Sometimes you don’t need to go far away to get away from it all. Last weekend we enjoyed a lovely long weekend down near Newquay in Cornwall but looking at our photos you might have thought we were somewhere much more exotic.
The sun was shining with hardly a cloud in the sky, the sand was warm in-between our toes and the water was a bright turquoise green colour. A perfect combination for relaxation and family fun.
We built sandcastles which Daisy promptly knocked down, we dug holes and buried each other, we paddled and swam in the water and of course we enjoyed a picnic and some tasty ice creams too. We definitely felt like we were on holiday.
It is nice to go abroad or on a plane but sometimes its nice to be in the UK too and Cornwall has some of the most amazing beaches. We love it there.
This one was Crantock beach, North Devon and when we arrived at 9.30am it was empty. It did fill up by lunch time but up until then we imagined we were all on a deserted island. Lots of fun.

I’ve never actually been down to Crantock beach to explore, it looks like a lovely place to spend the day just mooching around the beach. Your girls all have fab smiles on in the photos, shows the true fun of the sunshine on the beach. Thanks for linking up with me on Country Kids.
