Holidays

We just spent a great week in Falmouth with family and managed to visit lots of interesting places and get some creative stuff done too!

We visited Godrevy and saw a group of seals (including baby ones!) on the beach there as well as the lighthouse just off the coast. Here is a photo of Brian and Evie perched on the edge of the cliff looking down to the seals on the beach below (Evie being on the edge of a cliff made everyone nervous, not least of all her dad and auntie!)



A trip to St Michael's Mount was full of fun and photo opportunities. We managed to walk across to the mount over the causeway before the tide came in and cut us off. We spent ages visiting the castle and monastry and sat to have our lunch on a grassy knoll just outside the entrance to the castle looking out on a brilliantly blue atlantic ocean! We caught a boat back to the mainland which excited the children just as much as anything else.





There were lots of opportunities for going to the beach but the sea is at it's coldest just now so the kids donned their wetsuits and took the body boards out while Brian and I sat on the shore and watched (ready to dive in if needed of course!)


Evie spent lots of time picking the wild garlic flowers on the way back from the beach which added a lovely centrepiece (and fragrance) to the dinner table! She was barefoot and carefree, which is exactly how she lives life really.

A fantastic week, can't wait to go back in May (hopefully the water will have warmed up a little by then!!)
