Summer part 2 ~ Kingsands


My family booked a holiday cottage for a week in Kingsands, Cornwall.
And I have just returned home from a blissful week there with Sweet pea...It was such a beautiful old stone fisherman's cottage full of charm and stunning sea views...It is my favourite place to visit and I often get the local ferry boat there. Cawsands village leads to Kingsands up a hilly rock of stone cottages that overlook the sea.  It was lovely to have the family together and enjoy a night at the Rising Sun pub with a shanty choir.
In the evenings when Sweet pea and Rosie were tucked up in bed myself and Twinny would sit outside with a glass of bubbly and relax under the moonlight and the sound of the sea.  Most mornings were spent taking excited little'ns to the beach ~ They would run a head with squeeels of joy and beaming smiles...
I enjoyed dressing the wooden blue table outside with things found inside the cottage...


pebbled beaches...


Jumping in the brisky Cornish sea...


lots of wonderful stone cottages...


The blue of the sea...


Chasing waves, rock pooling, beach combing and gazing out the blissful sea view.


pebbles...


The evening tide...


The view of Cawsands bay...


Say 'CHEEEEEEEESE'....


Evenings outside under the moonlit sky...writing post cards and chatting.


Roses in the court yard.


Evening walks...


The blissful shoreline.


Kingsands...


Sun on the Sea.


Flowers from the Sea garden...


The dresser inside the cottage and blue beams.


I always feel a bit sad after a holiday...We had such a wonderful time- It was lovely to all be together.


Lots of sandy pants to wash...

Happy hol's,

  14. What a lovely place to visit. The cottage looks so pretty with its dresser and blue beams and your little pots of flowers. I love the way you dressed the little blue outdoor table and the picture of the cottage window with the flowers against the white washed wall is really pretty too. Sweet pea and Rosie look like they had a lovely time.

  18. Wow what a lovely post!

    Although obviously I wasnt there with you I still feel I caught the essence of your holiday.

    Looking at those pictures I was thinking I have to live in Corwall! One day...

    The cottage looks really dreamy such a pretty place to stay, and your evenings looked really magical. I can understand why you are feeling the holiday blues the week sounded so blissful.

    Happy washing of the sandy pants! lol

  33. Beautiful photos - I almost felt like I had been there with you!...and I love the fact that you send postcards - I think everyone should send postcards on holiday to keep the tradition alive but sadly so few people do now.

  34. Hi Kazzy,

    Such lovely photo's of Cornwall. Looks like you had some glorious weather too! We have been to Cornwall twice and enjoyed it very much too. Such a pretty part of England. The coastline is really breathtaking.

    Enjoy the rest of your holiday! School has started in Holland already :-(

  35. What a beautiful post my lovely! So glad you had a lovely break away with Sweetpea and your family. It looks like you had the most wonderful time. Your pictures are GORGEOUS!

    I am now coming down with the post holiday blues. There is is so much to do around the house I don't know where to start and I want to be by the sea again. Oh well, it was lovely to spend the time that I did there!

    I am slowly poking my feet back into blogging. I feel like I have been away for such a long time. It's very hard to catch up once you step outside the blogging bubble! Hopefully I will fond my blogging groove again!

    Have a super rest of a week Kazzy

    Take care my lovely friend................Nessa xxxxxxxxxxxx

  36. What a beautiful place - is this the getaway you mentioned?

    It looks like such a lovely place and how I dream about the coast - even though I live by the coast, but not all white washed and standing proud - just gorgeous.
