This Easter, we went on a family holiday to Cornwall with my boyfriend, Aiden. Normally we would go in the Summer, but Easter wasn't as busy and although some days were a bit windy, the weather was generally good. We stayed in an absolutely gorgeous holiday apartment called
Poldhu in St Mawes, which was literally the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. St. Mawes itself is small, however it has good links to places, and has all the necessities - a pub, shop, castle and a ferry to Falmouth. Oh, and it's also beautiful.

On our first day we took the ferry to Falmouth, which takes about 20 minutes.

While there we looked in the shops and had the best cream tea of the holiday at
The Cornish Bakery where we also had a hazelnut hot chocolate (gutted we didn't get to go again).
We took a trip to the
Eden Project which was amazing, although very hot in the rainforest dome! It was so cool to see the waterfall and walk across the rope bridge. The shop was great as well, and if I lived closer, I'd have bought so many plants.

The highlight of the entire holiday was going to the
Minack Theatre. It's a stunning outdoor theatre located right on a cliff edge overlooking the sea, where my parents performed almost 30 years ago with their acting company. Absolute dream to have a play performed there (please let it happen!) Again, maybe because of the time of year, it wasn't too busy and was so peaceful and beautiful. Genuinely one of my favourite places in the world.

We went to
St. Michael's Mount which looks so cool. Unfortunately, we went towards the end of the day and were told the castle was closing soon so we
raced to the top of the mount (which is hard enough just walking up). It has such lovely views!

We walked to St. Anthony's Head lighthouse, although it was a hard walk, and saw such beautiful views.

We also went kayaking, which was great until Aiden fell in and I had to flip the kayak single-handed, while my dad floated around us in hysterics.

It was such a lovely holiday and I wish I could go back right now.
