We're baaack!















We are back from our dreamy dreamy ten day holiday to the southwest of England. We went to Devon, Cornwall, and The Isles of Scilly.

It was a great trip, and we saw so many beautiful towns and villages. The helicopter ride to the Isles of Scilly was amazing, and the islands themselves were so beautiful and isolated.
















We ate A LOT of ice cream, and stayed in some nice and some not so nice bed & breakfasts.

Some highlights:

- Going to see Pirates of the Carribean in an old art deco movie theatre in Sidmouth
- Renting mountain bikes and getting covered in mud on Tresco Island
- Walking around the narrow beautiful streets of St Ives
- Seeing seals playing along the rocks from the helicopter
- Being away from work when temperatures here hit 36 degrees celcius
- Having a proper 'cream tea' with Devon cream
- Exploring Merlins' cave at King Arthurs Castle in Tintagel




I'll post some more pictures later, and will go into a bit more detail about the different places we went to, but must go and get caught up on some work right now!!
