Folnamodry, which means 'Aunt's Folly' in Cornish, is a restful retreat nestled in the historical village of Madron. Folnamodry is an exquisitely decorated, two bedroom property, with a minimal approach to the design of the furnishings, so as to enhance the exposed granite features and the oak timber flooring. The property provides a comfortable, light and airy environment for a relaxing break, where you can unwind and recharge your batteries.
Warm up from your day's explorations with a glass of wine watching the dancing flames of the woodburner. There is a cook-friendly kitchen with a stable door enabling you to watch village life, while the adjoining garden provides herbs and fruit for the cook. Dogs are most welcome, so your canine family member can also enjoy a wonderful Cornish holiday. Start the day beneath the apple blossoms, indulging in an al fresco breakfast of Cornish buttered toast and coffee. The driveway provides ample parking space, but if you want to avoid the crowds in nearby popular tourist spots during the peak holiday period, there is a bus service at the bottom of the driveway. Madron village is located 5 minutes from Penzance, where you catch the regular mainline and local train services, as well as the Scillonian III link to the Isles of Scilly. Folnamodry offers elevated views over Mount's Bay and easy access to the North and South coasts as well as the West Penwith moors.

Mrs Crockford July 2020
The cottage was in a lovely location in a small village only 15 minutes from A lovely beach opposite st Michael Mount. A great base to see so much of Cornwall.
The cottage was a hide Standard and very clean and comfortable. The small garden outside was really nice as well.
The driveway is a bit tight if you have a large vehicle but we got used to just reversing out to the main road.
We had a couple of negatives, like the shower is not great if you are tall and the water pressure was a bit weak. I like my TV in the bedroom and this was a miss at the cottage but it's not really a negative is just people's preferences.
I would also recommend using aspects holidays. Great company and very supportive up to the day you arrive and willing to help during the stay.
Overall great cottage in a nice village location.

With many superb beaches to enjoy, including five with the coveted Blue Flag status, it is easy to see why so many people associate this part of the world with sun, sea, sand and, of course, surf. There is, however, so much more on offer when contemplating self catering holidays in West Cornwall.
West Cornwall is home to popular destinations such as Marazion, Penzance, Carbis Bay and St Ives, which are all worth a visit. From the iconic St Michael's Mount to the breath taking Minack Theatre as featured in our blog, you wont be short of things to do while self catering in West Cornwall.
Famous for its quality of light, the area has long been a haven for artists and there are many galleries to be found wherever you go. There are also many gardens to enjoy; the mild climate will often let plants flourish here which you won't find anywhere else in the country. For those wanting to dig a little deeper, there is also an amazing mining and maritime heritage which has done much to shape the county and its people as well as, it could be argued, the rest of the world.
Days out
With such an abundance of stunning sights in West Cornwall, you'll be spoilt for choice when choosing where to visit while holidaying here. St Michael's Mount, The Minack Theatre, and St Ives harbour are just a few of the enthralling places on offer. The many golden sandy beaches that West Cornwall boasts are perfect for topping up the tan. For something a little more energetic, boat trips, fishing excursions and water sports are available. Museums and art galleries provide an equally enjoyable day out, with world famous exhibitions at the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth museum within easy reach.
With the bustling coastal towns of St Ives, Mousehole and Marazion within close proximity of one another, you can be sure to find somewhere to provide everything you need to the perfect family day out.
Cornwall's spectacular scenery provides the perfect backdrop for exploring. The coastal paths which hug the rugged cliffs offer breath taking sea views, while walking inland you can enjoy the many nature reserves, ancient stone circles and woodland, for which Cornwall is renowned.

Gool Perran Lowen - Happy St Piran's Day in Cornish!
St Piran's Day, celebrated on March 5th, is the national day of Cornwall, named after one of Cornwall's patron saints.

Today, Cornwall still celebrates his heritage. On the closest Sunday to St Piran's day, Perranorth hosts one of the largest St Piran's celebrations. Held at the dunes on Perranporth, a play is performed to re-enact St Piran's life. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged to dress in black, white and gold, the colours of Cornwall.

Wonderful cottage with excellent access to so many stunning beaches and attractions. Highly recommended.
Mrs Crockford 5 days ago
The cottage was in a lovely location in a small village only 15 minutes from A lovely beach opposite st Michael Mount. A great base to see so much of Cornwall.
The cottage was a hide Standard and very clean and comfortable. The small garden outside was really nice as well.
The driveway is a bit tight if you have a large vehicle but we got used to just reversing out to the main road.
We had a couple of negatives, like the shower is not great if you are tall and the water pressure was a bit weak. I like my TV in the bedroom and this was a miss at the cottage but it's not really a negative is just people's preferences.
I would also recommend using aspects holidays. Great company and very supportive up to the day you arrive and willing to help during the stay.
Overall great cottage in a nice village location.

Lovely village location, ideal for walks to local heritage sites. Village pub within a very short walk, which has a lovely friendly atmosphere. We would highly recommend a stay at Folnamodry; and will definitely be going back
Mr Nisbet Sep 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Folnamodry. The property is tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable and roomy for four guests, very well equipped for our stay. It also has a beautiful garden we were able to sit out to eat on sunny evenings and the location is quiet and peaceful. A bus stop just opposite is handy as an alternative to travel into the town. The extra touches were welcome on arrival (milk, tea coffee etc). We would definitely recommend this property and Aspects holidays.
Mrs Coates Sep 2019
Beautifully decorated cottage with great facilities in a good location for exploring West Cornwall. Lots of nice touches around the property and the owners had thought of everything - well-equipped kitchen, plenty of crockery, lots of towels and super-comfy beds. We will definitely book again!

High Quality Delivery Boxes
Delivery boxes are so much more than just a means of delivering products to a customer. They are part of the products you deliver to your customers. A strong, durable, high-quality delivery box tells the recipient that you care about your customers and the quality of service they receive.
Sturdy delivery boxes also protect the products you are sending which can ensure repeat orders. As a market-leading packaging specialist, we understand and appreciate this, which is why our delivery boxes are built to be durable enough to withstand the strains of the shipping process, protecting your products and your brand.
We provide a huge range of kraft brown and white delivery boxes with sizes to suit all business types and products. Alongside our rigid 2-piece delivery boxes, we also offer flat-pack delivery boxes to help you save space when storing your packaging. Both are sturdy, strong and durable.
Our kraft boxes have a luxe matt paper finish which is soft to the touch and gives your delivery boxes a more gifty feel. We can also print your logo and branding to personalise your delivery boxes, helping you to stand out from your competitors and give the perfect first impression to your customers. We can do this for relatively short runs too, so if you are a small business or are just starting to offer delivery, we can accommodate your delivery box printing needs.
Ecommerce Delivery Boxes
Ecommerce delivery boxes need to be strong, durable, and high quality enough to impress customers, while being affordable and simple to use so your shipping process can be smooth and efficient. The experts at Tiny Box Company have perfected our range of ecommerce delivery boxes to give you the perfect combination of strength, beauty, affordability and ease-of-use.
We are the UK's one-stop-shop for ecommerce delivery boxes and packaging accessories. We can provide everything you need to run an efficient delivery service regardless of the types of products you sell or the size of your business. We work with multinational companies and startups, household name brands and home craft businesses. Whether you are delivering clothes, food, jewellery, delicate items, bulky products or anything else, you'll find everything you need at the Tiny Box Company!
Eco-friendly ecommerce delivery boxes
We are specialists in eco-friendly ecommerce delivery boxes and packaging. Your consumers have never been more concerned with the eco-friendliness of their suppliers and no other packaging company does more to improve the eco-credentials of ecommerce packaging than us. Our delivery boxes are 77% recycled by weight and we also offer ranges of recycled ribbon and packaging accessories. We strive to offer the best packaging and shipping solutions for eco-conscious brands.
No minimum order for mailing boxes
Unlike most other packaging companies, we have no minimum order for UK delivery of mailing boxes. We're proud to support the growing UK ecommerce market and we understand that small businesses and startups may only need a few mailing boxes to begin with. If you are just starting out or trialling online retail for the first time, then you don't have to buy hundreds of delivery boxes from us at a time. Simply buy as many as you need and we're confident you will want to come back for more!
If you would like your branding printed on your delivery boxes, we do ask for a minimum run of just 50 boxes.
Delivery boxes for Etsy, eBay and Amazon sellers
We come highly recommended as suppliers of delivery boxes for sellers on Etsy, eBay and Amazon. With no minimum order on our beautiful kraft boxes, you can be certain your shipping needs will be met with an affordable, reliable solution from Tiny Box Company.
If you are just starting out as an Etsy seller, have just opened your eBay store or have recently started selling through Amazon, we understand that shipping can be confusing. Please feel free to contact our experts for advice.
Cardboard Boxes & Packaging Accessories
Our cardboard boxes are ideal for shipping, packaging or storage and we offer a full range of accessories to make sure you can get everything you need from one place, including glue dots, tape, raffia, pouches, gift bags and ribbon.
Choosing the right cardboard delivery boxes
Not sure which cardboard boxes you need? If you're unsure about how to pick the best cardboard boxes for your requirements, here are the main things to consider:
Size & Space
This seems obvious but you do need to make sure that your products will fit easily within your chosen cardboard boxes without too much spare room. Remember that the walls of the box will take up some space so it's the size of the inside of the cardboard box which matters. Also, don't forget to factor in the packaging as this can take up additional space.
Delivery boxes can take some abuse on their journey while they are being shipped! While customers do understand that sometimes boxes can be damaged during delivery, they usually point the finger at the seller as much as at the postman when their products arrive broken. Your cardboard boxes need to be resilient enough to protect your brand and ensure customer satisfaction.
Kraft delivery boxes can be used to make packages look more crafty, gifty, rustic or personalised. White delivery boxes can look clean, crisp and professional and often create the best contrast for branding to stand out. Black delivery boxes can look more luxurious. We have cardboard boxes in a range of colours.
We certainly hope you can sell enough that you quickly use up all of your packaging stock, but the reality is you'll still need to store some of your delivery boxes while you take orders and process them. Flatpack delivery boxes can be a great idea for easy storage, but they can take longer to ship if you are processing a very high volume of orders.
Our team of packaging experts are waiting to answer your questions. Tell us about your products and shipping process and we'll happily offer guidance around the best cardboard delivery boxes and packaging to suit your needs.

Pipeline operator MarkWest Energy Partners L.P. ( MWE ) has priced a public offering of 8,500,000 common units at $46.50 a piece, with a 30-day over-allotment option for an additional 1,275,000 units.
The gathering and processing master limited partnership (MLP) plans to use the net proceeds from this offering - expected to be approximately $380.2 million after the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses - to finance capital expenditures associated with pipeline construction projects and for general partnership purposes.
Denver, Colorado-based MarkWest Energy is engaged in the gathering, processing and transmission of natural gas, transportation, fractionation and storage of natural gas liquids (NGLs), and the gathering and transportation of crude oil.
MarkWest currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating). We are also maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on the unit.
MarkWest owns a high-quality and diverse portfolio of midstream assets that generate stable and recurring revenues based on long-term fee-based contracts. Over the last few years, the partnership has consolidated its position in the midstream business, achieved through a combination of organic efforts and accretive acquisitions.
With its proven track record of supporting producers in the development of shale plays, MarkWest is in a great position to participate in an infrastructure upgrade that will be required for the development of the leasehold assets.
We believe MarkWest's recent buyout of The Energy & Minerals Group's 49% interest in the Marcellus shale joint venture project will be immediately accretive to earnings and cash flows. Both the firms have also agreed to create a new midstream joint venture in eastern Ohio's Utica shale in 2012, a play with considerable potential that is expected to see a ramp-up in oil and natural gas liquids production.
In 2010, MarkWest teamed up with another MLP, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. ( SXL ), to build a distribution system to transport ethane produced in the Marcellus Shale Basin (in Northeastern U.S.) to markets along the Gulf Coast.
We believe that the initiative, known as the 'Mariner Project,' offers several benefits. The project has not only helped MarkWest to profit from the direct opportunity of capturing demand for ethane takeaway capacity at Marcellus, but it also supports higher gathering system volumes and ethane production.
Lastly, we appreciate MarkWest's steady improvement in its liquidity/cash flow position and its impressive payout track record. With more than 200% distribution growth since the IPO in May 2002, we are confident of the partnership's total return potential.
However, we think the current valuation is fair and adequately reflects the partnership's growth prospects.
First of all, gathering and processing MLPs, like MarkWest, are more sensitive to commodity prices compared to other MLP subgroups. As a result, falling energy prices adversely impact their cash flow stability.
MarkWest's non-fee-based keep-whole and percentage-of-liquids basis contracts for its midstream assets - which make up more than 60% of its net operating margin - also expose the partnership to commodity price risk. This is expected to further limit its ability to generate positive earnings surprises.
As a result, our long-term total return expectation for MarkWest remains rather muted. We do not see any significant price upside for the units over the next few quarters and expect the partnership to grow at a somewhat more conservative and sustainable pace.

The War on He
I was reasonably confident we had this whole gender inequality thing licked, until I fathered a girl. I mean, I was aware things were not perfect. I worked in corporate-land; women were clearly held to different standards than men. But still: close enough, I thought. In the grand scheme, there were bigger problems.
Now I realize the smallest hint of sex discrimination is A GLOBAL CONSPIRACY TARGETING MY DAUGHTER. And it's everywhere. Why is every animal assumed to be male? Why is "he" used interchangeably with "it" in a great swathe of children's picture books? I'll tell you why: because male is the default setting for everything, unless it's soft and pink. Or a cat. I'm not sure why cats are the exception. But everything else is "he."
I realized this was a problem when Fin began naming her teddies. I don't mind her having boy teddies. Boy teddies are fine, in limited quantities. But she thought almost all of them were all boy teddies. That didn't seem right. I realized I was doing that thing: using "he" as default. I had imprinted her.
So I switched defaults. It's a simple rule: you assume that everything is female unless there's clear evidence to the contrary. Animals, teddies, unseen car drivers: all girls. It proved surprisingly difficult. I've been doing it about a year and I still sometimes slip up.
I also began converting Fin's teddies. Now, possibly I'm teaching her that boys sometimes spontaneously turn into girls. But I had to do something about that men's club. She's picked up on it: many of them now waver between male and female, according to Fin, and a few I think I've turned completely.
Just the other day we saw a dog in the street and Fin asked if it was a boy or a girl. I asked what she thought. "I think it's a girl," she said. That was new.
That's why all my examples now are going to be "she." I used to try to mix it up: a "he" example here, a "she" example there. To, you know, be balanced. But now I realize the world is full of "he." I don't need to add any more.
Next I plan to father an illegitimate child with a Kenyan and discover we still haven't solved racism.
P.S. Last day of Movember! I'm so happy; I finally get to shave off this monstrosity. Look at me! I'm a broken man.
