We have just returned from a lovely two weeks holiday. We went down to Devon for the first week to stay in the caravan we have situated near where our daughter and her family live. The grandchildren had been waiting since we bought the caravan in April to be able to come and sleep over for a couple of nights. They were so excited (as were we) We had a lovely few days with them, off to the beach for picnics, fun in the sea and building sand castles. All while mummy and daddy went off to Cornwall on their own for a weekend of camping.
We spent a couple of days down in Cornwall. The above photos are of Porthcurnick beach which is where the Hidden Hut is situated. www.hiddenhut.co.uk a great cafe to visit if you are down that way
We bought lunch, sat on the beach and I took a quick dip :)
Portscatho is the next beach on from Porthcurnick, a lovely little village and harbour
We stayed over night with friends in Cornwall, the next day rained but as we only had a day and half rain in two weeks we really can't complain. We had a stroll around Mevagissy harbour, a place we always visit as we both have lovely memories of when we were both young and also since we have been married. When I was young I would visit the harbour with my Dad on a Sunday afternoon and buy macarel straight from the fishing boats and take them home for tea.
We had lots of fun with the grandchildren while we were in Devon and then travelled up to our cottage in Wales for our second week. We have only had the cottage for 15 months and so are still exploring the areas, on most of our visits we are busy working on the cottage but decided this visit would be mainly for holiday and so did very little work. We took picnics out and walked around the reservoirs and into the mountains.
We discovered these lovely tea rooms, top left photo, and so when the family came to stay over on route to their camp site we took them there. The children loved the fancy bone china tea set and cakes. This was their first visit to the cottage so very exciting for all of us. Molly was delighted to share her other home with her favourite people. I made up the bed with my favourite W
Each blanket ready for our daughter and SIL :)
My sister lives about 40 mins from our cottage, her and her husband are Welsh speaking and know the country well, they had planned a lovely day out with us, we packed up picnics and drove up into the mountains.
Some friends from Devon joined us for three days at the end of our holiday, it was their first visit to Dove Cottage too so we had fun showing them the neighbourhood.
We are so blessed to have places to stay in the South West and Wales, the countryside in both areas is amazingly beautiful and we are in awe of Gods amazing creation.

It looks like a wonderful place to stay and visit with lots of great things to do! So glad you enjoyed it so much! xx
Such beautiful places and lovely photos! I can imagine the fun you all had with your grandchildren and the memories made as they stayed at your cottage. A very special time for all of you!
Once again, I appreciate so much that you blog, and that I get to visit here! I feel like it is a gift of seeing parts of the world that I will probably only get to see here, and it is free:) The pictures are lovely! Having your grandchildren stay at your cottage with you, must have been such a blessing. I enjoyed every picture!
It looks like a wonderful getaway. I'm sure the children had a marvelous time with you and made great memories. Your photos are beautiful and show the great time you had.
