This post was written after a night out in the ‘Ye Olde Fisherman’s Arms‘ in Looe last Saturday…

Many years ago I sat in a cosy little restaurant in northern France.
It was a dimly lit room with a few scattered tables covered in green tablecloths and silk flowers. Your average café in a quiet town in France!
Strip lights glared relentlessly down and I remained hidden from the outside world by ancient yellowing net curtains and an assortment of dying pot plants. I was safe, nobody knew who I was.
As I enjoyed my meal, I can’t remember what it was now, I got talking to the couple on the next table. It was a polite but humorous conversation about life, travelling and French cuisine. If you’ve ever been travelling, you’ll know what I mean.
The conversation eventually came round to the inevitable ‘What do you do?’ and I said ‘Why don’t you guess’? This led to a 10 second silence before the woman in the couple said ‘I think you’re a graphic designer’! » Click here to read the rest of this article
New Year’s Eve is today!
Time seems to fly and so here we are again on possibly the most exciting day in the Looe festive calendar.
3rd best place to be on New Year’s Eve in the UK
Officially the 3rd best place in the UK to be on New Year’s Eve and THE best place to be on New Year’s Eve in Cornwall.
Below are a few photos to remind you why it’s so much fun and why you should be here if you’re not already. Also, I’d love to know what you think of the evening and what fancy dress costume you’re wearing this year. I’ve seen everything from a herd of cows to about a dozen guys all dressed up in wedding gowns!
Fireworks on the Banjo Pier
The Looe firework display is on and with all the money raised should be a real crowd pleaser. Be down on the beach at 11.50pm for the display at midnight. Thanks to Michala and the team for their hard work and for everyone who donated so generously to the firework fund.
If you see someone shaking a bucket tomorrow night, don’t be shy, chuck them your loose change for next year’s display. As Tesco say, ‘Every Little Helps’ – topical eh!
Have fun
Also, if you’re coming into Looe for the first time you might want to read New Year’s Eve in Looe – 10 Rules for a good night out.
Have fun and see you in town – I’m the one with a camera – haha.

Ho, ho, ho!
Here is my Christmas Mistletoe Quiz which I thought you might like to take to your works do, or home for games and silly japes throughout the Christmas season.
The quiz tests how much you know about mistletoe and will help everyone who has a go, discover whether they’re ‘Peckers’, ‘Kissers’ or ‘Smoochers’.
Intriguing?
It’s a ‘sharebie’
The quiz is a ‘sharebie’ which means feel free to share it around with all your friends and family.
Download, print out and take it with you wherever you go as there’s some ‘Emergency Mistletoe’ for you to cut out if you don’t have any to hand
Anyway, hope you like it.
Roll on Christmas.
Cheers
Chris

It’s finally here!
The first and only mobile phone App dedicated to our lovely, picturesque Cornish fishing town of Looe and it’s called the iLoveLooe App.

Yep, the iLoveLooe App is completely free to download and always will be.
