Catching Up

Hi everyone. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Hubby whisked me away for a fabulous minibreak to West Cornwall. We had fabulous weather.

I forgot the sunscreen; my mobile phone charger; our beach towel and my sun hat.

We enjoyed the fabulous beach at St. Ives with water in all shades of indigo blues and aquamarines.




We ate very well


We braved the freezing sea water along the causeway to St. Michael's Mount

And a school child's postcard to Barbara Hepworth, in her museum, summed up our thoughts:


Now I am catching up with blogging, laundry, etc.
Of course the rain is pouring now... How about you?



BTW I also came up with a new Blogfest idea. See my post this Thursday and grab the button.

    Hi Madeleine .. raining - oh no .. it's still bright sunshine here!

    My land .. my mother's land, my grandmother's land .. and in fact my father's grandfather retired and died at 100 in Carbis Bay in 1953!

    Mum's flat had a view across to Penzance Bay .. and her business was in Newlyn .. wonderful to see 'home' again ..

    Lovely part of the world and so pleased you had such fantastic weather ..

    Made my day - love the post and pictures .. my lighthouse .. we used to play on the rocks opposite as kids .. sorreeee .. better stop reminiscing now!

    Welcome back .. Hilary

    Great photos -- I too forgot my sunscreen yesterday at the beach, and now I look like Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama.

    I love the picture of you in jacket and sun hat - just about sums up the unpredictability of British weather! And yes, it's raining here too (although we had three lovely days so I can't complain!)

    Aww, how nice of him to whisk you away to such a beautiful place. We've had our share of cool and rainy, it's finally been pretty nice here.

    And everytime I pack, I forget something important. Usually my hairbrush!

    That looks amazing. I have only been to a beach once in my life. I was eleven and remember it burned my feet. I must go back some day with shoes. Hehehe.

    I'll join the blogfest. Can't wait to hear more about it. :D

    Glad you had a wonderful weekend. We did this way. The most perfect summer weather, which I think is a first for Oregon since I've been here. [Going on 14 years]. Was just fantastic. Perfect skies for the observatory and nice outings with the husband unit.
