Missing these magical views 🏖
.
I've written a blog post about the first half of our little break in Bude so if you fancy seeing lots more photos and finding out what we got up to, head for the link in my bio.
.
I hope you're all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend so far. We've been out looking for blossom 🌸, bought some clothes (the girls have grown like wildflowers over this most recent lockdown and needed pretty much an entire new wardrobe each 😳) and have zero plans for tomorrow as it's supposed to rain all day 🌧🙄.
.
What have you been up to?

Anyone else as excited as my little bookworm that libraries are back open again? 📚 🐛
.
This was last weekend's haul - a record 21 books (one is missing from the pile because she'd already started it!).
.
I'm a few chapters into 'The Starless Sea' by @erinmorgenstern (who wrote 'The Night Circus' which I absolutely loved). I'm already utterly captivated by it and have my nose buried in it at every available opportunity.
.
What are you reading at the moment? It's my birthday next month and I'd love to add some books to my wishlist - any recommendations?
.
I hope you've all had a good Friday and that you're looking forward to the weekend, whatever you have planned. (And isn't it lovely to finally be able to say that we have plans?! 🙌)

I had an entirely different vision for a photo using these daisies and dandelions but she had other ideas that she thought would work better.

She was right 😌🌼

An evening walk to the sea to watch the sunset became a solo nightly ritual for me whilst we were in Cornwall and it's something I've been longing for ever since we arrived home.
.
There is something truly magical and soul-soothing about this place 💫

My brave girl 💫
.
A year ago this one had surgery to remove a (thankfully benign) tumour called a 'pilomatricoma' from her arm. The operation had been cancelled twice at very short notice due to the pandemic and it was finally performed whilst she was wide awake, squeezing my hand tightly for reassurance. They couldn't do it under general anaesthetic as they needed the beds for covid patients.
.
Fast forward to now and this year she's on crutches instead! She badly sprained her foot whilst playing in the sand dunes in Cornwall last week and still can't walk on it.
.
Throughout it all she's kept a smile on her face and has only had an occasional wobble. It still astonishes me how resilient and adaptable children are - she's whizzing around on her crutches like a pro, the scar on her arm is healing nicely and, as time goes on, it'll all just become a part of her story.

Home from a shorter-than-usual trip with salty hai

Home from a shorter-than-usual trip with salty hair, sandy feet and happy hearts.
.
We stayed somewhere different this time and it was fab - the beach, the shops and (most importantly) the ice cream parlour 🍦were all within a two minute stroll.
.
Multiple flavours were tried out, with Jaffa Cake, Marshmallow Mudslide, Millionaire's Shortbread and Birthday Cake voted as the overall winners by the girls.
.
What's your favourite flavour?
.
(Mine is double chocolate, always 😋)
