http://robinfalvey.co.uk/2015/03/10/poldark-cornwalls-posh-stick-of-rock

Writer, surfer, artist. March 10, 2015. Poldark – Cornwall’s posh stick of rock. Poldark, it’s a posh stick of rock! It says Cornwall all the way through, it’s kitch as you like and it’s sickly sweet. No doubt the series will prove a hit and the Cornish tourist industry will get a boost, blah, blah, blah. I get that plenty of people love a good costume drama – and who am I to deny them? But I have a solution…. And Jade; brainy, scary in a good way – hot. Jacob Penhallow, fifteen, gnarly North Cornwall.

Writer, surfer, artist. November 6, 2013. Russell Brand would make cider. I defy anyone in a position of skintness, disablement, unemployment or some other form of misery, not to feel sympathy for the rantings of Russell Brand. If you were too busy slaving for a feudal overlord to read his article in the New Statesman, or if you’re a member of the ‘comfortable classes’ more interested in Strictly than social diseases, here’s the Paxman interview on Newsnight:. Ingredients: Friends. Apples. When it starts...

http://robinfalvey.co.uk/cards

Writer, surfer, artist. Everybody needs a greetings card sometimes. Mine are all prints taken from my original oil paintings; lovely coastal scenes of Cornwall. All are printed on top quality 350 gm 100% recycled card and are left blank inside so that you can add your own personal message. The cards measure 7″ x 5″ apart from ‘Praa Sands’ which is 5″ x 5″. You can buy cards individually for 2 each or a set of 8 cards (one of each design) tied together with Cornish tartan ribbon, for just 10. July 7, 2015.

http://robinfalvey.co.uk/2013/11/22/energy-bill-increases-and-central-heating

Writer, surfer, artist. November 22, 2013. Energy bill increases and central heating. Now I’m all plugged into the mains, I’m having to pay more for my electric. In fact, the electric switch on represents a 16% increase in my household bills. But on the bright side, it’s 16% of not a lot. The ‘not a lot’ being the chief advantage of living in a 12 ft caravan. Were you ever roughed up at school by a kid taking advantage of early onset puberty? However, a few weeks back I got a final reminder from n-power&...

Writer, surfer, artist. September 17, 2014. Scottish referendum – watch out Scotland the English are coming. Thought I might as well add my two pennyworth to the mountain of opinion about the Scottish referendum. Cornwall is about as far removed from Scotland as it’s possible to get, but what the heck, we’re all celts, and besides, I did go to Stirling University. I didn’t have a clue what anyone was saying. What I discovered was that I qualified, albeit among only very small minority, as a “Fuckin...

Book Witch: Candid Author Shots

http://bookwitch1.blogspot.com/2012/08/candid-author-shots.html

Thursday, August 23, 2012. I mentioned in an earlier post that Chris Close is the official photographer at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. His author portraits are strung up around Charlotte Square, and I thought I'd share a few more of them because they are just gorgeous. My photos are very poor copies, but you get the idea! Ben Marcus, Meg Rosoff and Ken McLeod. Author unknown, Kim Thuy and Matias Nespolo. Ryan Van Winckle, Vivian French and Jenny Colgan. Val McDermid, Ben Okri and Ian Rankin.
