Returning from a holiday often leaves me feeling strangely frazzled - so much work to catch up on, so many emails to answer, clothes to unpack and wash... But every now and then, I'm lucky enough to experience a break that's truly refreshing and restorative. One such getaway came a couple of weekends ago, when I was invited to Sisterhood Camp by the lovely people at Visit Wales. Part of a . . .
A misty day on the Cornish coast
There's something about being by the coast that feeds the soul, no matter what the weather. To round off my posts from our recent minimoon in Cornwall, here's a selection of photos which I took in Mousehole and Sennen Cove on a hauntingly beautiful May morning, when mist shrouded the cliffs, waves crashed on the shore, and we had the windswept sands almost entirely to ourselves... . . .
