Every time I come to write one of these posts I find myself exclaiming at how quickly the time has gone and how busy we’ve been recently. I think I need to accept that it’s just the season of life that we’re in right now. Life is busy. Time passes. It’s important to make the…
Every year, we have a week-long family holiday in Bude in North Cornwall. This post is all about the second half of the adventures we had there during the Easter holidays. You can read Part One here. TUESDAY We awoke to rain, resulting in a much-needed lazy morning after a busy couple of days of…
At the start of January I began a new year-long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to remember. The project is being hosted by Sarah…
Bude is incredibly well positioned at the gateway to North Cornwall, providing easy access to a vast number of beautiful locations both further down the coast and inland. We love using The Beach Haven in Bude as our base for a week and tend to go on a fair few day trips where we venture…

It’s been a busy ten days full of the usual sports events, school and work routine, plus the slightly more unusual occurrences of late night theatre performances, being interviewed and saying yes to meeting up with online friends in real life.

Anyone who gets to know us as a family quickly realises that Bude in North Cornwall is our happy place. We visit every year without fail and it never gets old. Our week-long trip is usually filled with a variety of favourite excursions: windswept walks along the beach, digging our toes into the sand, jumping…
As an only child, I spent plenty of one-to-one time with my Mum: we’d visit my Nana and Grandad on Sundays; go and stay with my aunt and cousins in Cornwall during school holidays; we baked together; she’d ferry me around to horse riding, gymnastics and art lessons; as well as being there every day…
