searching for michael peterson



we went into Bude last night to see a screening of the new surf film by Jolyon Hoff
Searching for Michael Peterson

glenn had read a book about MP a while ago so we already knew his story
but it was good to see his story on film

Jolyon is touring the uk with the film at the moment -
you can catch it tonight in Newquay

our open studio and other stuff




it's august already - and today is the 2nd day of our open studio, our last summer show.

not quite sure where the last 2 weeks have gone ...........
it's all a blur of people coming to visit, looking through old memories,
taking ella to leopallooza, catching up with orders,
getting the studio ready, an interview for a magazine,
glenn grabbing a surf when he can, flicking through new books that
arrived, applying for xmas shows and exhibitions,

we need a break

but

the sun is shining today

the perfect day for you to come to Welcombe,
visit the 11 open studios here,
have lunch in our lovely pub, and go to our beautiful beach.

we'll be sitting in the sun outside our studio (10.30am - 4.30pm)
come and visit.
