Holiday planning

I am so excited as just after Easter we are off to Cornwall for a week. I have never been before and I can't wait to explore the quaint villages and beautiful coastline. Then  I decided that we had to also go back to Tenby and booked a week to South Wales for late summer, once the kids have gone back to school. One of the benefits of home education is cheaper holidays! Being able to go away when we please means we save a fortune on the cost of our family breaks and have money for our holiday wardrobe instead.

With that in mind, I started this week and bought Little Bird some gorgeous items for our Spring break - navy jacket, fun t-shirts, cute pumps and trousers. A good start and I will be keeping my eye out for some bright and practical items for him to wear whilst running along beaches, dipping into rock pools and exploring the Cornish ports and harbours.

For myself I like smart clothes with a practical element so will be looking at a new pair of shiny wellies, pretty sweaters and a posh new coat, maybe a classy Barbour jacket. A coat that looks so smart and will keep me dry when the rain pours, as I'm sure it will on our fabulous UK holiday.

We are staying in Perranporth which looks stunning and I'm putting together a list, as I always do of things we absolutely have to do. Have you been? Any recommendations? So far I have the boating lake and its surrounding gardens, the golden beach and smugglers caves and the sand dunes. Hopefully we will get to sample lots of local cafes and plenty of Cornish ice cream.
