WIP Wednesday.

 Yes, I succumbed to this year's MKAL. I even went and bought a kit

I knew before I started that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the weekly clues, I have to work to earn the money to feed my yarn addiction. 

I also appreciated that I maybe might not like this mystery knit, but if that's the case the yarn will make a very nice sweater!

But as we are just about to enter week 3, here's my progress to date on clue 1, i'm very slow.

I actually really like it; I know what's going to happen with all those gappy loopy bits and I love it. You never know I may have completed this central section by next Wednesday, so you'll get to see it too.

 Clue 2 however I am not sure about, and clue 3 is out tomorrow so If I don't like how it's progressed, I may rethink what I'm knitting.   

Watch this space.......

A weekend at Uphill.

Yep, another blooming trip post. Now you can see why I've not been blogging much, I've been working all week and galivanting off at Weekend's... 

The weekend before last we went down to Uphill Marina campsite, This is local to us, about a 45-minute drive away. It's a very well-kept site and again on coastal paths. Can you see a theme with my weekends away?

We arrived on Saturday just after lunch and after we had set up we walked into the nature reserve and up to uphill fort.

We then went into the old church of St Nicholas and walked down into Uphill village. 

 

Back on site we were treated to a lovely sunset.

Sunday was walk into Weston day, we wanted to go and look at 'See Monster'

We didn't go on as there was a que and also it was metal grating and Rosies little paws would probably have fallen through some of the gaps.  It was quite a spectacle though. After a good walk around, we headed down the beach in search of a coffee and some lunch.

Then it was back off to site for another lovely relaxing evening.

This was our penultimate weekend away. There is just one more adventure in Stan before he hibernates for the winter. Unless of course we have a mild winter then we may well brave some weekends away.

A weekend at Heligan, Cornwall.

 Sorry for another trip post but I'm still catching up.

A week after we got back from Whitby & Scarborough we headed down to Cornwall for a weekend. I have been wanting to go to the Lost gardens of Heligan for a while and hubby found a campsite right next door. 

The site was perfect and had a path right down to Mevagissey and was a walk across the lane into the gardens. Ideally situated.

Our first evening we just relaxed and explored the site with Rosie dog. As the weather was due to be good on the Saturday we decided to walk down into Mevagissey.

We walked out along the pier and decided to jump on a boat for a quick coast ride, giving Rosie her first ever boat trip !

As usual she was really good and seemed to enjoy it. Off of the boat we had fish and chips, and Rosie had a sausage! 

Mindful of her little legs and the long uphill climb back to site we hopped onto a bus. 

Sunday, we set off to see the gardens. I was not disappointed.

You could walk all day and not see all of the gardens. I thought it was fabulous and would definitley go back. There was a lovely farm shop there as well, so we bought some lovely goodies to take home for our dinner.

And just like that another weekend was over. A weekend well spent and worth working all week for!
