Summer season in full swing

The summer season is in full swing here at Little Winnick Touring Park with the main park full and the Rally Field hosting Bedfordshire Caravan and Camping Club - and I have to say times like this make all out hard work worthwhile with a park full of lovely caravan and campers.  The mood is lifted by the utterly glorious weather we are enjoying for the whole of the 2014 summer.  Yes we have had the odd blip here and there but on the whole it is has be sun, sun and more sun.

If you are visiting at the moment there is so much on for the whole family.  The Eden Project currently is home to dinosaurs - the girls and I will be going tomorrow to check this out, but I have heard the large life like puppets are a bit scary and will keep the children entertained for hours.  A short drive away The Lost Gardens of Heligans are celebrating The Lost Summer with old fashioned activities to keep young and old amused for hours.

Slightly further afield the Maritime Museum has a jammed packed calander of events to keep children entertained - we shall be heading over there for pirates week and will be taking a tour of the Tall Ships when they return to Falmouth later in the month.

If you are looking for some culture then there is lots of theatre to choose from both indoors and out.  The Minnack Theatre is a bit of a drive but worth every minute with stunning cliff top views to admire whilst watching some great theatre.  Locally firstly the Miracle Theatre visit The Tempest and then the Asylum Theatre Company take up residence at The Lost Gardens of Heligan with A Dead Dog in a Suitcase and other Love Songs.

Food is fast becoming one of the many jewels in Cornwall's crown.  Most recently the well known local Sam's Restaurant has opened Sam's in the Bay at Carlyon Bay.  The pop up restaurant is on the stunning beach which is awaiting development so why not enjoy it in it's most natural state - we have heard the cocktails are pretty special.

As for us, we are all keeping busy.  August is always a very very busy month ensuring we have a park to be proud of and that all our guests have an enjoyable stay.  We tend to spend our day off in our garden trying to get on top of the weeds!  This week we had the treat of celebrating our eldest daughter's second birthday - all went well until she let go of her helium balloon outside!  Most Saturday's I try and go on an adventure with the girls as it is a little bit quieter and Daddy is working, tomorrow is The Eden Project, last week we enjoyed the Artisan Market in the Market House in St Austell - a truly beautiful building, a little bit like a time capsule.  The week before we headed to the Lizard and explored the delights of the Seal Sanctuary - well worth a visit and the Lizard is a magical place.
