Last month I slipped out the house at 6am and whizzed down the coast, over the border and into the wilds of Cornwall to attend the Port Eliot festival.

See you Monday…
Today’s the big 3-0 and I’m bundling my two menfolk into the car and heading down the coast into Cornwall, back to our beloved Rosevine, near St. Mawes. After our trip in July I knew there was only one place I wanted to spend my 30th. We are guaranteed amazing…
The post of two beaches… Roseland Peninsula, Porthcurnick and St Mawes, Cornwall
After Monday’s review post about The Rosevine (verdict: love), I thought I’d do a picture heavy post on the various beaches we frequented during our 48-hour trip to Cornwall. The Rosevine itself is on the Roseland Peninsula, above the National Trust-owned Porthcurnick beach (of which more later), and 5 miles…
CF Review: The Rosevine, near St Mawes, Cornwall
So we’re back. Three days at The Rosevine near St. Mawes in Cornwall and I feel like a new woman. One with sand between her toes, freckles on her nose and significantly lower stress levels. From the moment we crunched onto the gravel drive (down a wild flower lined lane)…
A sunny weekend in Cornwall?
Woooo hoooo hoooo! I’ve just seen the weather forecast for our weekend in Cornwall this Friday – and it is SUNNY. Like hot, sunny. THIRTY DEGREES sunny. I’ve probably gone and jinxed it now but I don’t care. I cannot wait. We are staying at the brilliantly conceived Rosevine, near…
Spring break… but not as we know it.
I had to get this shot of tulips and daffs in as it is currently the only vestige of spring that seems apparent in the run up to Easter (bitter aside: I was on the beach here in 20 degree sunshine last Easter). To this end, we have decided to…
10 things I love about: Bedruthan Steps, Mawgan Porth Cornwall
I *could* write a long rambling post, extolling the virtues and successes of the family-owned Bedruthan Steps Hotel in Mawgan Porth, North Cornwall. I could go into the minutiae of our three day trip – the highs (getting drunk by a log fire with my husband) and the lows…
Birthday celebrations: pizza ovens, Cornwall and babies
Today is the OH’s 30th birthday. He was thoroughly chuffed with all his presents (especially the MASSIVE chocolate cake above) and we’re all looking forward to heading down to Bedruthan Steps tomorrow. The surprise element of the trip is the two-day Cob Oven building course I have booked him onto,…
Our first family holiday: Bedruthan Steps
It is with HUGE excitement and a little intrepidation that I’ve booked us our first family holiday. We shall be spending 3 nights this June at the Bedruthan Steps hotel, Mawgan Porth in Cornwall. Gulp. The trip will not be into wholly unchartered waters as this shall be my third…
