This image was made on the harbour wall at Mouseholoe, and reminded me of the children's' story by Antonia Barber about a cat called Mowser, who with his master Tom Bawcock braved a storm to catch fish to feed the starving people of Mousehole. Whilst Tom fished the cat purred to sooth the storm and on returning to the protection of Mousehole harbour, Tom cooked the entire catch into a Stargazy Pie and fed the people.

For many years, long before the book was written, the people of Mousehole celebrate Tom Bawcock's Eve which takes place on 23rd December and when Stargazy pie is traditionally served
