We like to escape for the week-long May/June Whitsun half term holiday and after not really being able to get away in 2020 because of Covid-19 we decided to explore somewhere we’ve never been before: Scotland! Scotland is a country of two halves – interesting cities juxtaposed with spectacular countryside and scenery – we wanted…
In April 2021 we made our annual Easter holiday trip to Bude in North Cornwall. We were originally supposed to be staying for the full two weeks, spending the first week at our ‘home from home’ The Beach Haven and the second week at The Old Bakery in Bude, which at the time of our…
During the second half of the Easter holidays, as soon as self catering accommodation re-opened post lockdown #3, we made our way to Cornwall to spend some time in our happy place during our favourite season: Spring in Bude. This post covers what we got up to during the last few days of our trip…
Every Easter holidays (with the exception of 2020 of course because of the Covid-19 pandemic) we travel down to Bude in North Cornwall. Spring in Bude is our absolute favourite time of year to visit: we usually get lovely, warm, sunny weather; it’s less busy as the summer season meaning that the beaches are a…
In March 2020, a whole year ago, I attended my first ever ClickAway Photography Conference. ClickAway is an annual photography event run by the brilliant ClickinMoms community and it takes place in a different location in the United States every year. ClickAway 2020 was held in the beautiful city of Atlanta, Georgia. *Please note that…
In October half term, just before Lockdown v2.0 was announced, we were lucky enough to be able to say yes to an unexpected and very much welcomed opportunity to head to our happy place by the sea – Bude in North Cornwall. We’d never spent any part of Autumn in Cornwall before and we were…
We’ve never spent any part of Autumn in Cornwall before, though it’s something we’ve talked a lot about trying one day. Even though we go to Bude every year, we usually prefer to visit during the Easter holidays in April and we have occasionally spent a week there during the summer holidays as well. There’s…
When lockdown first started back in March 2020, we didn’t think we were going to be able to make our much-anticipated, annual Easter trip to Bude happen. Fortunately, when the hospitality and travel industry started opening up a little bit, we were able to snag a week-long stay at our home-from-home, The Beach Haven, and…
We didn’t think we were going to get to go on our annual trip to Bude in North Cornwall this year. We traditionally visit during the Easter holidays in April but, of course, the coronavirus pandemic meant that our eagerly-awaited holiday was cancelled as we were still in the midst of a strict lockdown. As…
We usually visit Bude in North Cornwall every single year – it’s our happy place. We were supposed to be staying at our favourite accommodation – The Beach Haven – during the Easter holidays back in April but then Covid-19 hit, lockdown happened and everything got cancelled. We’re still very much hoping to be able…
