We love the village, our barn, and the cottages Daisy and Ermintrude. Whilst Ermintrude has been a holiday rental for some years, Daisy was newly listed in 2019. We are hoping that it will be enjoyed just as much as it's sister cottage and we look forward to sharing it with numerous guests in the coming years. We take a huge amount of pride in our cottages, and really enjoy it when we get positive feedback, either online, or in our visitors book, or even both. We have tried to include as much of our knowledge of the local area in this handbook as we can, and we update it regularly. However if there is anything else that you need, or think that we can help you with, then do please ask. The phone number for the main house is: 01726 844007 Jeremy's Mobile number is: 07979 917312 Mel's Mobile number is: 07791 576535 Page 3 Page 4 About Daisy ● Arrival and departure. The cottage will be ready for you from 4pm on your check-in date, but, of course, you can arrive at any time from then on. Please try to give us notice of your intended arrival time via text or email, and we will make sure that, either someone will be there to greet you, or that the gate will be open and the front door unlocked so that you can just go on in and make yourselves at home. On your departure morning we do ask you to vacate the cottage by 10am. Please leave your keys on the table and pull the door closed behind you. If for any reason you leave prior to your originally intended departure date, then do please let us know. ● Bins. There are two dustbins outside next to the garden gate. One is for plastic bags full of normal household waste, and the other is for recyclable items such as bottles, tins, cans, cardboard, plastic containers etc. Please place any such items unbagged in the bin marked RECYCLE, and we will sort them as required for the council rubbish collection. ● Car Parking. Car parking for Daisy cottage is on the other side of Churchtown Farm Barn. The designated space has been marked with a very fine hand painted sign. You are welcome of course to pull in off the road by the main gates to load/unload your vehicle, but please don't leave it there, as that entrance is shared with Ermintrude Cottage. ● Facebook. We have a facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/daisycottage/ for anybody who would like to be kept in touch with events at the cottage, and in the local area, together with numerous photos that may be of interest to people who love the place as much as we do. We even run the occasional competition on there! ● Hanging Baskets and Tubs. We are very much hoping that none of our guests will mind if we occasionally go into the garden at Daisy Cottage to water the hanging baskets and tubs. We will, of course, only do this when you are not at home. ● Heating. The central heating control is in the little wooden box on the wall in the kitchen, right by the toaster. I think it should be fairly self explanatory. We have an external “Combi” boiler, so the hot water should always be left “on” to ensure hot water on demand when the tap is turned. The heating can either be left “On”, “Off” or “Auto” depending on your requirements. In Cornwall we care big time about the planet and recycling and conservation and stuff. Also Mel and I care big time about our heating oil bill so please don't leave it roaring away if you don't actually need it on. If you ever come in of an evening and need just a little blast of heat, push the right hand of the four buttons below the display which is marked “+1hr”, and the heating will go on for just one hour. ● Ice. The fridge, rather annoyingly, does not have an ice compartment, so we have put a small freezer in the garden room which has lots of ice in. ● Television. The television has an Amazon firestick installed, which gives you access to the BBC iplayer, the ITV hub, Netflix, and various other online resources. To use the firestick push the “Source” button on the main TV controller and then toggle to HDMI1. The firestick itself can then be controlled using the smaller of the two remotes. We know you didn't come to Cornwall to watch telly, but, enjoy it anyway! ● Website. As many of you know we are listed on Airbnb and HomeAway, but, also we have developed our own website which can be found at: http://www.daisycottagecornwall.co.uk/ This contains a lot of information about the cottage, St. Ewe, and the surrounding area, and also it can be used to check availability and prices, and even to book the cottage directly with us should you wish to do so. ● Wi-Fi. Wireless Network: Name: Daisy Cottage Password: 123Daisy The broadband is beamed over to Daisy cottage from the main router in our house. Any problems, let me know. ● Windows. We hope that none of our guests will mind if we occasionally go into the garden at Daisy Cottage to wash the outside of the cottage windows. We will, of course, only do this when you are not at home. Page 5 Page 6 Attractions/Day Trips Cornwall is one big attraction in itself and there are far too many potential day trips and attractions to mention, but I thought that I would supply details of some of the ones that we have done in case it is helpful. So just a few ideas in no particular order: Caerhays Castle. This beautiful castle and gardens can be found about ten minutes drive from Daiy nestled in a secluded valley above Porthluney cove. There are various woodland walks around the estate plus a spectacular lake which is teeming with bird-life. Caerhays is particularly renowned for the enormous Camellias, Magnolias and Rhododendrons which flower in the spring. The gardens are open from Mid February to mid June 10am - 5pm 7 days a week, and the castle is open from mid March to mid June Monday to Friday. Falmouth is a beautiful town, and a great place to spend a day. One can drive there via Truro which should take about 50 minutes. However, Truro can get very snarled up with traffic, so a good way to journey there is by driving to St Mawes, which is also a fabulous place, and taking the ferry. The trip lasts about 20 minutes and costs £10 or so for a return ticket. You won't get there quicker than by road but it is a much more pleasant trip. The Eden Project. Over near St. Austell is the world famous Eden project. Built in an old china clay pit it comprises two giant biomes, one of which has a Mediterranean climate, and the other has the largest indoor rainforest in the world. The park is impressive, informative, educational, and a great day out for all the family. Oh...and....at a length of some 660m they have the longest zip wire in England! In fact they now have several adrenelin inducing activities which they run under the title of “Hangloose at Eden” project. I have tried some of their rides, and they are brilliant – if a little pricey. The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Our very own local attraction. Just a mile and a half down the road, the lost gardens of Heligan are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK and are utterly beautiful. Also if you are not in the mood for looking at plants, but do fancy some breakfast, then the cafeteria in the visitors centre starts serving at 9.30 in the morning, and very good it is too! Oh, and you don't have to pay entrance to the gardens to use the restaurant for breakfast or lunch.

As part that is familiar with the life of the fishing community, this phenom- enon is very interesting as well as important to be studied more deeply in the context of the north coast Javanese sub-culture. Based on that, this study aims to explain: (1) the design of fishing boat construction as a representation of the technology system of traditional fishing communities in Jepara, (2) the ecological aspect of the north coast Javanese sub-culture includes the process of creating traditional fishing boat in Jepara communities, and (3) wisdom potential in traditional ship design as learning resources. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study design. The data is collected through interviews, observations and document reviews, and analyzed by using flow mode. The results of the study will provide an empirical explanation of the construction design and boat creation technology in the ecological perspective of the north coast Javanese sub-culture.

    Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Pilsen, Czech Republic, July 23-26, 2019 The Comparison of Characteristics Profile of the Traditional Fishing Boats in Lamongan, Probolinggo, and Pasuruan, Indonesia Yugowati Praharsi, Mohammad Abu Jami’in, Gaguk Suhardjito Shipbuilding Institute of Polytechnic Surabaya (Politeknik Perkapalan Negeri Surabaya) Jl. Teknik Kimia Kampus ITS, Sukolilo 60111, Surabaya, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected] Hui-Ming Wee Chung Yuan Christian University Chung Pei Road No. 200, Chung Li City 32023, Taiwan [email protected] Abstract In this study, we explored the characteristics profile of traditional fishing boats in the three regencies of East Java, Indonesia, namely: Lamongan, Probolinggo, and Pasuruan. We presented the characteristics profiles of traditional fishing boats by using indicators and dimensions of product quality. We found the differences of traditional boats among these three regencies such as the GT size and the hull construction shape. The results showed that the GT size in Lamongan is from 24 to 50 GT sizes on average, whereas in Probolinggo and Pasuruan is below 30 GT ones. The hull shape in Lamongan is uniform with U-shape. Meanwhile, the hull shape in Probolinggo and Pasuruan is varies with U-shape and V-shape. The similarities among these 3 regencies are in the type of fish catching tools, machinery, and equipment. The majority fishermen used trawl automatically for larger than 13 GT sizes and net for below 10 GT sizes. In machinery, inboard system is used by vessels for larger than 13 GT. Meanwhile, the equipment used is standard, such as: lamp, compass, and audio.

  • The Baby Boat Programme

    The Baby Boat Programme

    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 65, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The experience of the boat - the Baby Boat Programme V.Salamon Faculty of Graphic Arts, University of Zagreb, Croatia Abstract The paper presents the showlworkshop "Experience of the Boat" which was established by the NGO Ars Halieutica to be performed for and with the active participation of the local children. The show and the workshops are performed both on the shore and on the water. The show "Ala Falka!" is presented in order to inspire the children to express their new experience of the boat in a painting, a sculpture, a poem etc., in the subsequent art workshops. The idea of the ship and the boat is presented through the story of the two traditional Adriatic boats - the simple trupa from the river Neretva delta and the - more complex fishing boat gajeta falkusa the vessels small enough to present the archetypal essence of the boat in a simple and intimate way. Although structurally elementary but including all the basic features of the boat and the ship, both the trupa and the gajeta are the boats of fascinating functional complexness. According to the Ars Halieutica "Do Touch" principle, the polytechnic heritage and the experience of living with the sea is presented through animation of all senses of the children and other participants of the programme. Taking active part in the events, the children are offered to: touch while building the paper or wooden kit ship and boat models, buildinglassembling the actual trupa and the gajeta falkusa, paddling and rowing and sailing the gajeta and the trupa etc., watch the actual building of the trupa and the gajeta, documentary films on life with the sea, on the sailing of the gajeta falkusa etc., listen to the poetry in native dialect, to the songs and music about the sea, about the boat and the man etc., taste and scent the traditional national food and beverages, aromatic Mediterranean island herbs etc.
