These are my pictures for Tara Cain's Gallery and the theme this week is Holidays.
My husband asked what I'd like to do for my 40th. I didn't fancy a big party so we escaped for a week to Cornwall to a beautiful cottage on the Roseland peninsula - one in a string of old farm worker's cottages secluded down a leafy lane, enshrouded in pink valerian.
It was our first holiday away with our daughter who was barely 6 months, but desperate to try a cornish pasty! This picture captures my surprise as she just lunged at it (luckily been a keen eater ever since!)
I didn't get a lie in on my birthday but was woken (very early) with a mug of tea, a glass of bubbly and a plate of french fancies, as chosen by my son (and mostly eaten by him!).
My abiding memory of the holiday is one of peace and quiet and sauntering from our cottage along the valerian lined lanes, across the fields ....
.... and down to this glorious, empty beach....
