North Cornwall Part 2

Arriving with a half hour to spare before meeting up with family in Rock we raced around to Polzeath for a quick recce.

North Cornwall Part 1

"Where shall we go"? - was the big question? "Devon" someone piped up, "Northumberland", another suggested..., "Cornwall?", "Yorkshire?".... Britain is so lovely at this time of year we are spoilt for choice but as some family were already going to North Cornwall and were urging us to join them, North Cornwall it was. 

And what a good decision it turned out to be! 

Rockingham International Horse Trials 2015

It's the Rockingham International Horse Trials time again! Hooray! 

It has been held in the grounds of Rockingham Castle over the past 3 years and I happily discovered it for the first time last year!

Coton Manor Gardens Bluebell Wood

What an unforgettable afternoon! Bluebells as far as the eye can see. Breathtaking! 

I'd spent a magical few hours at Coton Manor Gardens in Northamptonshire, where at this time of year there's a wood full of bluebells in amongst the most wonderful garden.  

Gluten Free Lime Cake

As someone who can't eat wheat, living with my wheat-eating family can be a little challenging, especially when it comes to baking. 

However, this gluten-free lime cake recipe is one that we all enjoy as it is absolutely gorgeous and everyone who tastes it has no idea it is gluten free. 

It is light, tangy and very moreish and has been added to my list of favourite gluten-free cakes.

The Bakers Arms Thorpe Langton

I'm always on the hunt for warm, friendly, cosy country pubs with top notch food and service and The Bakers Arms in Thorpe Langton has to be one of my favourites!

Lambs!

It's lambing time! Hoorah!  

I was lucky enough to visit a local farm at the weekend to see these cute animals up close and personal. What a treat!

Donning wellies and wrapping up warm against the icy wind, my family and I excitedly made our way towards the sound of bleating in the distance.
