Newlyn fish and fishing on canvas, on cans via Brittany
Latest off the production line from Newlyn's Pilchard Works, tinned line-caught mackerel in a lemon and basil marinade. As before, the pacjkaing is decorated with a classic Newlyn School painting. Unlike the tinned sardines, these mackerel are packed in a small card box - the first batch (see above) will be collectors items as the artist is not credited as with the tins (see below).

Twinkle, twinkle.....
With neighbouring Penzance tipped as the country's next property hotspot it's not surprising to see a number of new builds in Newlyn..... especially with the view these will have across Mounts Bay!
Never mind a girl in every port, seems there's a box from every port!

It's a blue day
Not too sure what Robin Turner, fish merchant, auctioneer, rugby commentator is telling this group on a guided tour of the harbour; whatever it is, the proportions look humungus!
The harbour's resident shag (or is it cormorant?) hangs his wings out to dry on the slip.
Landing crabs in 'bongos' from the crabber Cresca.
Padstein registered MY Valerie May has a few days off in Newlyn.
Filadelfia makes her way in through the gaps.....and mate Perry gives the thumbs up, expect him to be under the 'umbrella' outside the Star Inn later!
The Mermaid from Penzance takes in a trip round the harbour before setting off for a run down the Bay towards Mousehole.
