Test a Tuffet at Lostwithiel Local Produce Market!

The Travelling Tuffeteer watched on as visitors to the Lostwithiel Local Produce Market  came and rested awhile upon the hard plastic chair, that was turned into a sit upon of  great comfort, as the tuffet was provided in order to have the opportunity to 'bottom' test a range of the deliciously sheepy, eco-friendly rustic 'cushion'. What better place  to buy a christmas gift that is hand-made in Cornwall - the woven wool tuffet that is original, practical, rustic and local?

The Cornish Guild of Smallholders had produced delicious  home-grown vegetables and hot vegetable soup, wonderfully verdant plants, cheeses, chutneys, jams, marmalades, pickles and so much more!!!! Bread, cakes, savouries, free range meat, poultry, eggs, home made sausages, ham, and bacon  were all available for sale at very reasonable prices sold in the wonderful rural atmosphere of the farming community. The CGOS members made me feel very welcome, good cheer and conversation were abundant! The community centre also has it's own cafe where light snacks and hot beverages maybe purchased very reasonably and enjoyed at your leisure.
So on Friday 25th  you too can enjoy this unique market - be there or miss one of the best places in Cornwall to enjoy local produce and have  the chance to find and experience 'bottom heaven', not only for yourself but also for that perfect christmas gift - A Cornish hand-made tuffet............ luxury, sustainability and also suitable for vegetarian use!!

Lowender Peran review!

The Tuffeteer had a grand array of deliciously sheepy tuffets on display throughout the weekend. There was a steady background dialogue of 'oohs' and 'ahhhs' as many a festival goer lowered their derrieres into a state of bottom heaven whilst perched on a three legged milking stool!! Tuffets are travelling, even as I write, as far afield as the Lizard and beyond to the Carribean! The Tuffeteer's wool tuffets were evident around the festival as a local harpist enjoyed the perfect combination of relaxing tunes and relaxing sheepy comfort!

Although the tuffet is renowned for it's delightful sustainable comfort whilst in the sitting pose, the benefits of warmth and soothing relaxing qualities have reached new heights - as the new head piece - cheaper than your average wig, definately a 'baaa'gain and viewed below - a chinstrap of the finest string may be added to enable the wearing in stormy conditions!!!

The festival was superb, excellent bands and workshops, celidhs to keep you reeling all night long from all celtic nations. The highlight for me was the very exciting young Cornish Launceston band, The Crowns, playing full on  punked-up folk, taking traditional folk tunes and rearranging to their own unique and vibrant style. The dance floor was full, young and old alike all aleaping to the driving rhythms - many a wet shirt went out that night!
The Tuffeteer can sleep well knowing that many folk from the celtic nations have now had the opportunity to  buy a  tuffet and enjoy the well deserved deliciously sheepy and rustic bottom heaven experience in the comfort of their own worlds!
