This most recent week seems to have both lasted forever and zoomed by super quickly. It’s been a mixture of lovely slow days and crazy busy days – I’m still working on finding that ever elusive balance! We’ve been home from Cornwall for a month now already and our little holiday in Bude feels like it was forever ago. It’s quite…
If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that we visit Bude in North Cornwall every year and this year was no different – we spent the first week of the Easter holidays there. Whenever we go we make sure that we fulfill certain traditions (like having an ice cream every day) and do…
Gosh this month seems to have zoomed by… again! I feel like I say it in pretty much every post I write (and to be fair I probably do), but I just don’t know where this year is disappearing to. April was a month of sunshine, family time and plenty of treats – it’s been…
We crawled towards the end of the Spring term tired, emotional and run down. All of us were so very ready for a break from school, work and the day-to-day routine and being able to spend the first week of the Easter holidays in Bude in Cornwall was exactly what we needed. There will be…
Twenty sixteen has been a tough year for many. It’s also been an awesome year for many. To be fair, I think most years are both tough and awesome one way or another, with a whole lot of ordinary, mediocre stuff in between. It would be a very rare thing to come across someone who had…
One Sunday a few weeks ago we were at a bit of a loss as to what to do. We’d exhausted pretty much everything on our Summer Bucket List (which was relatively short anyway as I wanted a slower, more simple summer than the usual mad-busy craziness that I normally create by packing as much…
Wanderlust: “a strong, innate desire to travel” I had the realisation recently that my husband and I approach holidays in completely opposite ways. After twelve years together you’d have thought I’d have picked up on this before now! At the end of July we had a wonderful week in Jersey with our three girls – exploring,…
Four years ago, the day after my 29th birthday, I began a ’30 Things Before I’m 30′ project. I gave myself just twelve months to complete thirty things on a list I’d created which contained a pretty random mixture of experiences I wanted to have, things I wanted to try and personal goals I wanted to achieve by…
This is the third and final installment of our week-long holiday in Bude in North Cornwall, covering the second half of our stay at The Beach Haven and detailing the things we got up to. You can find part one here and part two of the blog here. We’ve been home for nearly two weeks…
This is the second part of the blog about our week on holiday in Bude in North Cornwall. We did so many fun things (and I took sooooo many photos!) that this post only covers the first half of the week. There’ll be another (third and final) post covering the second half of our week coming…
