Let’s talk about the blue skies and the amazingly amazing sun that finally blessed us with its warmth.  I laughed at myself as with this tiny bit of sun I insisted we spent the whole day in our garden despite the fact it was freezing; we cooked lunch outdoors on the fire pit, making our friends huddle around the fire and drink gallons of tea to keep warm.

You lucky folks have a Bank Holiday within sniffing distance, what a treat having a long weekend.  We are full to the brim and looking forward to the atmosphere that the final summer bank holiday brings. This week, with no children until Thursday I have been busy eating and drinking.

There is some irony in me writing this blog right now, as we are child free! The girls have gone for a week’s holiday with Nana & Grandad in Norfolk.  Out of the three days they have been gone we have spent two of those evenings in the pub.

The summer holidays are here!  My favourite time of the year; when we are full to the brim at Little Winnick, and I get to have our girls at home for the whole summer. I am going to bring you a series of blogs that look at things that will not break the bank but that will also keep everyone entertained.

Where is Little Winnick?  To help you get to know the area around us the next few blogs will let you in on our favourite places just a stones throw from Little Winnick. So, let’s start with our nearest village – we are located on the edge of Pentewan, a pretty,  sleepy fishing harbour.

Hi-de-hi Campers – the 2018 season is well and truly underway and we are very pleased to be welcoming new and returning guests back to our little slice of heaven.  Now to be fair, it didn’t look that heavenly over Easter – the wild, wet weather left us battered and bruised.

Last night our friends at The Lost Gardens of Heligan kindly gave us tickets to see The Rogue Theatre’s latest offering – The Lost Garden Summer Ball.  Cue two very excited little girls who had their fairy and angel dresses laid out ready all week, and every evening we have practised the face painting to perfect our look…

Every evening on my to-do list has been a blog since the last one…but by the time everyone is fed, watered blah blah blah I am almost asleep.  This morning I have the luxury of sitting at the computer whilst Richard takes our younger two children down the trail which runs right outside Little Winnick so I can race through my to do list!

Last night we had the pleasure of enjoying Cornwall at its best; a long warm summers evening, down in the small village harbour of Gorran Haven eating fish and chips.  The beautiful harbour has long been talked about in our family as a great place for tea and a treat, yet we had never made it down there.

When in Cornwall it is without doubt rude not to try a pasty…or two.  We take great pride in trying to find the best pasty of them all, and this week with friends visiting we sent them off with one soul aim; to bring us home an ‘Ann’s Pasty’ from the Lizard.
