Sarnies on the beach

We may not be able to get to the beach much in the summer, but days like today make up for it.  Yes, that's right, we had breakfast on the beach in January.  It was glorious.  We ventured onto the Roseland to Carne Beach.  We last visited there pre children many years ago and I loved it then.  But today I fell head over heals back in love with the beautiful open beach.  It is fantastically child friendly with parking right on the edge of the beach.  This is a big winner for me when I often go to these places solo with two under threes - we need near by parking!  Today the whole family went and we took our trusty camping stove.  Bacon sandwiches on the beach with a cap of tea...does it get any better.   It was truly glorious.

I nervously declare that I think there are signs that spring is on it's way down here in Cornwall.  We have now spotted snowdrops and daffodils out in full bloom which teases us with what is to come in the wonderful Cornish gardens.  I am going to make it our mission to visit as many gardens as we can this year.

At Little Winnick the new toilet block is ongoing.   We have a wealth of trades people onsite, tomorrow there will be builders, carpenters, plumbers, flooring experts and electricians...that is a lot of cups of coffee!  The project involves using what we referred to as the 'old block' to house the ladies, with a whole new block being built for the family, disabled, men's, laundry and dish washing up area.  We will take come pictures this week for you.
