Sally Kindberg, knots and sailors
I like knots, in fact I once wrote and illustrated a book about them, as well as learning how to tie them, on a basic sailing course on the North Sea years ago. It was fascinating to talk to former … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg in Cornwall (part two)

Penzance and St Ives visit
It was 32 degrees in London recently, pollution levels were high and I began to croak and wheeze. I just had to get away and breathe some sea air. That’s my excuse anyway. I checked the weather forecast, packed a … Continue reading
