a little holiday at home

my mum has been down this week so there has been no sewing or drawing or getting on with the next princess (I know I'm running very late with her!!)


we were lucky enough to have one day of summer!


so we rushed to Nanjizal


well sauntered


very slowly in the heat


clambering down rocks


to our favourite place in the whole world


and picnicked in the sun while T and A swam and made boats, climbed and messed in the stream.  What these photos sadly (for you) don't show is that we got completely burned down one side of our faces and necks in the strangest way and were therefore almost relieved when it bucketed down the next day and we had to cover up.  
They also don't show the continuous rain that caught us out on Wednesday and soaked us to the skin on our lovely walk to Marazion so much so that the lovely lady in the cafe in the car park (a cafe I thoroughly recommend) offered us hot water bottles!!  We caught the bus back, ironically it was the open top bus!
But after a rainy day shopping in Truro yesterday the sunshine is back with us, who knows for how long??  So we shall go and enjoy it while it's here.  I hope you have sunshine wherever you are too

  3. Great photos, looks like a lovely day - I love the look of the pic with the rocks and the water. The weather is crazy here just now- freezing or raining or roasting! Hope the sunburn is all better now x

    2. Nanjizal is a really beautiful place. I think it's hard to get on with crafting in the summer, everything seems to get so busy! x
