Exciting Easter

Gosh what a fantastic Easter!  We welcomed the Devon and Cornwall Rally to the site, which meant we were officially full - quite an achievement so early in the season.  The site was buzzing with an events marquee playing host to music, bingo and big breakfasts.  We loved welcoming all who came with the rally and very much look forward to welcoming everyone back in August, plus the other rallies we have booked for this season and next season.  Not only was the rally a success but the weather was sensational too.  Leading to a couple of burnt noses over the Easter break (me included!).

For all the returning guests I am sure you will have seen the Easter Newsletter we sent out, if you would like to have a look at what we have been up to then check out our website for the full installment!

As we mentioned in the last blog our family has grown over the last few weeks, pictured is Richard and I with Bethany and Jessica.  (I am rocking Bethany in her bouncer chair with one foot as I type!). As a family run park we love welcoming you and your families to Little Winnick and can offer first hand experience of what is happening locally so please do ask us for advice of great places to go with little people.  We are very excited by the uprising in Gruffalo activities across the County.  To celebrate the Gruffalo's 15th Birthday there are lots of activities happening from free walks to events at Eden.  Why not follow the Gruffalo Trail around The Eden Project or take part in the Gruffalo's birthday party preparations? Or if you would like to take in the great outdoors and do a free event then visit Cardinham Woods.  Not only is the play area amazing there is a free Gruffalo Trail around the woods.  The cafe there does fantastic cakes too.

The beauty of Little Winnick is that there is so much to do on our door step.  Last week we walked down to Pentewan as I mentioned in the last blog, and the lunch I rushed off to at Heligan was sensational - as always.  I had a Dexter Beef Sandwich with salad, doesn't sound much but was the best sandwich I have had in a long time.  On my next visit (I am a regular with my season ticket), I had Dexter Beef Goulash and a cheese scone followed by the biggest meringue in the world!  Pictured are the shire horses sowing poppy seeds in the fields at Heligan, it was a spectacular site which made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck - it was like going back in time.  Also nearby is the small fishing harbour of Mevagissey - a great place to get fish and chips from followed by a walk around the village.  The Roseland Peninsula is also a short drive away with stunning quiet beaches and the King Harry Ferry.

If you are hoping to visit in August then please do book soon to avoid disappointment as we are getting very full.

First new arrivals for 2014 season...

I must apologise lots for the lack of blog when we opened for the 2014 season last Tuesday.  Hopefully you will forgive us, it is just our first new arrival of the season came a few days early- on Sunday 6th April our daughter Bethany Eve was born, a little sister for Jessica. A very quick birth meant Richard was back at the park for the opening day of the season just a day later!  As a result you will not being seeing much of me this year as I have two little people to keep me very busy however Richard will be on site most of the time.

So we are officially open for the season and already full over Easter which is just fantastic.  We have the Devon and Cornwall Rally taking place on site right now, and what fun they seem to be having with entertainment, breakfasts and walks out.  We have some pictures which I will get ready for the next blog.

Finally a blog that is super positive about the weather.  It is stunning.  So hot and not a cloud in the sky.  So much so I have been caught out a couple of times and got a little burnt.  By all accounts the weather is on the up now, so why not make the most of it and pop down to Cornwall to recharge in the glorious sun. We are offering 7 nights for the price of 5 after Easter.  Yesterday we walked from Little Winnick down the cycle trail to Pentewan with the pushchair laden with a picnic.  We sat by the harbour and watched the ducks and the comings and going of the village followed by an ice cream, it was so lovely.

Just a short blog today, as my parents who are down visiting and looking after Jessica for the morning have called and invited me to lunch at Heligan....my favourite lunch treat, so better decamp there for lunch!
