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…
I almost feel sad to be writing this post as it’s the final instalment in my series from our big trip to the USA earlier this year. We had such a fantastic time together investigating what Boston had to offer over the course of almost a week (you can read all about what we got…
Back in May half term we took our ‘big trip’ for the year. We try and alternate between exploring more of Europe and venturing a bit further afield because I’m determined to show our girls just what an awesomely diverse and beautiful world we live in. Last year (2018) we visited stunning Lake Maggiore in…
As I write this, it’s pouring with rain outside, the girls are snuggled up under a blanket on the sofa watching a film and it feels more like mid-November than mid-August. It’s hard to believe that a whole season has been and gone since we arrived home from our family adventure in Boston at the…
Writing this, wistfully remembering our family adventure in Boston in May half term, got me thinking back about our holidays over the years. When the girls were small, we couldn’t afford to travel. My therapy business was still in the very early stages as I emerged from maternity leave with three babies aged 3 and…
A couple of weeks ago I shared Part One of our family holiday to Bude, documenting the first half of our adventures in our happy place by the sea. This post, Part Two, covers the second half of our family holiday to Bude, including the bonus days we were lucky enough to be gifted by…
Our annual, much-loved, family holiday to Bude in Cornwall during the Easter holidays feels like forever ago. Life has been so busy since then that it’s taken me two whole months to be able to create the time to sit down and write these travel diaries. Looking through all the photographs and thinking back over…
