We live in a world where we tend to be glued to our iPhones, iPads, Laptops and TV screens. I definitely spend far too much time looking at screens - in both work and play. I'm always looking for new hobbies that don't involve the internet, social media or screens, as I know I'll feel better, stop time wasting (we've all refreshed Facebook multiple times just in case everyone's uploaded in the last minute...) and probably even sleep a little better.
The other day I took the time to flick through a copy of Country Living, with a cup of tea and slice of cake and it was delightful. Firstly, Country Living makes me feel like I want to live in a cosy country house, have a huge garden full of wild flowers and home grown fruit & veg and pick up the next National Trust membership... (Granny alert and proud!) But secondly, I took that time to switch off and zone out from the online world and to read interesting articles and admire the stunning photography.
My issue is, I don't always think about picking up a magazine on a food shop, until after, when I'm at home and wishing I'd thought about it earlier, which is where a magazine subscription service comes in. When magazine.co.uk got in touch, I thought their easy and affordable magazine subscription service sounded like a great way to subscribe to some new magazines, so they'd arrive on my doorstop every time there's a new issue.
Being the UK's leading magazine subscription website, magazine.co.uk have so many fantastic magazines to choose from. Vogue & Glamour for the fashionistas, Good Food & Baking Heaven for the foodies and Country Living & Ideal Home for the interior obsessed. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for a new glossy magazine to be on the doorstop each week!

With it being the start of summer and a trip to cornwall always being on the cards, Lucy, her mum, Anna, My mum and myself took ourselves off for a little trip to the seaside.
Anna and Lucy have the cutest cottage down there, so the four of us stayed there.

After a long afternoon of travelling the first place we hit was the pub for food.
It was gooo-od, as I said in a previous post any burger with gherkins on is good enough for me, so this one went down very well!
But the dessert. Oh boy, the most amazing sticky toffee pudding ever.
It was like eating a toffee flavoured cloud.
So light and drenched in toffee sauce.
Try and resist licking the screen. I know, it's hard...

We ventured to the Lost Gardens Of Heligan (Separate blog post to follow!)
Then after, we hit the beach!
Luce and I booked a surf lesson for Day Three. I have ALWAYS wanted to learn to surf!
We tried to convince the mums to have a kayak lesson... they weren't having any of it!
We retreated back to the cottage (after some food & clothes shopping...) for a bbq and a night in.

We visited Wheal Kitty. So beautiful and picturesque.
The bright blue sky reflected on the sea making it a gorgeous deep blue which faded into a beautiful turquoise.
What a beauty Luce is!
Just look at the colour of the sea!
Makes me want to just dive right in!
Just posing on a cliff, because we can!
The rest of the day continued with a surfing lesson!
We had water up our noses, salt in our hair and a hell of a lot of laughs.
'If in doubt, paddle out!'
We had such a lovely instructor and we both had the best time. I'd recommend Breakers Surf School to anyone in St Agnes wanting to learn!
The evening was spent watching England (lose) in the World Cup at the pub, then drowning our sorrows in that sticky toffee pudding!
D a y F o u r = hometime!
