Hi friends! Just popping in to share some photos from a recent trip we took. Miles had two weeks off from work (all the F1 teams shut down for two weeks in August). We spent one of those weeks down in Cornwall (the very southern tip of England). St Ives is an old fishing village that's sort of turned into a resort town, but still holds lots of the old fishing village charm. Not to mention there were some of the best beaches in Great Britain nearby! We stayed in a little bed & breakfast that was a two minutes walk to the beach in one direction, and a five minute walk into town in the other direction.

If you follow me on
Instagram, you've already seen this last set of photos. We spent most of every day on the beaches of St Ives. Tess is in love with digging in the sand with her shovel.
Miles is back to work today, so it's back to our hum drum schedule for Tess and me. I may check in later this week with a pregnancy update. Happy Monday!

Looks just wonderful, love the muted colors in these! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photos. I love the muted colours- did you get much sun at all?
ReplyDeleteSt Ives is a wonderful place, had a very happy holiday there last year.
Beautiful photos! Tess is darling!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, Kris! I would just die to go to that cemetery! And I love how beautiful the photos look in the rain. One of my favorites is that one of Miles and Tess walking down the steep hill. Tess in her bright raincoat is just too picture-perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your post this morning! Love the quaint street views. Hope all is well with the little bundle!

Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Kris!! And such a nice surprise to see you back in this space :) Cornwall is one of those places I have always dreamed of visiting - along with Devon. So thank you for sharing you lovely visit - it really does seem to have a bit of magic about it that you have captured in your photographs. I especially love the cemetery picture - it looks very spiritual and unusual overlooking the sea as it does. Really, really beautiful though - I hope you will get that camera of yours out more often!! Also - isn't St. Ives known for its arts community? Curious if you had a look in any galleries?
ReplyDeleteThe view of the harbor is lovely with the city on the foggy hillside
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sounding trip.
That Tess and those curls are stunning. XOXO
Great pics! We stayed there a couple years ago and you've captured St Ive's perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great surprise to see my favorite place on earth, in your blog today - I am going there the last week of September, and have been pouring over where to stay for the week. Would you be able to share which B&B you stayed in? I am looking at that kind of accommodation, and self catering cottages as well. We lived in England for 6 years and return frequently. Thank you for the pics!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!

Chris --- We stayed at Lord Ryans B&B. It was budget, but clean and good quality place. Our room had a little kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and sink.

Hope you enjoy your stay in St Ives!
I missed your beautiful photos. :) Oh my, look at those curls, they are the sweetest thing! <3
ReplyDeleteWe did the same route as you a few years ago - your photos capture it beautifully. I just love Cornwall and its special feel.
ReplyDeleteI want to invite you to my upcoming 'Blogger's Tea' on Oct 2nd in London. I'd love to meet you there! Details on my blog :)
Have a great day! XOL
