The knocker is a being from cornish folklore which haunts mineshafts, tapping on the walls to warn miners of impending collapses. In other folklore, however, it is the very being that causes these cave-ins.

🌿🔥🌿Cornish charm to heal burns...
Float 9 bramble leaves in water from a holy well, pass each leaf over the burn saying:
There came 3 angels out of the east,
1 brought fire & 2 brought frost.
Out fire & in frost,
In the Name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost.

That weird glowy orb in the sky makes us long for a day at the Cornish coast.

At least we have Cornish Coast by Christine Hughes, from the collection at and that's kind of the same thing... right?

I’m a big fan of Norman Cornish, who included washing lines in many of his paintings. I particularly like ‘Wash Day’, where the drying ground is also used to graze a horse while children and their dog play on it. Fantastic art and social history. (Private Collection)
