Oh Yes!

Cornwall. England's little piece of Paradise :)

I got older (aka had a birthday) so Dave whisked me off to Cornwall for a child-free weekend.

It was HEAVEN.  The sun shone for 2 whole days, we stayed right by the beach and just did whatever we wanted to without having to stick to a time schedule or include a jumping castle en route to entertain the sprogs. 

It was Awesome. Have I said that already? Here's our weekend in pics..

Seriously. It was a BEAUT of a sunset.

Haha - this is our first stop..... we're on holiday... pass the booze! 

We ate at the pub we stayed in and the food was just out of this world and so reasonably priced too.  I had fish both nights.... When in Rome? :)

Check the paddle dude - this was about 9pm... just a totally relaxed way of life by the beach, I do miss it so..

Dreaming, posing, shmodel shot - LOL

After dinner on my actual birthday the sky exploded with colour... someone on the beach had put on the most beautiful firework display - of course Dave tried to con me into thinking he'd organised it all just for me - GREAT timing on his part!

I got spoilt with a new beach bag, some white converse, jewellery, choccies.... all the good stuff :)

St Ives is one of our favourite towns to visit so we hopped into the car and took the Park & Ride into town. This ended up being a train shuttle along the coast and we saw the most stunning beaches along the way!
Every year we sit on this bench and shuve down a huge Cornish Pasty.  Small traditions... notice the UKIP plane flying overhead with it's banner too... haha!

More fish... and handcut chips. This was HUGE ... like.... WHALE and chips

Birthday morning coffee at my birthday table.. (my birthday was on the 17th) again - stroke of luck for Dave! Serious brownie points by this stage!

We stopped off at Healey's Cornish Cyder farm for a taste of their home-brewed cider - I'm not a huge cider fan but this stuff was pretty yum and we ended up bringing a bottle home - the bottle alone is just beautiful!

Of course we had to take a few obligatory selfie's along the way. 'Scuze the finger.

MORE food.... scrummy tapa's at the Phoenix pub where we stayed - the bruschetta had an olive and garlic paste smothered on them - they were SO good.

Breakfast with a view at our favourite cafe on the beach at Watergate Bay - The Beach Hut!

 Sexy surfer people. Also.... I need to clean my camera lens. Photo fail.

These ball thrower things fascinate me.... how does the flipping ball stick in there?

I'm a big kid at heart and dragged Dave into the amusements to spend a whole pound on the 2p machines. There are some SERIOUS players in there man! After I lost my pound there was a whole queue waiting for my machine! haha!

 Just Strollin.... :)

 

We came across this awesome cave - it was super freaky and the thought of the tonnes of rock above me just freaked me out so I spent about a split second in there before I came galloping out.

And when I got home (to a roast dinner!) my awesome Mom and sprogs had baked me a scrummy chocolate cake and surprised me with yet more prezzies. All in all it was a fabulous weekend - the weather was perfect, the food was perfect, the location was perfect and the company was perfect. What more could a girl ask for? :)
