A throwback to the Autumn

And breath....

The last couple of weeks have been quite mad! I love it but also love the chance to relax before it all kicks off again.  We're thinking of moving house just to throw some more crazy times into the mix but it's all good.

This weekend we're off to my parents which is always nice, a walk around Poole Quay is no doubt on our list of things to do.  It certainly is a break away from the city life we've been living the last few weekends.

So what better way to welcome the weekend than reminisce when things were calmer in October.  (I promise these are the last photos from Cornwall!)





Who'd have thought we were heading west!

Eden project part 4

This post is my favourite and features the Mediterranean Biome.  If you didn't know by now I love Spain so much and could quite happily move over there and build up a nice run down villa, have lots of happy tanned children running around in our acres of land which grows olives etc etc stop dreaming Caroline!!

Anyway walking into this biome was very nice, much cooler than the Rainforest Biome and had very pretty flowers to amuse myself with the camera.

Porthmeor beach

My favourite kind of visit to the beach is when it's a cool sunny day so that I can enjoy the space and stroll along the coast letting my feet breath in the water.

Our visit to Porthmeor beach in St Ives was just that kind of day.  We had a look around the Tate gallery and then walked around the beach watching all the dogs enjoy the beach just as much as us.

Our holiday cottage

We made our way down the twisting narrow streets to an old fisherman's cottage which very much had all the original features and wasn't built for a couple of tall people!

Beyond the impractical features of the cottage was a lovely place with stunning views.

Here are a few snaps of the cottage and one sunny breakfast we had while we were there.

Eden Project part 3

Next in the Eden Project series...(find part 1 and part 2)

It was ten degrees outside and given we were dressed for that it was quite uncomfortable in the 30 degree Rainforest Biome. Beneath my woolen jumper I had quite a glitzy vest top but I had no choice to walk around dressed to impressed! I would show you the pictures but I just can't my hair took on the Monica from Friends style giving the new hubby much to laugh about.

Meanwhile there was much prettiness...
