October News

Our hectic Summer seems to have drifted to Autumn so quickly I wonder where the year has gone.
St Just seems busier than ever. The leaflets that we produced for the Chamber of Commerce to promote our local businesses - Exploring and Where to Stay in the St Just and Land's End Area - have been really popular and we hope we have encouraged people to stop off and stay for a while to enjoy what we have to offer in the town. Certainly many of our guests at the holiday cottage who have not visited before are amazed how much there is in the town and how friendly people are. If you are either looking to visit or planning to live in the area, the Chamber website is a good place to start.
Most of my time recently has been spent on a couple of marketing projects for clients and working on our own website for the fused glass that we produce. Our glass Christmas decorations are now out in all the galleries and available online which makes Christmas seem to come around even sooner. If you are thinking about what to buy for your loved ones this year, check out the The Glass House website for some great fused glass gifts and Christmas ornaments.
The other parts of our lives are winding down as the season closes. The clocks change this weekend so my summer evening agility classes are too dark and too cold to continue, but Saturdays are still busy. And we have guests in the holiday cottage until mid-November and then a few weeks for a break before Christmas and New Year.
And finally the picture above just about sums up the month of weather - very changeable, stormy, rainy, sunny, but overall very beautiful. I suddenly saw the view driving back from St Ives this morning as a rain cloud approached St Michael's Mount. Stunning.
