540) would have been the first inn people entering St Ives via road would come across, as Skidden Hill was the main roadway into the town at that time. It wasn’t until 1835 that the public was allowed free passage over what is now The Terrace. Before then, people would have had to come from Trelyon via Tregenna Woods and Talland, as The Terrace was gated.

The first public house that anyone arriving in St Ives by boat would encounter would probably be the Ship

Aground.

This inn was situated where the Fisherman’s Co-op is now, at Carn Glaze Rocks on the Wharf, and if you look on the wall above the shop, the proof is there …

The Sloop Inn, dating from 1645, is the most famous and picturesque pub in the town, and certainly one of the oldest. It can be seen in the background of the photo above, along with the Globe and the White Hart.

Other inns and taverns mentioned in documents held at the Archive are: Beggar’s Roost, Bluebell, Britannia, Castle, Commercial Hotel, Cornish Arms, Crown and Anchor, Dolphin, Duke of York, Exchange, Hotel and Posting House, King’s Arms, Queens Hotel, Sheaf of Wheat, Tap House, Temperance Hotel, Union, Victory, Western Hotel (originally the White Horse Inn – or White Oss to locals), Williams’ Posting House and Wheat Sheaf.

It is said that when the parish church had a Minstrels’ Gallery at the western end, it was not unusual for the landlord of the Star to supply ‘light refreshment’ to performers during the sermon – and a beer house known as Betsy Chiloffs, situated at Tregenna Place, was so called because the landlady would ask customers if they wanted something in their beer to take the chill off!

Bier Huis Grand Café Max Chambers and Bethany Stevenson have now opened their Bier Huis Grand Café, on St Andrew’s Street, and what a great addition to St Ives’ drinking scene it is.

I went in to try some beers and was hugely impressed by the draught De Koninck Antwerp Pale Ale, a 5.2% amber brew with a beautiful hop character, and an old favourite, Westmalle Dubbel (7% ABV), dark, rich and enticing.

What I wasn’t expecting was to find a bucket list beer that isn’t actually Belgian. Tynt Meadow is the only beer in the UK made by Trappist monks, in Leicestershire. There’s only one brew in theor

portfolio at the moment, a strong old ale at a mighty 7.4%, and it’s glorious. Dark, yet with plenty of vibrant fruit notes that prevent the sweet malts stealing the show.

With a terrific laid-back vibe, and a classic Belgian food, as well as the terrific selection of beers and hard-to-find spirits and wines, the Café is worth seeking out in its slightly-awayfrom-the-town centre location.

Recipe: Tribute Ale turkey mac ‘n’ cheese Turkeys: not just for Christmas. In fact, probably cheaper outside the festive season when everyone’s trying t gobble them up. If you’re having one for a weekend roast, how about trying this recipe using the leftovers? A wonderful twist on a comforting favourite, courtesy of our friends at St Austell Brewery. Serves four.

Method Pre-heat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter. Slowly whisk in the flour until the mix starts to look like grains of sand. Add the milk slowly and whisk until all the lumps have disappeared. Next, add the Tribute ale and whisk until you have a smooth and

silky white sauce. Put the sauce aside to cool.

In a separate deep pan, bring some water to boil.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for eight minutes. Drain the water and put the pasta aside to cool.

Mix the cooked pasta with the white sauce and fold in the diced turkey, half of the cheese, and the chopped parsley. Spoon the creamy pasta mix into a heatproof baking dish, and top with the rest of the grated cheese and breadcrumbs.

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese has melted and there is a golden crust on top. Serve with a dressed green salad.

50g plain flour 250ml milk 250ml Tribute Ale 1 sprig curly parsley, finely chopped 15g golden breadcrumbs ¼ tsp pepper

St Michael’s Hospital: A day of celebration St Michael’s Hospital in Hayle has been caring for the local community for more than 100 years.

A Celebration Day to be held in the hospital grounds between midday and 4pm on 22nd June will feature stalls, entertainment and crafts. It will be also be a time to honour the hospital’s past, highlight its present, and preview its future.

It was in 1904 that a late Victorian country house in Trelissick Road was donated to the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross of Liege. A convent was established there, and in 1913, St Michael’s Hospital was established on the neighbouring site. The hospital remained under the ownership of the Daughters of the Cross until it was acquired by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) in 2003.

At the Celebration Day, organised by the Friends of St Michael’s Hospital, local historian Trevor Smitherarm will give a talk about the fascinating past of the site, and members of the RCHT’s management team will describe the hospital’s current role – carrying out all the trust’s elective breast and orthopaedic surgery and so becoming a Centre of Excellence in these fields.

Hospital manager Helen Williams said: “We have

extremely positive feedback from our patients regarding their experience, and excellent patient outcomes; we ensure that best practice is applied to ensure the best positive outcome from surgery, with a minimal stay in hospital.” Plans are in progress to develop the site and buildings to enhance current facilities, part of a longer-term strategy to facilitate the provision of elective care, from out-patients to surgery.

All the proceeds from the Celebration Day will be targeted at improving patient experience. The event is being held in partnership with the Royal British Legion and will also mark Armed Forces Day. The RBL is hosting a Veteran’s Village, which will include representatives of its Riders Branch, and Handy Van and Independent Living services, plus a range of children’s activities. There will also be a performance from the RNAS Culdrose Military Wives choir.

The Friends of St Michael’s Hospital welcome late bookings for stalls, games, craft and entertainment. Call 07955 354853 or email jacquelinemassey@hotmail.com.

For more information about the event, call the Royal Cornwall Hospital Charity fundraising team on 01872 252858 or email rcht.charity@nhs.net.

St Ives Glass Art Workshops: Discover your inner artist When Terri Bunn, the creative force behind St Ives Glass Art Workshops, invited me to a taster session, I told her that few things scare me more than being presented with arty-crafty materials and told to make something with them. But Terri has a way of bringing out your inner artist.

She’s a patient and encouraging teacher who guided me though every stage of making a coaster, from measuring and cutting the glass to painting my sketched design. To my surprise, the glass didn’t shatter into shards, I didn’t spill paint all over the table, and the coaster which came out of the kiln was both usable and attractive.

Terri’s path to becoming a fused glass artist began 15 years ago, during her foundation degree course in fine art and happened upon a fused art demonstration in the college ceramics department. After taking a beginners’ evening class, she did a year’s course with Falmouthbased glass artist Jane Smith, and bought a kiln called Kevin. She acquired her second, larger kiln – Doris – a year later, and spent all her spare time trying out new techniques in a shed at the guest house she was then

running in St Ives.

“I’ve always liked experimentation, and thinking outside the box,” she says. Four years ago, Terri moved to Carbis Bay and now has a fully-equipped studio, from where she runs regular taster sessions and workshops. Classes start at £40 for a two-hour session, which includes glass, materials and firing. People can choose to make anything from a pendant to a large dish.

A session with Terri is both relaxing and fun, no matter what your skill level. For local people and holidaymakers alike, it’s an ideal opportunity to have some ‘me’ time, or spend an afternoon doing something different with your friends or family. To find out more, visit http://www.stivesglassart.com or phone Terri for a chat on 01736 601968 or 07871 075945.

SurfaceRehab SurfaceRehab offers a cost-effective solution to the problem of unsightly scratches, chips, cracks, marks and dents on hard surfaces. Typical items which can benefit from the company’s repair service include baths, showers, doors, floors, windows, kitchens, worktops, tiles and furniture.

SurfaceRehab is often contacted by owners of holiday lets, who spot a scratch or a chip on a bathroom or kitchen unit at the end of a letting week and need an instant repair to restore an immaculate appearance before the next guests arrive.

The service also extends to the repair of leather and vinyl furniture upholstery surfaces in the home or car. All leather and vinyl upholstery can suffer damage in day-to-day use, such as cuts, cracking, pet damage, ink stains and discolouration.

The company can also help people in their own homes. When they find a damaged surface, a simple on-the-spot colour matched repair can make it look as good as new. In most cases this is less expensive than replacing the item, quicker, and more environmentally friendly as it reduces landfill.

Stephen Kilby set up SurfaceRehab to answer a need he had identified in his days as a hotelier.

Whether damage to a surface has been caused to general wear and tear or a one-off accident, the effect is often to ruin the overall appearance of the item – yet in many cases, it is neither necessary not financially viable to replace it.

St Ives Farmers’ Market: A chat with Shelley from the Veg Heads Where are you both from, and how did you come to set up a business selling home-made vegan food?

I grew up in a valley down near Porthcurno, and then on my travels, I met Sofia. We shared a love of food, and two months later, we decided to start the Veg Heads.

Tell us about your inspiration and ethics.

Our passion comes from wanting to share with the world how healthy food can also be delicious and indulgent, whether it’s burgers or trifle.

What are your thoughts on the rise of plant-based diets? Are they viable for people to switch to?

We are strict vegans, and we couldn’t be happier with the fact that the world is waking up and realising

how necessary a change to a plant-based diet is. Planet Earth cannot sustain any other diet. A switch is mandatory to reverse the damage that has been done through the last century.

What are your favourite naughty treats?

Vegan ice cream. It’s amazing how tasty bananas and cacao can be! Another favourite is our date and cacao spread, which is delicious on porridge or toast.

Do you sell at any other markets?

Currently we do Mousehole and Penzance, as well as St Ives. We will also be at the Tropical Pressure Festival at Mount Pleasant Eco Park at Porthtowan from 12th to 14th July. We both have some funky moves on the dance floor!

South African style: Expert advice from Trevena Cross Nurseries While the Trevena Cross offering today stretches far beyond just the ‘exotica’ that at one time was its main claim to fame, it is still very passionate about the plants that could be coined the nursery’s ‘signature plants’, and grows and sells a huge range of exotic plants from the southern hemisphere. It is only the climate and harsh winters in past decades that have dictated which plant varieties have remained in the Trevena Cross selection.

Anything that has succumbed to colder temperatures on site and shown itself to be lacking in hardiness, has been cut from the mix.

Of the huge range available, including the majestic tree ferns from New Zealand and Australia, it is a couple of picks from South Africa that could be said to have real historical significance for Trevena Cross. The first is the restio, as Trevena Cross Owner, Graham explains: “Over twenty years ago a local plant enthusiast invited me along to view his garden, and I was truly astounded by the display and variety of restios happily growing there. Thriving in the mild Cornish climate, I thought they’d be a perfect addition to our own plant collection and as such we were the first in the UK to introduce them to a retail nursery, growing on a large scale for a mass market.”

Attractive sculptural accent foliage plants – or great in a group, you could say restios lie somewhere between grasses and bamboos, although they are unique in their own right.

The true ‘wow-factor’ of a specimen can’t be truly realised until it is planted out, but its robust ‘see-through’ foliage means it can be planted in any position – bed/border/pot in the garden – without screening out that which surrounds or complements it.

The second South African star, also introduced to a retail growing environment in the UK by

22

Trevena Cross, is the protea, which enjoys a very free-draining, acidic soil, low in nutrients.

A show-stopper in a pot, proteas have the most incredible flowers, the king protea perhaps the most impressive of all. Create your own South African landscape this summer…

A sea of beautiful sculptural foliage plants, in the form of restios, combined with colourful, show-stopping exotic proteas and leucadendrons, and complemented by splashes of wonderful, long-term patio colour from argyranthemums (great coastal choice!), gazanias, geraniums, diascias, that will last until Christmas or beyond – and you have the recipe for your very own taste of South Africa, right here in St Ives!

Home and Garden

Garden Stories: Secret Gardens of St Ives The wild, secluded garden at Ty Bryn, once the home of celebrated St Ives artist Robert Borlase Smart, offers visitors far-reaching views over St Ives and the coast. It is one of 12 horticultural havens which will be welcoming visitors over the weekend of 15 and 16 June. In some cases, it will be the first time they have opened to the public.

Often hidden away and off the beaten track, the Secret Garden of St Ives range in size and style, offering an interesting, unusual and colourful tour of the town.

Borlase Smart’s garden, in Bishop’s Road, dates from 1928, and has a timeless charm. One of the newest of the 12 is Porthminster Kitchen Garden, which was created just over 10 years ago on a sloping patch of wasteground between Porthminster Beach Cafe and the South West coast path.

In this potager-style garden, designed to be both productive and pretty, a wide variety of herbs and vegetables flourish among flowers grown for cutting.

Other gardens include the tranquil and leafy grounds of Grade II-listed Ayr Manor House, and the spacious, multi-faceted garden of St Ives Infant School, where children play an active part in clearing beds, sowing seeds and planting: they will be able to enjoy the fruits of their labours when the vegetables and fruit are harvested at the end of the summer term.

24

The gardens are mostly within walking distance of each other, and provide an opportunity to explore lesser known parts of St Ives. In their variety and richness, they will celebrate the diversity and individuality of gardening in St Ives, with its special micro-climate and growing conditions. An additional attraction is the refreshments which will served in several of the gardens.

The gardens will be open between 12 noon and 5pm on both days.

Tickets cost £6, with free admission for children under 16, and are available from the St Ives Library Information Service, or from Colenso’s on Gabriel Street. The tickets are valid for both days.

This annual event is organised by the St Ives Community Fund, which raises funds to support individuals in need and local community projects. This year the proceeds will be shared with St Ives Food Bank, which provides a practical and vital safety net for people in St Ives.

For more information, call 01736 795387.

Seasalt Cornwall: Paint Colours of St Ives Seasalt Cornwall’s current collection explores the special connection of celebrated creative sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf with St Ives. The artist and the writer spent their childhood summers at Talland House, with its enchanting garden and spectacular views over the bay.

As the Seasalt team explain: “It’s easy to imagine the sisters immersing themselves in the landscape during their summers in Cornwall, as well as the inspiration they found in St Ives’ artistic community, some of whom became lifelong friends.

“The town’s modern artists also inspired our designers, who drew from the bold, graphic paintings and saturated tones of painters such as Sir Terry Frost and Patrick Heron, who lived and worked in the area.

“And we’ve captured the harbourside shapes and

brightly painted shades of St Ives fishing boats in our signature nautical styles.

A fresh line-up of Cornish stripes and new pieces in soft garment-dyed linen sit alongside artistic and coastal prints, to see you from spring right through the warmer months.”

Travel: Marrakech by travel counsellor Jo Fisher

This fascinating Moroccan city was founded almost 1,000 years ago. Set on the edge of the Sahara Desert, close to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains (which are visible in the distance), it is delightfully colourful, full of culture, and guaranteed to awaken your sense of adventure.

The Medina is the historic part of town surrounded by high stone walls. No visit to Marrakech would be complete without taking in the exotic sights and sounds of Djemaa el-Fnaa (a Unesco designated site), and the large public square in the city centre, which is filled with locals selling anything and everything, snake charmers, magicians and entertainers. It is popular with tourists and locals alike.

Our visit fell in June, and at night, the Medina really came to life, with families celebrating the end of Ramadan and enjoying the culinary delights of the many food stalls. We felt safe and comfortable even after dark – but do fix a price before engaging with entertainers or taking photos of people, as most will expect to be paid for this privilege. When you arrive, why not take a seat on a restaurant terrace and watch what’s going on?

The souks of Marrakech are famed as some of the most exotic marketplaces in the world. Set in a maze of shaded alleyways and passages, with the occasional beam of sunlight forcing its way through, they are filled with brightly-coloured spices, hand-made multi-coloured carpets, jewellery and antiques, silk kaftans, leather goods – and the most beautiful hand-made lanterns and lightshades I have ever seen.

when the heat of the midday sun has subsided.

Get ready for some bartering, and be sure to leave some space in your suitcase for your newly-purchased goods!

When choosing accommodation, you may be attracted by a riad, a traditional Moroccan house set around an Andalusian-style courtyard or garden, often containing a fountain. These were originally stately homes for the wealthy. You can stay in a basic riad or opt for a more luxurious property, which may have a swimming pool and hammam (a traditional wellness spa). There is also a range of hotels, from basic guest houses to luxury western-style resorts.

There is so much to see in Marrakech: historic sites such as the hidden tombs of sultans, art galleries, museums, and Yves St Laurent’s Jardin Majorelle. Venture a little further afield to the Atlas Mountains (where you could stay in a kasbah for a couple of nights) or take a day trip to Essaouira, a coastal town famous for its riads and artisan industries.

I stayed for three nights and three days in Marrakech. However, I would recommend staying a little longer to take full advantage of everything the city has to offer.

01209 808920 jo.fisher@travelcounsellors.com http://www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/jo.fisher

The best time to visit the souks is in the early morning, while it’s still cool, or in the evening,

Book Review

by Alice Harandon, manager of St. Ives Bookseller

The Frayed Atlantic Edge: A Historian’s Journey from Shetland to the Channel – David Gange HarperCollins £18.99 Over the course of a year, historian and nature writer David Gange kayaked the weather-ravaged coasts of Atlantic Britain and Ireland from north to south: every cove, sound, inlet, island.

Paddling alone in sun and storms, among dozens of whales and countless seabirds, Gange and his kayak travelled through a Shetland summer, Scottish winter and Irish spring before reaching Wales and Cornwall. Sitting low in the water, as did millions in eras when coasts were the main arteries of trade and communication, Gange describes, in captivating prose and loving detail, the experiences of kayaking, coastal living and historical discovery.

The Bookshop on the Shore – Jenny Colgan Sphere £12.99 Escape to the Scottish Highlands where a tiny bookshop perches on the edge of a loch. Zoe is a single mother living in London, Hari, her gorgeous little boy is perfect in every way – except for the fact that he just doesn’t speak at all. When her landlord raises the rent on her flat, Zoe doesn’t know where to turn, but a suggestion that she could move to Scotland to help run a bookshop offers the change they so desperately need. Faced with an unwelcoming boss, a moody, distant bookseller named Ramsay Urquart, and a band of unruly children, Zoe starts to wonder if she’s made the right decision.

But no one could resist the beauty of the loch glinting in the summer sun. If only Ramsay would just be a little more approachable ...

28

Murder in Midsummer: Classic Mysteries for the Holidays – edited by Cecily Gayford Profile Books £7.99 It’s the middle of summer.

On Cornish seafronts, happy children grip melting ice-creams. In the south of France, sunlight filters through leaves as families picnic in the shade. And in the fashionable resorts of the Mediterranean, the beautiful people sun themselves on picture-postcard beaches. And in those long, hot summer nights ... murder walks abroad.

Away from familiar surroundings, and as the temperature rises, old grudges come to the surface, new hatreds reach boiling point – and clever minds start to make dangerous plans.

These ten classic mysteries, from some of the finest crime writers, prove that no matter where you travel to - there’s no rest for the wicked. The perfect escapist read this summer, but careful it doesn’t give you ideas!

Contender: The Chosen – Taran Matharu Hodder Children’s £12.99 An epic new trilogy from the bestselling author of the Summoner series.

Convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, Cade is facing a year in reform school when he finds himself suddenly transported to another realm.

Populated by bloodthirsty prehistoric creatures and fierce warriors, Cade’s surroundings are full of danger. Along with his fellow students, Cade is forced to become a contender in a deadly game of the highest stakes, controlled by invisible overlords.

Who are these brutal rulers, and why did they choose Cade? Before he can find answers, Cade must get ready to fight ...

Plastic Free St Ives: Say ‘no’ to plastic As with any commodity, the proper way to deal with the over-consumption of plastic is to minimise the use of it. The mantra that many plastic-free communities use is ‘Reduce, Re-use, Refuse, Recycle’, with recycling being the last resort. However, plastic’s popularity and widespread use is why handling it responsibly and correctly, once it becomes waste, is so important. We can optimise the lifespan of plastics by re-using and recycling them.

carpet, furniture, panelling, benches, fencing, dog houses, and picnic tables.

Often recyclable, but not always…

Recycling codes #1 includes food takeaway containers, microwaveable trays, and plastic cups; #4 most supermarket bags, plastic wraps, frozen food bags, bread bags, and squeezable bottles; and #5 yogurt containers, disposable cups and plates, ketchup squeeze bottles, and some baby bottles. These plastics are recycled into things like plastic floor tiles, rubbish bins, postal envelopes, plastic brooms, rakes, trays, and hair brushes.

Almost never recyclable

There is still a knowledge gap between the general public and plastic recycling, with the key one being which plastics can be recycled.

There are many different types of plastic and most plastic items will have a plastic code stamped on.

Recycle these…

Recycling codes #1 and #2 are the most widely accepted, with #1 comprising soft drink bottles, water bottles, salad dressing, cooking oil, and many cleaning products, and #2 including milk and juice bottles, bleach, laundry detergent, shampoo, some yogurt and butter tubs, and cereal box liners. These plastics are recycled into new plastic containers, tote bags, fleece clothing,

30

It is difficult to recycle these plastics into other products. Cornwall can now recycle many plastics, including most pots, tubs and trays.

All the plastics collected are sent to a materials recycling facility at Bodmin or Pool, then sent on to other UK reprocessing plants. You’d be surprised what you can recycle in Cornwall now. To name a few: bottle tops, coffee cup lids, noodle pots, sweet tubs, and face cream pots!

Please remember to rinse out pots, tubs and trays before putting them out for recycling.

Cornwall Council has a great link for what plastic pots, tubs and trays you can or cannot put in the recycling bags www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/28556127/plastics-recycling-poster-web.pdf
