Cornwall - Part TWO!

I was so excited, I couldn't wait to post Part TWO of our Cornwall holiday!  On Day three we hit the roads and did a mini tour of north Cornwall.  



Port Isaac was our first stop - it is one of the more popular places to visit as an English tv show Doc Martin was filmed there.




It was another beautiful day, so we didn't mind stopping for a cup of tea by this cracking view.

Following that, we travelled up to Trebarwith Strand.  It was what looked like a tiny little beach near Tintagel, but when we actually got out to explore we saw it was a massive stretch complete with rock pools, pirate caves and about a hundred surfers!  As the sun was hiding, we decided to explore the caves.





I couldn't help having a little splash in the water (freezing water, I should add!) before we left.

We then headed north to Boscastle - famous for PASTIES!  Being a vegetarian, I never get to try the exciting flavours, but you can't go wrong with a good old vegetable pasty.  



I have never seen the tide so low in Cornwall - usually this area is completely covered in water!

When we returned to Bude we thought we had better make the most of the sunshine and had fish and chips and a halloumi salad on the beach.  We brought some Blue Moon (YAY to this being sold in the UK!) - the recipe for a perfect evening if you ask me!



It's only fair to point out that following this photo we were wiped out by a massive wave and I only just managed to jump up with the camera.  


But seriously....how is THAT for a sunset!  The beach at Widemouth Bay will always hold a special place in my heart as that is where Rich proposed - BBQ on the beach, bowls (bocce) and bonfires!

Here's to many more Cornwall holidays!

Happy Friday!

When I got home from work, B had the *brilliant* idea to BBQ in the back garden!

It feels like summer is here, and as it is such a rarity in England, we thought we would make the most of it. 


One of our guilt pleasures is Blue moon. It reminds us both of America - me, for the whole homesickness cure, and B because it just reminds him of the rockin' time we had back home this year. Lucky us found it in Sainsbury. This prompted me announcement that we would "become beer drinkers."


B made halloumi and pineapple - my absolute favourite. The last time we had this was on our engagement night on a beach in Cornwall. 



For a side, I made quinoa salad with sweet corn, soya beans, green beans, quorn chicken and pomegranate seeds. A little bit of honey and a dash of salt and pepper on this bad boy and we had a gorgeous meal! 


I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday!  Happy weekend!
