Another Holiday!

To fit in a certain amount of annual leave we had another holiday in the beginning of march, and booked it up pretty last minute! we found a lovely cottage not too far from padstow, and easy walk to the beach = ideal! so off we went. I wish i had longer to blog about the holiday, but actually I have bloggers block or something, and am not getting into the flow! It was a perfect holiday though. batteries recharged, sunny weather. lots of lovely playing time with my great girls, whether it be pretending to be adventurers or explorers on the beach, or seeing how fast we could cycle on the cycle ways [SB obviously beats me!]

The beach near us is one of those idea beaches! sandy, but with cliffs round so rock pools and climbing possibilites! and even a small cave. We looked and indentified a variety of coastal life. both girls added to my grey hairs with climbing escapades! [but no borken bones] it was sunny and breezy so felt loved by both family and weather! a number of streams trickle down the beach, so we also channelled and blocked… bliss!

We visited tintagel – loads of stairs!! and pretended to be part of arthurs court, and chatted various stories. with both a migraine and a certain level of unfitness, i was a slower walker back! but SB decided that i would be lonely if walking behind, so kept up a jolly chitter chatter about all sorts of interesting ideas that we were back at the top far quicker than i thought we would be!

2 cycling trips, the first from Bugle to the Eden project – a lovely cycle through interesting track, and lots of peering and discussing and fun. the eden project the other end fab, and you get quite a discount for having cycled! I LOVED the rainforest biome, but BB too hot and miserable from the moment she walked in! we shut her in the refresh room for a bit. I had the joy of spending a bit of my university time in the rainforests of borneo, so do like to recreate that feeling! thought it was really well set out to be v interesting to children and adults alike. the girls both happier in the mediteranean one. the ed centre [hedgehoggy building] is well worth a visit, and has the most scary bridge back! For once, i actually thought the shop had thought a great deal about what it wanted to sell in it, and there were loads of possibilities. in the end, both girls bought a wooden snake, and i bought a present for someone! we then had to cycle OUT of the eden project – gulp!!!! that having been done, with some restorative fudge at the top [ ] we then made our way back to bugle and home.

the other cycling was along the camel way. fabulous views, easy trail and geocaches along the way. mmm another lovely time! lots of time cycling along with SB as BB decided mostly to be trailgated [no idea why, as a really really easy track and she loves cycling!]

All things come to an end, and so did our holiday. but it was pretty much perfect.
