For
their second November opening, visitors to the Memory Cafe welcomed back the
well-known environmentalist, photographer and author David Chapman. Dressed in one of his famous woolly jumpers
David’s presentation was based around his latest book ‘Where to Watch Wildlife in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly’. David’s photographs focussed on some of
the many rare flora and fauna to be found in our beautiful county, and some of
the changes he has been aware of over the last twelve years – for better and
for worse! If David’s wonderful slide-show and talk are anything to go by, this
volume, which is hot off the press, will be a fascinating read and make an
excellent Christmas present for anyone with an interest in the wonderful
Cornish sea and landscape.
Following
a delicious tea served by our friendly refreshments’ volunteers there was a chance to peruse a
selection of David’s publications, or to have a look at an amazing range of
board and table games on our ‘Games are Fun!’ display. In addition to playing cards, draughts, ludo
and dominoes, there were such familiar games as ‘Snakes and Ladders’, Happy
Families, Snap, Connect 4 and Fishing.
As tea-time drew to a close there was a chance to choose a game and have a go, or time to have a chat with friends around the table.
