Let's go to the beach, beach...

Wow, how is it halfway through September already? And I've yet to post on the blog this month… How neglectful! 

I've got a good excuse for being AWOL though. I was on my jollies! 

I went to Paris (more on that at a later date) and then headed to Cornwall for my auntie and uncle's 25th wedding anniversary. As I was there only bridesmaid I obviously had to be there... 

Yep, this was us. 25 years ago. Awwww. 

So 12 of us plus three dogs set off and home for a week was this lush place with even lusher views. 

It got the seal of approval from Chance and Charlie.

So what did we do all week? 

Got excited when we saw the beach 

Drank cider (when in Rome and all that. Or Cornwall in this case...)

Had cream tea on the beach. A little sand mixed with the jam makes it taste all that much better 

Went for walks 

And chilled out 

Travelled to Lands End

Surfed in the sea that was surprisingly warm 

And surfed on the, er, sand too...

Ate cakes from Rick Stein's bakery (Who knew passionfruit cake would be so delish?)

Caught a fish 

Be a little too happy about catching the fish

Cooked the fish 

Toasted marshmallows on the campfire 

Burning them adds to the flavour. Apparently. 

Oh, and a campfire wouldn't be a campfire without a little 'Kum Ba Yah' on the guitar and tambourine would it? (Or Adele in this case…)

And the perfect end to a perfect holiday? Make a wish and set off Chinese sky lanterns…. Sorry there is no picture of this nice moment. Unfortunately it was VERY windy and no one thought that maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to set them off meaning they rose up and then came back down almost setting us AND the house on fire. Not ideal but it made for a very funny end of the trip…

So thanks for having us Cornwall. You were a beaut. See you very soon.
