Donkey Sanctuary

A few weeks ago, I spent the weekend with Matt, El, Clare and Olivia in Oxford. The cottage we rented was again a lovely place and thankfully not as hidden as the last place. On the Saturday we went into Oxford to look around. The weather was cold and miserable so we had lunch, went to Primark (Olivia get a Mikey Mouse out of me - she looked so happy when she saw him!) and then headed home. 

On Sunday before heading home, we found a donkey sanctuary. 

Nice donkey.

Olivia was a little cautious at first but seemed to enjoy. 

There wasn't much there but we had look around at the donkeys (though a few were getting quite amorous so we moved on quickly before there could be any awkward questions from little people).

Few days on the beach

Towards the Easter Bank Holidays, the weather just went amazing. So we spent the last few days on the beach.

Treyarnon.

Trevose

Treyarnon again

And the weather was also good enough for the best evenings outside enjoying life.

Last night.

Trevose Head

The next we just could not decide what we wanted to do. All 3 of us were just useless. So we headed back to Trevose head and Dad and I took a walk in the other direction to the lighthouse. 

The headland

Trevose lighthouse

We had a long discussion with no conclusion on which bays these were

Seat at the end of the point.

Being pensive.

After we got back Dad went off for a walk and I had a nap in the car. Though I did have to go hunt him up afterwards as he disappeared. Again the evening was finished with dinner and wine in the sun.

Trevose to Boobies and Constantine

The weather slowly started to improve but was still cold so we decided on another walk, this time from Trevose head to Boobies bay. (Yes it is really called that.) We parked up near the lighthouse and had a packed lunch. (I got  flash for my birthday - old I know but seriously so useful!) 

Best view over lunch for a while.

The walk was very nice, along the cliffs beaches.

Giant pothole

The plan was to go to Boobies bay but we really should learn to check the tides and it was under water. So we continued onto Constantine Bay. The decision may have also been influenced by the fact there were toilets down there and an ice-cream truck. So we continued and sat on the beach for a while with ice-creams and hot drinks. (Don't knock it until you have tried it!)

Constantine Bay

Headed back

We did end up waking a little further than planned, a fact mom disliked intensely. 

But once home, we chilled out in the last of the days sun with dinner and a nice glass of wine.

Lanhydrock

Super slow at updating the blog at the moment so really behind. While down Cornwall, on one of the cloudy/rainy/windy days we went to Landyrock, an old National Trust house not far from the caravan. I took a few photos.

Awesome weather.

They knew how to have dinner.

Cutest glasses and I think Absinthe. 

A serious grill. (The bread oven took 4 days to heat up!)

A good knife collection.

One of the many dead animals

Billards (and a dead tiger) :(

But an awesome library!
