<br />
Travelling from Cornwall to Tennessee took me a day and a half.<br />
<br />
I started to wonder what kind of torture I was in for as I passed through Pigeon Forge.<br />
The place is tacky beyond belief and so wildly over-the-top that it is almost a parody of over-the-topness!<br />
Just along this one stretch of road in quick succession we have all kinds of nightmarish places to have a 'themed dinner'. <br />
Battling Lumberjacks anyone?<br />
<br />
Here's some snaps that should come with some kind of disbelief warning<br />

Hard to choose though.<br />
It was a close call between the Titanic and the Totally Upside Down Mansion!<br />
Yup, it's resting on the pointed roof there.<br />

<br />
And once we got to Gatlinburg, my heart sank because the surreal 'situation' didn't get any better.<br />
However, I needn't have worried because hidden away down a little lane in the middle of this ghastly place was an oasis of peace and tranquility.<br />

<br />
I dashed back from my sabbatical in America to carry the baton for the next 10 days while Julia dashes off to the Metal Clay World Conference in America.<br />
<br />
In this case the baton in question consists of the business i-phone, the diary, and a long list of things to do!<br />
<br />
First stop-<br />
Open up the workshop for a private tuition class.<br />
<br />
Experienced jeweller Jan Baron booked a bespoke day with Hayley Jacks to learn about wax carving in order to step up production of her successful jewellery range.<br />

A couple of villages in Cornall have now adopted this idea in various ways...<br />
<br />
First you need a redundant telephone box<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zVDbneXPXVil8k-s4-OZz2epkNqVb8Wl9Db5DTSNOhdrQ8FvsmQ2vD5dWBYZT7_vHs_PlBXWEwwpubtkQ0brYGeSBzICVWQHedKOS8y9WsjQRrkuIfBZHyIuUS8VV15Wmi-8OCgiAmo/s1600/P1060674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zVDbneXPXVil8k-s4-OZz2epkNqVb8Wl9Db5DTSNOhdrQ8FvsmQ2vD5dWBYZT7_vHs_PlBXWEwwpubtkQ0brYGeSBzICVWQHedKOS8y9WsjQRrkuIfBZHyIuUS8VV15Wmi-8OCgiAmo/s400/P1060674.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then you need to gang up and insist that the phone company doesn't remove the redundant box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next decide what it will become instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One village put some shelves inside and people put their unwanted books in so anyone can take a book to read whenever they feel like it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Instant library!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another village uses theirs as a 'swap-shop' for seedlings. If you have too many tomato plants, stick em in the phone box so someone else can make use of them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Free plant merry-go-round.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's true community. People just doing it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Gotta love it!</div>Lisa says...http://www.blogger.com/profile/05311752767120710034noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353839239836583147.post-54664236140964759242011-07-05T16:58:00.000-07:002011-07-19T18:12:08.266-07:00Familiar sceneryI was struck by how familiar the view from the London to Cornwall train looked.<br />
So much like areas of Vermont I had just visited!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJm6IqGqnnsaC_IoSLz9iPt3BvcXC1kQvSe-b4fxxyxOIgIcOPA0owWEGQKN8viMa1vd2zM_c2Vr3ZvG3PjfBsgOQ_QrUH4dvn9LMgYI5XmaQFrpHYXqVi-TPuiaiC5xIm-Q0pVmvw57g/s1600/IMG_1818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJm6IqGqnnsaC_IoSLz9iPt3BvcXC1kQvSe-b4fxxyxOIgIcOPA0owWEGQKN8viMa1vd2zM_c2Vr3ZvG3PjfBsgOQ_QrUH4dvn9LMgYI5XmaQFrpHYXqVi-TPuiaiC5xIm-Q0pVmvw57g/s320/IMG_1818.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I love this train journey.<br />
About an hour and a half in, if you are sitting facing forward on the left hand side of the train you will see the giant white horse carved into the side of the hills.<br />
The scale is amazing!<br />
Didn't quite catch it on camera though-a white blurr instead.<br />
<br />
Further on in the journey, the train runs right beside the sea and on a wild day this splashes over the train making for a dramatic view.<br />
<br />

Easy journey arriving into London on a busy Sunday.<br />
Gorgeous warm weather with a cooling breeze suits me just fine after the heat in America.<br />
<br />
Family celebrations all round<br />
My son turned 30<br />
My little sister 14<br />
and my Dad 70<br />
All these birthdays while I was away. So I had some catching up to do!<br />
Cake, balloons, laughter, fun and frolicks aplenty.<br />

She was a great host and I enjoyed her 'take' on everything.<br />
Wit, wisdom and warmth.<br />
<br />
So after a few tears I hopped back on my trusty white steed (read Jeep) and set off.<br />
I allowed myself an extra day so i could meander my way back to Boston airport.<br />

Lush rolling hills, laid back attitude and plenty of rain!<br />
It's a little bizarre that I am headed to a place called Bethel, Vermont when I live about 5 miles from a place with the exact same name in Cornwall.<br />
<br />
The reason I'm in Vermont is to take 2 classes with <a href="http://www.celiefago.com/">Celie Fago</a> and help out as teaching assistant.<br />
Nervous and excited I made my way into the hills on the final leg of my trek.<br />
All tension left me as this magic little lane signaled my arrival<br />
<br />

The last time I'd seen Celie and her apprentice <a href="http://www.jenniferkahnjewelry.com/">Jen Khan</a> was back in 2007 when they came to England to run a Masterclass at the <a href="http://www.mcsj.co.uk/">Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery</a>.<br />
When that class finished Celie also gave 3 presentations at the first PMC Guild UK Symposium in London.<br />
We had become good friends in a short space of time and, although contact in the interim 4 years had been sporadic, we easily slotted back into enjoying each others company as if it were yesterday.<br />
After a little grocery shopping expedition I took a look around before supper.<br />
<br />
I liked what I saw in the fading light<br />
