July 2012 St Ives

Back as promised!!!! And wow...St Ives went beyond our expectations! Our house for the week had the best view ever!!! Overlooking the beautiful Portmeor beach! Staying in St Ives this time gave us a totally different experience - we barely left the whole week! We had everything we needed at our doorstep! Ahhhhh.....I love you Cornwall <3

Glenshee Feb 2012

 Three nights in a remote village in Scotland was my first taste of a ski-ing holiday. Within driving distance of Glenshee, this short break turned out to be fantastic! Arriving at 10pm on the Friday evening, we were welcomed with a hot dinner and glass of wine - it was a great start to the weekend. As predicted, the snow fell on Saturday but a few hours too soon leaving us house bound for our first day - but it did not spoil the fun. As a novice ski-er I was secretly relieved to be given a day playing around in a nearby field familiarising myself with ski-boots and other alien bits of kit!..whilst the others built ramps and obstacles to speed over! After digging ourselves out the following day we made it up to Glenshee where we spent the next two days on the slopes. The sky was beaming and every one of us had so much fun! I was absolutely shattered by the end of it, but felt great - sunkissed and smitten!
