Inspired by the natural beauty of seaweed, I collect washed up seaweed from the Devon coastline and hand press them into art.

Whilst picking through washed up seaweed at a local beach clean in the South Hams, I was struck with the beauty and diversity of seaweed. It can often be unnoticed and unappreciated for its vital role in sustaining marine ecosystems and carbon capture. It is so much more than a slimy encounter in the sea!

I decided to try pressing some specimens and was astonished by how striking they were on paper. From these original pressings I have created high quality prints using recycled card and compostable packaging, all made in the UK.

I donate a small proportion of profits to ‘Till the Coast is Clear’, a community interest company based in Devon, committed to reducing plastic waste along our South Devon coastline. I also donate to ‘Salt Water Britain’ and ‘Blue Ventures’, both non profit organisations dedicated to marine conservation, both in the UK and abroad.

My focus is on producing high quality prints with the least impact on the environment as possible, and supporting marine conservation.

While we always provide personal care and attention when it comes to the individual residential customer, we are still large enough to deal with sizeable contracts. The bulk of our commercial window cleaning work is for shops, schools, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, nursing homes, leisure centres, colleges and local authorities. We run a professional window cleaning business and customer satisfaction is our main priority. The price we agree with you is for the cleaning of the glass and the window sills.

We will do our very best to come as often as you want us to. To make that possible the windows will be cleaned at the interval agreed upon regardless of the weather. If and when required we can also clean fascia boards and soffits or any difficult to reach plastic cladding using our high reach water fed pole system. Please ask for a quote. We can also clear out your gutters as and when you need them to be done at an extra charge.

Situated in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, Thurlestone is a fantastic location to play golf and tennis.

Running along the stunning coastline of Bigbury Bay, this Harry Colt designed course is a mix of links and cliff-top terrain with the latter providing breath-taking views of the legendary Thurlestone Rock to the East and the beautiful Avon Estuary and Burgh Island to the West.

The course is one of the most exhilarating with majestic rocky seascapes above the coves where smugglers used to operate. It is also ideal holiday golf – not too severe, with quite generous fairways but the wind, of course, can blow with a vengeance.

As well as the challenging golf course, the Clubhouse is second-to-none with its large, main bar as well as a ‘spike’ bar/television room (Showing Sky Sports). Superb meals plus daily specials are available all the year round.

Membership is open to all, if you are interested in joining us, or have any questions, we would like to hear from you. We have the facility to spread your joining fee over a manageable time period of up to 5 years and an affordable monthly direct debit is available for your subscription.

Woodhouse Farm has been home to four generations of the same farming family since 1929. To them, the farm is everything – their home, a business and a way of life. Although many things remain unchanged, the farm has had to evolve to remain an integral and important part of the local rural economy.

Part of that process has been to sensitively convert the original farm buildings into beautiful holiday lets which has not only preserved and enhanced the original structures but allows others, however briefly, to share the slower pace of country life.

In addition to the holiday lets, Woodhouse Farm offers eco camping overlooking the Ria of Kingsbridge and it’s beautiful vistas.
