Cornish Scones

5 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

Scones are quick and easy to make; so I’m told.

That’s not quite my experience with making scones …

These, my third attempt turned out as a variation on Rock Cakes …

Maybe to much egg used?

Anyone know how ‘perzacerly’ how to make real Cornish Scones, which flour and other ingredients …?

Job Satisfaction

“Gordon, My Father received his painting of Agapenor today and is absolutely delighted. Many thanks for sending it over. Kind Regards”

Love Schooners ?

1 September 20201 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

Painting schooners is always a pleasure for me, more so in this instance.

The beautiful working Schooners Racing, Rhoda Mary and Katie Clewett commissioned by Frank Trebilcock, a descendant of the families who built the three renowned vessels two schooners and a sloop.

This painting is now owned with pride by his son and definitely not for sale although fine art prints are still available.

Black Lives Matter?

Drake and slavery

Knocking down statues has become the ‘in’ thing among part of our population.

Now- Wow we have a proposal to knock off Sir Francis Drake, remove his statue from Plymouth Hoe.

If you disagree I suggest you sign the petition to keep the statue on site in place.

https://www.change.org/p/1000-save-drake-statue/psf/promote_or_share

We might as well knock down the Pyramids as they were allegedly built by slave labour.

Such vandalism would be bad for tourism !
