Enchanting


We left London Friday evening, made a stop in Bristol to visit our dear friends, then headed for the Cornish coast.  There is a beauty to this part of the world that I can not explain if you have never been here.

The hedges were fresh with spring leaves that curl over the roads that make it seem like you are driving through tunnels made of leaves.   Right when you think that it can't get any more magical, you come out of the tunnel and see patchwork fields of green, or golden road, or English lavender....absolutely magical.

Even though we didn't arrive here until later in the evening, Kev insisted that we walk down to the beach before bed time.  The beach and the sea were ours.  My Littles managed to jump and splash in every tide pool despite the temperatures that were less than what one would expect for May.

Today we ambled around town, tasting our favorite Cornish things and seeing our favorite Bude places.

I've so been looking forward to being able to just amble, to have no obligations, to just be with my family with out a to-do list in front of us.

Enchanting.

Grace and Peace
