Let's just go with painting our not-1,000 words today, shall we? The picture with the painting responsibilities, below, shows the sea-level business end of Penryn - offices and shops fronting onto the water: there's a copy-writing agency in there, various web designers, yoga, alternative therapy, a bicycle shop, cafe, nursery, scuba-diving supplies and training, outdoor store - and a boat yard. Up at the top of the hill that is Penryn, by the double roundabout, there's the university campus and the innovation centre; they're twinned with other places and very designed - lots of open plan, glass and state-of-the-art technology. Those euro-billions granted for education and development haven't been wasted.
