Cornwall rocks

Last week I spent a lovely week in Cornwall relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere of this lovely part of the country.

It's the first time back down that way since I was a young 'un and it did not dissapoint.  Our base was a lovely farm cottage (complete with hot tub, oh yes!) and we spent the week travelling around this area taking in some lovely places - Penzance, Mousehole, St Ives, Falmouth, St Mawes and Padstow.

My favourites were St Ives and Padstow, the craft, kiddy and gift shops were simply amazing and hours were spent wandering round the shops, taking in a coffee and people watch and devouring the amazing seafood.  Heaven?  I think so.

Mousehole (pronounced Mousell...I think)

The only dissapointing part of the week was a trip to Lands End - an expensive and tacky tourist trap which felt completely out of place for the area.  With hindsight this probably should have been expected - shame really though.

It's back to it now - the internet in the studio is working again now after a few weeks of, well, not.  I've got some orders to get out this week and preparation for a craft fair in the coming weeks - all go!

Lyndsey,
