For the next week, we have left Number Twelve and are living here in this beautiful cottage
Near St Austell
We've stayed here many times before, so it feels like home from home....
Only a lot tidier!
Today we popped into Charlestown to have a late lunch at Charlies
It's been a firm favourite since we discovered it last Easter -
With toast almost the same size as small person
We wandered down to the harbour - past these stunning tulips
Admiring the old whitewashed fishermans cottages
Past the boats
Down to the harbour walls
All in the most glorious sunshine - It felt like August, not April
Small person went pebble hunting
Whilst Tall One people watched
We then drove to Portholland stopping for an ice cream from here -
and walked from the East Harbour to the West Harbour
Where Small Person made freinds and painted Pebbles
and Tall one found Towers on the beach
Then it was back home for a sunny evening tea
Todays Treasures .....
& G proving he's still got the touch with the ladies....
It's been a tough week leading up to this break, one thats made me want to wrap my arms around my familly & squeeze them tight. One thats made me count my blessings
Do the same to your loved ones, wherever you are, and be happy in the moment.

Poor you, I hope this break does the trick.
ReplyDeleteSay hello to Cornwall for me, especially if you go to Falmouth and St. Ives
Have you been to the Minack Theatre? well worth a visit and the beach is from heaven...
Take care
Jude

It looks like a great start to the holiday - I hope the weather stays good and you have a super week :)
ReplyDeleteLovely blog post, it looks like a perfect holiday and sounds like it was one you all needed. x
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so glad to hear that you are having time together in such a wonderful place - you so deserve this time of rest and blessing. Your photos are lovely and the name of the cottage is quite relevant to something you were saying to me the other day, I think? I'm writing some prayers for my children and posting on my blog them every day this week, as I've found that a good way of dealing with many of my concerns and stresses about them at the moment.
