...Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way!

Three days after I returned from Spain, my family and I made the 400 mile journey to Bude in Cornwall for what would be my second summer holiday of the year. None of us had ever been to Cornwall before so we were all excited to explore a new part of the UK.
We had a brilliant week in a beautiful town and every day was warm and sunny. It was perfect. We visited the Eden Project, Tintagel Castle, and the village of Clovelly. We also all tried our hands at sea kayaking and surfing as well as enjoying the peace and quiet and relaxing with Cornish pasties, ice cream, and cream teas. We've all said we would go back, and I can't wait to explore another part of Cornwall at some point in the future!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows...

I know it's been over a month since I last posted, but I have a perfectly good reason this time...I've been on holiday! 
I've been so lucky this year and I've actually had two holidays and spent the best part of a month relaxing. It's been fantastic!

On 24th June, Melissa, Katrina and I jetted off to Malaga in Spain to spend just over 2 weeks with Katrina's lovely Nan who lives out there. We had such a brilliant time and were so lucky with the weather. We all came back a beautiful shade of bronze and made loads of great memories.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few of my favourite photographs from such a wonderful two weeks. 


June lives at the top of a mountain so we had some fantastic views of the sunrise and sunset each day.

Melissa and I enjoyed breakfast on the balcony each morning.

I really did have a lovely holiday and I'd go back in an instant. I'm so grateful to Katrina's Nan for letting us stay with her again and I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful best friends to share my summer with.
