Holiday Snaps

 
Hello!
 
Sorry for the long absence, I was away on holiday last week and the week before that was manic, as this week is shaping up to be!  I haven't done any sewing for two whole weeks. 
 
As I've nothing to share with you on the sewing front, I thought I'd show you a few of my holiday snaps.
 
We spent the first four days of our holiday with friends in St Austell, Cornwall, in the little holiday cottage they have attached to their house.
 
Our cottage in the centre of the picture.  Our friends house is the stone building on the left.

 
We visited the Eden Project - which is only twenty minutes walk from the cottage - and spent some time in the tropical rainforest biome and the temperate Mediterranean biome.  Some of the plants in the rainforest biome in particular are stunning.
 

 
Look at the size of the leaf on this palm!
 
We spent the rest of our time in Cornwall visiting various small, pretty seaside towns; Fowey, St Mawes, Looe and Polperro.

After Cornwall we headed east to Dorset and stayed for a couple of nights in Lyme Regis. 
 
 
 
The town isn't quite as pretty as the Cornish seaside resorts, but has lots of lovely little shops and restaurants.  It was perfect for a two night stay and we had a room in the most gorgeous little B&B. 
 
Our final night was spent in Bournemouth, where we had tickets to see Riverdance, which is celebrating it's 20th anniversary this year.  My hubby's family are Irish, and he's always wanted to see the show.  It was simply amazing!
 
I do have a couple of unblogged sewing projects that were completed before I went on holiday, so I'll hopefully have time to share those with you sooner rather than later.

  1. Looks beautiful. Did you see the dinosaurs at Eden? They are so realistic, they terrified my nephew!

  4. Lucky you. Cornwall is such a beautiful place. I especially love the beach at St Mawes. It is a great place to find sea glass. Glad that you had such a lovely holiday.

    1. To my shame we didn't actually go on the beach at St Mawes! It looked very pretty though.
