Our Cornwall Holiday :: the final part

Hello Lovelies,

 thank you for all your wonderful comments on my holiday posts so far...they really make me smile.Here are the final two days of our Holiday....phew.

FRIDAY

with the end of the holiday looming the children were keen to spend their pennies.

We headed into Newquay as it has a lot of shopping opportunities. The tide was out in the harbour but it still looked lovely..........

I sneaked into a beer garden to get this shot of the coastline right down to Porth in the far distance.....it's stunning , don't you think..........

In town the seagulls seemed to have no problem avoiding the anti-bird measures:0)

Newquay is a magnet for youngsters and it has a very cheerful buzz, with lots of street performers, bars, nightclubs and hip shops........

I think it has had a bit of trouble with party goes drinking to excess, but in the day time it felt fun and happening....if a bit crowded for my liking.

We wandered along to Fistral beach to check out the Boardmasters  festival but didn't stay long .......

Middle son had spent his holiday money on a shiny new body board and he was keen to test it out, so we collected beach stuff from the car and headed for Towan beach......

Here he is ready to hit the surf........

While the boys and Mr BM enjoyed the waves I sat and watched bags....and , you guessed it ....did another sketch of the scene......

this was a just a  simple one but I really like it......

The family enjoying a picnic are based on this little group.......

And I was pleased to be able to include the Huer's Hut ...somewhere I wanted to get a closer look at , but it didn't happen ( maybe next time )........

All too soon it was Friday night and our holiday was almost over. I really loved this static caravan and wished we had longer to enjoy it. I think bringing homely touches made it extra special. As you can see I brought the fairy lights from my welsh dresser, and placed them on the window pelmet........

I also brought a small lamp, to add a gentle glow . At home we have lots of lamps and I really miss them when I'm away ..........

Did you notice my cute postcards, I found these in a shop at Porth and had to get them..........

They are by Janet Bell and there are lots more examples of here work HERE

I just love the bright cheerful colours and seaside themes. This card is my favourite as it looks a lot like the Cornish beaches we visited..........

on Saturday morning we packed the car, handed in our caravan keys and headed back into Crantock one last time........

The thatched pub and the cottage gardens were looking lovely.......

But this is where we were headed........the Cozy Nook tea room .......

It certainly lives up to it's name, with a sweet courtyard filled with flowers.........

there are even grapes growing over your head.........

It was the perfect spot to enjoy  a scummy Cornish cream tea......

oooooh it was good.

This little courtyard also has a gallery which we investigated......

It was great to see information about the different artists whose work was for sale.....

I ended up purchasing this sweet little seaside collage by the Elaine Cavell.....

I think it was the seagulls in the picture and the shells on the heart shaped frame that made me choose this one.
It summed up our holiday perfectly.

After not expecting to be able to go away as a big family group this year, this holiday turned out to be one of the best.

I hope you lovelies enjoyed my posts and I'm sure you will understand when I skip this weeks ♥52 weeks♥ post.
I feel I've spent most of my spare time this week sat at my computer. I'm so glad I can record our special times for my boys and myself, and I love to share them with you all. But  I do feel a bit guilty about all the screen time the boys  have had while I've been doing it .
So I'll sign off for a bit. I can't believe there are only two weeks left of the school summer holidays....it's going so quickly.
See you soon lovelies.
