I grew up in the tropics, in a small group of islands called Vanuatu in the Pacific. Bird of Paradise flowers were commonplace there, but in the UK people grow Strelitzia in their hothouses. In the warm climate of Cornwall where I live now, the plants are moved outdoors during the summer months. I met an older couple in Newquay recently who had 30 plants, which started off as a tiny cutting from her mother. This design originally started off as a bespoke request from one of my regular customers, who was looking for a tropical feel to her lounge, and it is rapidly becoming one of my best sellers.
Please specify if you would like the Teal or Blue background.
A hypoallergenic pad is included in the price.

My illustrations are inspired by my family’s bellyboarding heritage. My grandparents both grew up in Perranporth in Cornwall, and my grandmother’s family started surfing and making wooden boards after the First World War. I remember my great Uncle Arthur taking his wooden belly board down to the beach at Perranporth when he was well into his 70s!
The World Bellyboard Championships are organised by the National Trust and take place in Cornwall each year in September. No wetsuits are allowed and prizes are won for the best outfits, which involve a lot of flowery hats, fifties swimsuits and all in one knitted stripey costumes for the men which sag upon contact with water.
I went to boarding school in Cornwall, and during half term holidays my Granny Tamblyn would occupy my brothers and me by showing us her family albums of photos taken on the beach, pointing out the faces and names of gangs of cousins, great uncles, aunties once removed (whatever that means) near the beach huts that no longer exist, from summers long, long ago. I’ve got a lovely photo of my grandparents dressed up in their woollen swimsuits.
