From Kent To Cornwall

As i scroll through my social media pages seeing what my friends have been up to and what they have planned, admittedly does make me slightly jealous. Being this far away from all my close friends does suck, I've lost my support network the ones i would normally lean on, but social media and technology keeps us in contact, and we  speak everyday, it's not the same as meeting up for coffee and cake, or going shopping, lunch trips and nights out the list goes on! I do feel cut of from everyone,only because where we live in a small village and it's kind of keep yourself to yourself, but i'm so happy the boys have made some lovely new friends that live along our little road, seeing them have fun out on there bikes and exploring makes my heart melt even when i am feeling cut off.

Exploring Bude Beach.... A place we had never been to in Cornwall until we moved, our usual areas where Hayle, St ives. Living up the top part of Cornwall has now opened a world to explore. . . With a beautiful beach, canal, sweet little shops and some lovely places to grab a drink or have some food it was certainty somewhere we wanted to visit. After what seemed like a life time trying to just get the kids in the car, we finally arrived and what a place. . . We took a walk down to the beach passing the canal where you can hire row boats and  pedalos, the boat restaurant which always seems to be busy, the kids love the beach as i'm sure do most. So off they went running towards the sea, what they didn't know is that me and mark had been there once before when we came to view this house. . . We stopped them in there tracks to show them the sea pool! this is fantastic i think a safer place for children to play, small children and non swimmers, of cour...
