Every Day Is….

….A School Day.
Despite how often as Paddy and I walk in the cemetery I often find new things, sometimes the location of interesting ‘things’ are given away by the “Friends of Falmouth Cemetery” group so a grave with the grass cut around it is always worth a look.

“Charles Napier Hemy, 24 May 1841 – 30 September 1917, was a British genre and marine painter.

He was born to a musical family in Newcastle and moved to London in the 1870s, and in 1881 moved to Falmouth. His best-known works are Pilchards (1897) and London River (1904) which are in the Tate collections.

Hemy was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1898 and an Academician in 1910. He was also honoured as an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1890, and became a full member in 1897.

He died in Falmouth on 30 September 1917.”

Evening gig rowing was good craic, a forty-five minute row followed by an hours worth of chat and banter with people who have become good friends, great way to end the day.
