Once in awhile, it's does a person good to hit the road and get out of the big smoke (Swansea - ha!). Even better when this escape to the country includes spending time with wonderful family and adventures on the high seas. And ice cream!
On a beautiful sunny morning, we headed down to the harbour, packed up the boats with supplies and set out onto the creek. We pootled about (a technical term and one the sailors in my family would probably kill me for...) and then headed to one of our favourite family spots, the Pandora Inn.
Tucked away and surrounded by the most beautiful views, the Pandora is a real treasure. In the winter, imagine roaring fires and comforting food - in the summer, drinks in the sunshine and small boats bobbing alongside the inn's very own pontoon. We love it.
After enjoying our time on land, we waved goodbye to the boats and set off back home on foot. Having built up quite an appetite stomping through the countryside, there really was only one way to reward ourselves on our arrival - proper Cornish pasties! There was even a chance to look at a slightly 'bigger' seafaring vessel!
The only upside to being so far away from our lovely family is that we get to spend time together in this beautiful part of the world. Yay for long weekends, summer sun and adventures in Cornwall!
