Autumn Holiday

We are now back from our holiday, which seemed to last forever! We have been away for nearly two weeks, which is the longest we have been away from home since Mr Bee was born, and even longer than that thinking about it. 

We had a lovely trip to Cornwall, then Papa and I headed north for the Christening of our Niece, Summer Daisy.

Our holiday started as it meant to go on, with rain. Unfortunately, it rained every day that we were on holiday, but we did make the most of it.

We began by visiting the Eden Project, as it is quite a distance from where we stay but is en route, so it worked quite well. Our only regret is getting there so late in the day.  You really do need a proper day to spend there, and we had to miss one of the biomes as there was a wedding there. 

bumblebee!

We had such a lovely time exploring, Mr Bee loved all the little paths where he could hide from us.

 I particually love this photo, of both of my boys pointing up at the WEEE man. We had our tickets validated into year passes so we shall definitely come back for the day when we return to Cornwall in May next year.

On Tuesday, we decided to make the most of a morning, which gave us a little bit of sun. It wasn't very warm and my it was blustery. But not wanting to miss an opportunity, we packed up and headed down to the beach. Mr Bee wasn't too sure on going in the sea this time, even though he had loved it when we were here last. Papa Bee wasn't shy though and got straight in.

Bond-esque!

I adore this photograph

Building a wall to save Mr Bee from the sea! Complete with moat.

Surfs up!

 We didn't do much else on our holiday, nothing that really warrants photos. We did visit Tregnwainton Gardens, but that is for another post :)

 And we also visited St Michaels Mount, but it was so foggy that you couldn't see anything. This was about the best picture I could get...! Unfortunately, then my battery wore out so I couldn't get any more photographs. I am sure we will go again though, if only for the delicious lunch that we had in the cafe! Mmm!

After a 5 1/2 hour journey home to Leicester, we piled our clothes in to the washing machine, ordered a takeaway and got re-packed and ready to head off to Burnley for the second leg of our holiday!
We arrived with plenty of time for Papa to get ready for the Christening (Louie and I were dressed and ready for traveling but Papa didn't want to drive in his suit) and we arrived at the church promptly.
After finding our seats in the church, along with the rest of the congregation, we were only told that we had ALL come to the wrong church!
Anyway, there were some crossed wires when organising the event but we all made it over to the correct church. However the Vicar had gone home! We got hold of him though, and the Christening went ahead. Poor little Summer Daisy will have a tale to tell when she is older.

The rest of our time in the north was spent relaxing, which was lovely. Mr Bee got to play with his Auntie Elle a lot which gave me a bit of a rest. Grandma Jojo took us shopping on the Tuesday and we got Mr Bee some new trousers for Autumn /Winter and some jeans for myself (as my favourite jeans have ripped in the knee now, so I replaced them with the same new pair, how I love Gap jeans! They lasted me for 4 years!)
Alas now we are home now, and back to work! We also have some visitors over from Ireland, our cousins, which is lovely. But they have ventured up to Bradgate with my Uncle so today we are having a lovely quiet and relaxing day of baking :)

Its good to be home
