40
Well, that’s it! The fountain of youth ran out for the 2LK Blogger and I’m now 40!
I’m not the only one this year at 2LK to hit this landmark, Gareth celebrated a few months back and Andy is not far behind – more on Fresh’n’Funky next week!! B’n’B is celebrating by spinning the wheels of steel and playing some ‘Phat! Tunes’ at his Birthday bash this weekend, so I’ll be updating the blog with some photos of that on Monday.
Meanwhile, I celebrated in a far more relaxed style and headed off with the family to explore the delights of ‘Kernow’.
Birthday lunch at Jamie Oliver’s 15 in Watergate Bay was an excellent way to start the week, with the remainder of the afternoon spent on the sand watching the surfers which was pretty cool.
Sand castles built and lunch run off, we headed back to our retreat of Little Carwinnick which was fantastic, Pam & Nigel have the most fantastic cottages and barns in the middle of the Cornish countryside – beautiful location on the Roseland Peninsula, a brilliant base for our week of exploring.
Highlights of the week include, Afternoon Tea at the Lugger Hotel on dismal rainy afternoon. Introducing the kids to Scones, Jam and Clotted Cream – the view from the tiny slipway in the bottom of the cove is amazing.
St Mawes is also pretty cool, great Castle and loads of boats over to Falmouth and other places. St Agnes was also really nice, lovely beach, good surf and very picturesque.
But finally, we had to head home – but on the way we made one more discovery! Porthcothan.
What a brilliant place and what a fantastic way to spend our last day in Cornwall. The beach is beautiful, surrounded by the most amazing cliffs and rock formations – great sand – wonderful rock pools – loads of surf etc. There are even the ubiquitous Bay Watch style Life Guards.
Thankfully, it was one of the sunnier days of our holiday – shame it was the last!
We might be back…….
Anyway, Happy Birthday me!
Well happy birthday you!!! Welcome to the club; I've been here already 8 years and hope you enjoy your stay! ;P
OK, it's confirmed - for my next trip to the great isles of Britian, I'm calling you first. Your trip sounds fantastic, the places you visited are beautiful and any trip that includes clotted cream is a 4-star trip for me.
