A Breath of Fresh Air
  
Southwold architect and artist Juliet Blaxland, who lives on the cliffs at Easton Bavents, has just launched a bright and breezy new website selling high quality prints from her quirky seaside paintings and photomontages. Many of these images are understatedly hilarious in an old-fashioned sort of way, celebrating a collective British stoicism in the face of everything going slightly wrong. Swimmers are cold, picnics are wet, chips are stolen by seagulls, but still everyone claims to be "Having a wonderful time!". For a more reflective mood there are also some atmospheric, almost abstract, depictions of the empty beach at night and in winter. Commercially published postcards from the series are currently for sale at typical seaside postcard shops countrywide, including in Southwold. Ideal for jollying up spare rooms, holiday houses and coastal businesses, A3 signed prints from more than 60 of these refreshing pictures are available at the gloom-busting price of £15 each, from www.julietblaxland.co.uk.
  
John Tookey, Exhibition - ‘Distinctly Tookey’ - 12th to 21st June 2009
 John’s brush strokes display immense freedom, yet he captures, without doubt, the mood and movement of his subject matter, even when looking deceptively simplistic. His palette is distinctly Tookey, his perspective superb.
Exhibitions include the Royal Institute of water colourist, Pastel Society and the Royal institute.
His work is included in many publications and is held in national and international corporate and private collections.

The Southwold - Walberswick Ferry
A new book by Dani Church and Ann Gander
Ferrywoman Dani Church is a familiar sight as she rows locals and tourists across the River Blyth, but few people realise that there is a fascinating history behind the service, going back to at least the 13th century. Now Dani, with the help of author-publisher Ann Gander, has put together a book telling all about the history of the ferry and of the ferrymen and women who have worked the route.
