Marie Vellenoweth Photo Presentaion

Marie Vellenoweth was born in Perranuthnoe in 1913 She lived in the village all her life to reach the grand age of 100 years.  During that period she never married but always had a keen interest in the crafts from knitting and crochet to tatting and bead-work. Amongst these interests was photography which she pursued with a passion well into old age and embraced the era of digital photography as she did everything else.  I remember one time she bought (yet another) new camera, thinking she didn’t understand it I asked her how many pixels it had and she came straight back with the answer.

On her 99th birthday she was given an iPad and had broadband installed which she thoroughly enjoyed and enabled her to keep in touch with village life through the Perranuthnoe website and one of the last memories I have of her was surfing the site and watching the video of her opening the new village hall.

Marie Vellenoweth died on Friday 10th January 2014 peacefully in her sleep with her family around her.

Lifeguard For Perran Beach

Recently, we were visited by Phil Drew from the RNLI. He chatted about the need for a lifeguard on Perranuthnoe Beach. This is something that Lisa and I have often talked about- ever since we were at the Cabin and were often the first stop for victims of weaver fish and even once a broken hip! Lifeguards are not only there to perform water rescues, they deal with anything from basic first aid requirements to cardiac arrests, broken bones and lost children to mention but a few.

If anyone in the village feels that a lifeguard during the summer season would be a benefit, then please feel free to pop in and add your signature to the petition. We have a coupe of weeks to gather as many names as possible.

We hope to see you soon

Michael Ball RIP

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Michael Ball my eldest brother and beloved husband of Barbara passed away last Thursday having fought cancer for the last couple of years. This post is for the people that might not know and for those that don't live in the village but monitor this site and might be unaware. The funeral will be held at Perranuthnoe Church @ 2.00pm on Monday 20th July 2015 donations for Marie Currie & McMillan. After the service there will be refreshments at the Victoria Inn where everybody is welcome so do please come along.

Can Anyone Use These? They Are Free

I have just posted a couple of things on freecycle and I wondered whether there was anyone in the village who might be able to use them?

UPDATED: Needed Urgently

Thank you, I now have enough boxes.

Roz

Has anyone got any boxes, for packing stuff up, books, china, glass etc., they need to be strong, reasonably large, if they have a lid or flaps that close and can keep the stuff in that's good but not essential, cardboard or wood is fine.  Of course I'll collect.

Tel: 01736 711761

Thanks very much

UPDATED: Ginger Cat Found

The ginger cat has now been reunited with his owner.

Many thanks

Susan


I believe he is male, he's a lovely very friendly cat and obviously used to people. I would dearly like to see him returned home - someone must be missing him. If no one claims him I shall have to think again.

My phone number is 01736 710479

Many thanks. Susan
