What a wonderful week we had in Cornwall, with not a single wet day and gorgeous sunshine each and every day. I have been going to Cornwall for years and this is the first time we have crossed the Tamar Bridge in sunshine and the first time we have had good weather all week. We spent lots of time with my friend Wendy & Becky who live there, on the beach. Georgia went body boarding. We went to The Eden Project on Friday in the sunshine, and as we left on Saturday lunchtime..the sky was clouded and there was a little rain... I cannot believe we picked a good week. We have come home with lovely tans, I look like I have been abroad as my face is tanned too...

I will be back a little later with a couple of pics....and also my Anyone for Anya? card.
