Hello strangers : ) I'm back from what seems like an infinite holiday in Cornwall, feeling relaxed, summery and addicted to ice cream. It was a break full of contrasts really, sunshine and rain, health and glutton [a banana balances out all unhealthiness in my book] but all in all it was great to go back to one of our favourite parts of England and see that nothing's changed. It's always comforting to be able to go somewhere familiar, and whilst I'd love nothing more than to hop on board a plane to anywhere in the Med right now, spending some lazy days with the family in non other than sunny England seemed to be just what the Dr ordered.
We walked, we tootled along country lanes, watched films and read books [which for me was a rekindling of love for my childhood favourite Stargirl. I'm not even ashamed....much] and I finally got a chance to do my nails a la Gem. Basically it was one big pause, a chance to stop the ride, chill out and forget about everything before starting to climb that last hill this term. I'm so ready to let go of it all, stick on my shades and dance around to this...
...bring on the sunshine!

lovely photos. i can't believe you were in cornwall, thats where i am! where abouts did you go? xx
Sounds like a lovely little get away! Your nails look fab, I definitely want to learn to polka dot my nails! xx
I've been hearing good stuff about cornwall this week; everyone seems to have been there or they are there! Your blog is lovely by the way, inspired me to do the marble nails! It's messy but it looks pretty weirdly awesome. I agree about the fruit to balance out the bad stuff. I had 3 chocolates the other day and then an apple! It's all good.
Lovely photos!xox
your nails look fab! making me crave chocolte though.... ;)
That looks like a fabulous week, the sun, the fooood, and those nails are gorgeous. Glad you had a lovely trip away, refreshed and ready to kick off again. 45 more days until I'm done and now 55 days until my holiday. All these trips are only serving to intensify my need to count down to my own.

Your photos have left me jealous that this year I am not going away anywhere :( And now I also crave chips.... haha. I do love Cornwall though, I'd love to live right next to a beach in a touristy town and just be proud to be a local (:

Oh shit those chips.

PS your nails look awesome! I used to try and get the same effect using tippex pens when i was a kid. I failed.
Really wonderful photographs. The weather is so glorious at the moment that I cannot help but wonder when the bubble will burst! Make the most of it while it's here eh? I walked around our local botanical gardens today, burying my head in the blossom trees. One bee wasn't very happy and I got chased...

Your summary literally made me sit bolt upright in nostalgic half panic asking 'where the hell is my copy of Stargirl?!?!' I loved that book!
Alas, I cannot find it :(
I know this is a couple of months late but I hope you enjoyed your holiday :)
