Food for the mind, food for the soul, food for the belly - enjoy the veritable feast that is Newlyn.

Coming this week at the Tolcarne Inn, Rosie Packer hosts a literary lunch......

meal in your hand, a good way to start the day......

at the Newlyn Cafe opposite the fish market.......

next door the live shellfish tank has a growing population of tourist attractions......

and plenty of fresh fish on display......

in the harbour, big gears for big boats, bet this gearbox cost a little more than your average luxury car...........

there's some sort of metaphor going on here........

despite the mizzly weather, an enthusiastic group of 'A' level students from Godolphin School, Salisbury (founded by the family of Godolphin House, near Helston) take advantage of the shelter down the North Quay to capture the scene in front of them.......

in the first year of the course they get the chance to experiment with different styles and approaches........

and fill their sketch pads and memory cards with possible subjects for development back in the studio........

some are more than happy to show off their work.......

so it would be great to see the results of these students' artistic endeavours in Newlyn posted on the site in future - please Sir!..........

back in Penzance, the students would have the opportunity to check out the latest exhibition at the Penlee House Gallery and Museum where three local artists have their coverage of the same subjects subjected for comparison.
