For the last week of the summer holiday, we headed down to North Cornwall to visit my parents. The girls were so excited to see them for the first time this year, and were counting down the days until we left. Lydia meticulously packed outfits for each day – my youngest does like to co-ordinate …
While we were staying with my parents during the summer, we visited the Tamar Otter & Wildlife Centre in North Cornwall. It is a wonderful family friendly place to visit, with lots of different animals to see. The grounds of the sanctuary are really beautiful, and they do several talks about their otters and also …
As my parents live in Cornwall, we try to spend a week there every summer – usually for our main summer holiday. The girls adore spending time with their Grandparents, and it’s always really enjoyable for all of us. We spent half the time we were there just chilling out and enjoying family time, and …
As part of our trip to Cornwall for our summer holiday, we visited the Camel Creek Adventure Park near Wadebridge. The girls loved it; they got to spend an entire day climbing, sliding, and going on lots of rides!
James is currently down in Cornwall visiting us, and so we decided to make the most of the good(ish) weather yesterday afternoon and head out for lunch and a walk.

We have been staying with my parents for four weeks now, and with the exception of Christmas week, we have been settling into a fairly easy going yet structured routine. Up around 7am in the morning, Lydia comes into my bed for milk & snuggles, while Georgie, sometimes without even a “hello” for her Mummy, …
The weather has been absolutely appalling since we arrived in Cornwall a week or so before Christmas, and not only is it interfering with my parents’ internet connection (disastrous for blogging & twitter!!), it is definitely causing a large case of cabin fever for everyone stuck indoors. The dry spells, what little of them there …
While we were in Cornwall last week, we spent a total of three sunny afternoons at the beach. Georgie had a great time playing in the sand, collecting pebbles, building dams and playing with a little girl called H (the daughter of my Dad’s ex-colleague & friend). Our little girl was also what I would …
We’re having a lovely week in Cornwall, and we were lucky enough to have some glorious sunshine on the bank holiday weekend, which only means one thing when you’re this close to the coast… beach day! We spent two consecutive afternoons at Widemouth Bay and Georgie had an absolute whale of a time. As soon …
While we were down in Cornwall last week, James asked my parents if they would babysit Georgie for an evening so that he could take me out for a date. It had been so long since we have been out for a meal together without our toddler in tow that I’d almost forgotten what it …
