Home again

We awoke yesterday morning to a very snowy Cornwall and as a result weren't really looking forward to the following six or seven hours in the car however, as we headed further and further east across the country the snow lessened and we returned home after a reasonable journey time.

So before I burst headlong into all things Christmas I thought I would share a little of our fabulous week away in the stunning South West. We stayed in a gorgeous beach house in a little bay just half an hour from Padstow and as I showed in a previous post it had a wonderful view of the beach from the living room window. It was beautifully decorated in gorgeous seaside colours with tasteful muted wooden floors and painted furniture.

I could have stood at that window in the living room and taken millions of photographs. It would have been amazing to have a timelapse camera set up on it to track the tide come in and out each day too. I am sad that I wasn't able to get a photograph of it in the snow yesterday morning but we left before the sun rose.

In between trips out and about around the county, which I will tell you more about in other posts, we spent time on our beach and walking the coastal paths. The cliffs adjacent to our beach had a separate island which had amazing views across the various surrounding bays.

It really was an amazing coastal location and so different to our own very flat landscape here in Suffolk. I will return with more pictures from other places we travelled including introducing you to some new friends we made.
