Out of the Office

Sorry for the lack of blogging but lovely BM and I decided to take a last minute break and go to Tunisia :)

Blackberry and Elderflower Pimms

This was how i spent my bank holiday weekend - Blackberry and Elderflower Pimms with strawberries and mint - y-u-m!

Holiday :)

My holiday was amazing :)

Back now though so normal blogging service will resume!

Service temporarily suspended....

I'm having a little break so no blogging for me for a little while, normal service will resume sometime next month :)

St Agnes and Chapel Porth

My friend's family lives in St Agnes, a gorgeous little village on the west cost of Cornwall, so this years holiday was St Agnes Carnival! (Think Rio but Cornish and on a minimal budget!!) Its such a lovely place and everyone was so friendly (not always the way in tourist towns and villages in my experience!). Carnival was amazing, lots of olympic and jubilee themed floats, snow machines, penguins, Nora Battys, beauty queens in car boots, men dressed as women and at least 3 brass bands! A-mazing!



After the excitement of Carnival on saturday we walked to Chapel Porth beach on the sunday. Its the most beautiful coastline around there, full of tin mine ruins and coves and beaches and bright purple heath land - totally gorgeous. Although walking isnt my favourite pastime (i grew up on a farm and walked a lot so i just dont see it as recreation anymore!) i'll walk for a view like this!

Dont you love holidays :)

Day 1 - tent up, sit in chair, realise i have a perfect little view of the sea between other tents - good times :)
I'm not a fan of camping, caravans yes, but tents no, but i got persuaded into this camping trip by my friends and (now im home and lying in my cosy bed!) im very pleased i went. The weather wasnt that good but the tent actually stayed dry inside - very unlike my childhood memories of camping! We stayed in such a beautiful area and had so much fun that lovely BM might even be able to convince me to do it again.... (emphasise on the might!)
No making done at all so it'll just be more holiday pics this week :)

Devon Views

Lovely BM and I (and about 20 others - it was a weekend long birthday party!) spent last weekend in Devon (Hope Cove, near Salcombe for the locals) and it was spectacularly beautiful so i thought id share some photos of the view from our doorstep - happy times!
