Hi everyone,

Not had chance to update this the last few days, but then again we had to spend most of Day 5 in Lifton, where we’re staying whilst we wait for the car to finally get sorted. Then on Day 6 we went to the very beautiful Cardinham Woods. Here you can let the kids play in the play park whilst you have a lovely coffee and gain some energy whilst you go for the trek around the woods. We chose the shorter one, which at 3km is more than enough when you have 5 children with you, all under 6 years old! (Not all my children I must add!

Half way round our trek we came across a gorgeous stream where the kids could play and then back for lunch in the meadow.

Well for day 7 we are off in search of a beach that isnt too touristy, see you soon!

Hi Everyone!

So we went to http://www.newquayzoo.org.uk/ and what a fab day out! It was not how we expected a zoo to be as its all very close together. Which is brilliant if you have young children, as they don’t get so tired walking between enclosures. So here you can get your fix of Penguins, Lions, Meer Kats and more… The only off putting thing I would say about the zoo is that you have to pay for quite a pricey parking ticket as the car park is pay and display, something I would not expect when you have to pay over £30 for a family to come and visit.

Newquay itself was also a lot prettier than I expected and other places to visit there are the http://www.bluereefaquarium.co.uk/ and of course the beaches. Also if you want to look around Newquay and don’t fancy walking, why don’t you jump on the small trains that ferry the tourists around?! Something for the kids!

Tomorrow is going to be a day of looking for a nice beach, so see you soon!

Well the weather down here in Cornwall today is not the best, so decided to have a day in this beautiful very English little village, with milkshakes at the local farm shop http://www.liftonstrawberryfields.co.uk/ and raspberry picking to go with our tea!

Hopefully we might even get the rest of Molly's face painting washed off her face sometime this evening, then tomorrow, weather permitting the plan is to visit Newquay Zoo!

See you tomorrow!

Well here we are on our 2nd day here in the South West and have taken the family to the Miniature Pony Centre on Dartmoor. This is a fantastic day out for families with younger children as there are miniature ponies, guinea pigs, rabbits, face painting, indoor play  and more that the younger kids love. More details can be found here….  www.miniatureponycentre.com

This evening is looking beautiful and we have decided to sit back with a barbie whilst we decide where to go tomorrow, although we are thinking that strawberry picking could be a great idea!

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of visiting this area, we are in Lifton, Devon and it’s the perfect base  for Devon and Cornwall, as there are so many beaches and attractions less than an hours drive away. As well as the fact that its truly beautiful here. For somewhere to stay…… www.arundellarms.com

See you all tomorrow!!

So here we are in a little village called Lifton, OK so not technically in Cornwall, we are in fact in Devon. However Lifton is close to Cornwall that if we go a couple of miles down the road we will be in Cornwall!

It’s so beautiful here, there is no sound of traffic, just birds, fresh air and the sound of the kids laughing and playing in the garden. Although we nearly didn’t get here after an eventful journey where we had to get picked up by the AA and helped to our destination after our car decided it needed to break down on us! But heh ho, whats life if not exciting?

So tomorrow, we are off to the Miniature Pony Centre on Dartmoor. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for hot  weather so that we can all enjoy the horses and grounds, along with some lovely ice cream.

So until tomorrow….
