In June this year the Porthleven bag made a visit to the historic town of Oxford and had a look at the sites and old buildings, this picture was taken outside the famous Christchurch College.

Lewis Hamilton wins as the bag watches on
This time the bag was seen watching the great win of Lewis Hamilton at the 2008 British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone, as you may have heard this was the penultimate time at Silverstone as in 2010 it will move to Donnington Park in Derby.
Track the Bag!!!
Porthleven's re-usable shopping bag is going round the world!!
Jona Jones and myself, (Julia Schofield) originally designed the shopping bag to try to reduce this little Cornish Fishing Villages dependence on plastic. We hoped people would use it for shopping, picnics and going to the beach. Now we know people are sending them to friends and relatives round the world as well.
We heard a story the other day of a visitor who took a bag back home to Ireland. When she took it into work a colleagure exclaimed "That's where I was born!" Already we know one's been to the Grand Prix, and another's been sighted near Sydney Opera House. Four have gone to Canada to Cornish Expats.
The image on the bag shows the famous Bickford Smith Institute, known in the village as The Town Clock. (People mistake the landmark for a church though it was built philanthropicallly as a Reading Room). Bay View Terrace is in the background with Budgie's boat sailing out of the harbour (- though we don't think Budgie's recognised it).
It's Lifeboat Day in Porthleven this Sunday. I think we may need a second order! Julia.
Our First Posting & Sighting
Dear visitors to the Porthleven "where in the World" is our bag blog site.
The idea of this site is to have some fun with an eco. friendly bag that has been design in, and is sold in Porthleven, Cornwall with the aim being for people to email us with their pictures of our bags from around the world.
An example is from my recent trip to Wyoming (thats the Teton Mountains in the background).
If you have some images then please email them to the bagblog team please include a story with it and we will upload it to our blog.
