Back from our travels


Hello lovelies,
Yesterday we returned from a fabulous holiday in Cornwall ......yes that's the Cornish coast in the picture above...isn't it stunning !!!  Could easily be some where exotic don't you think ? There was extended family to share our days with. It was a fun filled mostly sunny week and looking through the 227 photos I've just uploaded  I'm feeling a little sad today......



 I'm also feeling pretty pooped right now but I wanted to pop in to say how much I have missed you lovelies. Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my patchwork. I can't wait to finish it soon and share it with you all.







I also wanted to apologize to those who kindly commented on my "July nature notes" post. I accidentally deleted it before I went away so I will have to rewrite it as I don't want a month to be missing at the end of the year.



Whilst we were at the beach I was so happy I managed to sneak  away for a little quiet time and I was able to take some lovely pictures for a seaside" August nature notes" :0)......



Look out for that in a week or so ......I'm hoping you will love it !



Yes I'm feeling very lucky this summer.......two fab Holidays in quick succession ......now I really need to get on with school uniform buying ......two sets of uniform for my twins who are starting secondary school in 3 short weeks...hope they still have plenty in stock .Wish me luck :0)



I hope you enjoyed the selection of Cornish images I scattered through this post....it really was a holiday to remember in an idillic spot .


Just off to catch up with my favourite blogs.

  2. Welcome back! You deserved an idyllic spot for a holiday after what you endured before leaving town! I am in love with all the photos but took a particular liking to the one with all the colorful shovels and the one of the water with all the boats...there are lovely lines and curves in that photo!

  3. What a beautiful post! Gorgeous pics of summery delights. It has made my day a lot brighter as it is actually snowing here (a once in a lifetime thing apparently) in my part of the world. We are so very ill prepared for this weather and I would much rather be in the sunshine at the beach like your pics! Have a fab week.

  11. Lovely photos- you can't beat Cornwall in the sunshine.
    Btw, do you remember that little crochet toadstool I made? Well, after a bit of digging out of my notes, I've just posted a tutorial for how to make it.

    Hope the uniform buying goes well- I've just bought shoes and would you believe, they only had two pairs in the right size?! Let's hope they still fit him for the start of term!

  14. stunning images- a picture perfect holiday x looks like you had a great time...being an essex girl from small island on the east coast, such flat land- As a child on holidays to devon and cornwall i used to think how wonderful the coast line was and how clear blue the sea was and now i live here, a child hood dream ;0)...the rocky cliffs still old a romantic charm every time i see them ;0)...best wishes...i felt out of sorts after my trip back to the east coast, think its that holiday over blues feeling! x

  15. Welcome home, chick! Looks like you had a brilliant time. Just need to tell you that your patchwork post led me to start a Hex a long over at Lily's Quilts. I can't remember what the trail was but I know it started at yours! I'm loving it! Can't wait to see your finished quilt. Hope the post holiday washing pile isn't toooo big! Lots of love, Amanda xxxx
