I feel a bit iffy about writing these posts as it can feel like I'm setting myself up for failure. I only ticked off three of last year's items, so a fair few have been carried over to this year. If you read my latest bullet journal post, you will already have a sneak peek… Continue reading My 2018 summer bucket list
Now that another half-term is behind us and summer is inching ever closer, I've got to thinking about things I want to do this summer in Cornwall - in particular fun and affordable things we can do as a family. Here's what I've come up with. 1. Visit the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens. Taking Jenson anywhere… Continue reading Summer bucket list 2017
This week I have family visiting from over the bridge - the perfect excuse to get out and be a tourist! Yesterday we went to The Eden Project to have a nose around - and check out the dinosaurs! The ones hiding out at Paradise Park at the moment are pretty cool but Eden's promised… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: The Eden Project – Dinosaurs Unleashed!
We did it! We finally went up to the castle! It only took me 26 and a half years of living in Cornwall to do it but I've finally ticked that box - and crossed another item off the summer bucket list. We got the bus to Long Rock and walked over to Marazion. The… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: St Michael’s Mount and lunch at the Chapel Rock Cafe
I can remember going to an amazing beach when I was younger, about 12 or so (so we're talking a good 14 years ago). It was the kind of beach that you saw on holiday programmes, with golden sand and perfectly clear water - definitely not the kind of place you think you'd find in… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Nanjizal Beach
I'm amazed by how much I've done so far this year, even before the end of June. I didn't manage half of this last year and I only went to the beach once. I'm not sure if the weather has been better or if we've just made more of an effort but it has been… Continue reading My summer bucket list (2014)
My grandad is buried in Paul so whenever I pop up to say hi with my mum during the summer, we tend to make a day of it and walk down into Mousehole. It's a gorgeous village which gets really busy with tourists in the summer and locals at Christmas (the lights are the best… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Coastal walk through Mousehole and Newlyn with lunch at the Rock Pool Cafe
It was the boyfriend's birthday on Friday and gorgeous weather so we made the most of our time together in the sunshine - by going for an epic walk! We got the bus to St Ives for a quick wander through the town before heading off on a coastal walk. I've always said I wouldn't want… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: St Ives coastal walk and lunch at The Lifeboat Inn
I'm determined to make the most of summer this year so whenever the boyfriend and I have a day together (and it's not raining!) we're off exploring! Yesterday we got the bus to Falmouth and the boat over to St Mawes to have a wander around the castle. Our days out are somewhat restricted as… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Boat trip to St Mawes
Hello four days of freedom! The weather app reckons it's gonna be four days of rain but I won't let that kill my buzz. Especially as it started out so well. We started out with a lie-in and lazy morning while we waited to see what the weather decided to do. It kept holding out… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: Paradise Park and Duckie’s Vintage Tearoom in Hayle
