So I'm back from Cornwall, relucantly as I just did not want to come home. I missed my friends/family, but I just wanted to stay away from my usual life a little while longer :(
Hopefully we'll be going back later this year, maybe in August with some friends to chill for a week or so. The drive there and back was nowhere near as bad as last time, as Jack drove us two with the dog in the back, and despite a minor hiccup at the start, with us ending up in Huyton after following his dad's car twin he did really well and I'm very proud of him considering it was his first proper drive :)
The weather was abit hit and miss, it was sunny everyday, but five out of seven days the wind was really strong, so it cancelled out the sun as it was pretty cold. But the last day was gorgeous, and we spent everyday on the beach with Jack and his brother surfing, he taught me how to skimboard, and I caught the littlest tan ever :') Spent Tuesday pottering round Newquay which was nice. Not much has changed round Perranporth but I think that's one of the reasons we love it so much, it's like our home from home; there's still the same waitress in Pickwicks, the same shop owners from years ago, the only things that have changed really is shop signs and a new cafe called The Cove which is really nice, worth checking out if you're ever round there.
We didn't take any photos this year due to the unpredictable weather, and whenever it was sunny we had forgotten to pack the camera just incase, ah well!

This is the only photo I got, on my phone hence the bad quality of the sunset from the second day. In reality it was a gorgeous deep orange that filled the sky, my photo doesn't do it justice but you get the jist.

I'm hoping to get back on track this week with my posts, mabe throw a few new regulars in the mix, see what you all think? Tomorrow I'll do a quick Week in photos from before I left.

Are any of you going on holiday? If so, where? :)
I'm supposed to be sunning it up next week in Bodrum, Turkey with my best friends, but my passport has been a nightmare, it's taken about five months so far and it's still not sorted!
So if anyone in Liverpool either works in or knows someone who works in the Passport Office in town, help me out please, I need it! :D

Short hiatus

Hey guys, just a quick post to say although I've been slacking on the posts the last couple of weeks, I won't be posting anything this coming week as I am going to Cornwall tomorrow morning for a well deserved break! :) I'm really excited to go, but first I have to pop to Wigan tonight and see Jack's last match for a little while.

Hope you all enjoy this gorgeous heat while it lasts, see you next Saturday! :)

Counting down the days

This is definitely my lazy way of keeping up with posting, but I cannot wait for June to come round. I know it's silly to wish time away, but over the next two months I have a lot of things I wish I didn't have to do. Mainly job hunting, completing my work placement and doing the god awful presentation to accompany it - I am alright at speaking to groups when I'm comfortable with said people, but I do not like the tutor in charge of the work placement assignments, I don't even like walking past him in the corridor. We had to do presentations every Tuesday last year with him, and I still hate them, didn't help at all :/

But enough rambling, I'm dedicating this post to my second home, Cornwall, mainly Perranporth.
I'm going back there early June with Jack and his family. This will be the fourth time we've gone, and I'm yet to get bored of the place.
It's just so beautiful - the beaches are gorgeous, the sea is clear, the beach we go to has a pub on it - how cool is that! And everyone's so relaxed and just takes each day as it comes. I'd love to own either a crafts or surf shop there, or a little tea room by the beach. I'm pretty jealous of the lucky Sam who lives in Cornwall, and as you'll see from her posts, always has a lovely smile on her face :)

The following are photos either myself or Jack have taken - please don't take them without asking first!

Can't leave a holiday post without adding a little cheery music. Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes is one of my favourite songs, so relaxing and happy :)

Do you have somewhere you consider a "second home"? :)
