Cornwall - final few

I didn't take anywhere near enough photos and I didn't make enough time either, just slipped right into holiday mode. I had really wanted to take some of the boats in the harbour in Porthleven and although I went there 3 or 4 times I didn't once take the camera. I am SERIOUSLY kicking myself now. These are just the last few randomers.

Love this place.

Photobucket
Weird that I only actually lived in this house for 5 years, but it still feels like home.

My name is Cara, I am Princess.

Cornwall does great sunsets.

Photobucket
Although I seem to have ignored the idea that the sunset is more impressive with something silhouetted against it. Oops I blame in on the wine.

Photobucket
Good night.

Polurrian to Poldhu

See why I love this place?

Photobucket
Well, not this place, this is just a gate. But I do like it.

Polurrian. A real "locals" beach, tucked away in between the cliffs.

Photobucket
Polurrian again, with the Hotel on the cliff top. We had such a lovely day for this walk.

This is Poldhu, we didn't use this beach as its just off the road, easy to find and was always full of tourists! A proper Cornish coastal view, look at the colours in that sea, just beautiful.

Photobucket
This was the Weds and the first really sunny day for anyone who had come down on holiday from the Saturday before so everyone was on the beach making the most of it.

Photobucket
Had wanted to do this walk since April and was so lucky that the sun shone for us.

Cornwall - my heart's home.

Had a wonderful week with mum and dad, sister and brother in law and a plethora of nephews. Got to do the walk from Mullion to Polhurian that I had been google mapping since April when I developed a huge yearning to go "home" - and what's more I got to do it on a fantastically sunny day and then having done that I got to go back to St Keverne and more importantly Ladnvean (do you know in spite of living there for 4 or 5 years, I have never written that word! no idea if thats how you spell it). We lived there from when I was about 2 or 3 and left when I was seven and it is chock full of memories; St Keverne Carnival, the annual Ox Roast, magical birthday parties, my mum's little blue 1100!! When we went back to visit it was the day of the Ox Roast, traditionally the first slice is auctioned and this year it sold for £300 and then the rest of the slices are sold off to raise funds for the wonderful St Keverne band, I had just made up my mind to join the band when we moved to Mullion. Cue audible sigh of relief from St Keverne band members!

These first lot of photos are some of the ones I took of my family on holiday, the one's that I am most especially pleased with, of course!

Photobucket
My beautiful sister.

My middle sized nephew.

And my youngest nephew.

Is this a handsome family? I thought so!

My sister is a surf-babe, rock-chick - you can tell just by looking at this photo.

Photobucket
See.

More to come.
