Cornwall Rambling

We were staying in Mawgan Porth and where we were located was a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 30 min walk to the little village for a lovely cream tea.

Jumping for Joy!

I'm sure you can understand we've been a bit slow at mentally engaging with the hustle and dry bustle of London since we got back. The fresh air and space was so revitalising.

We Left Our Hearts in Cornwall

The Big One and I went to North Cornwall for a winter mini break last week, a little hibernate in a beautiful eco-cottage we rented for the week and it was heavenly.

 

With a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge to welcome us, we soon settled right in!

We cooked together, sat for hours just reading (him) and knitting (me), we went on long lovely autumnal walks, made fires each night and watched Breaking Bad, it was immense.

My latest knitting project - 100% Alpaca...sigh

Here are some of the dishes we cooked, they were so yummy sometimes I ate my portion all up before remembering to take a pic!

Spinach and Ricotta Canelloni

Apple Crumble and Custard

Sea Bass with a Tomato and Pepper Sauce with Spinach

Hearty stuff! We needed it for all the gorgeous walks we did - see the next post for pictures that do not do the place justice.
