Dear Pathe,
it was wonderful to find the film of the serpentine rock, even more wonderful to see Vivian Bosustow, I knew him 40 years ago when he had a workshop at Church Cove, The Lizard.
Vivian took me and my Dad out in a boat to show us around the coves near by, also he let my Mum and I sell models of seals and seagulls that we had made in his little shop.
The lamp base we watched him craft for us I still have.
Is the short piece of film the full length or is there more to see ? I would love to watch more.
I am in a way following in Vivian's footsteps, I have always loved serpentine and go to Kynance Cove where Vivian used to go and collect serpentine to make jewellery from.
