This Easter I went to Bude, in the North of Cornwall for our family break.We stayed in a lovely house with a hot tub, within a working farm! The cows mooed constantly, the chickens pecked outside, and we had cats meowing outside the kitchen window (I am allergic to them so I was not letting them in).
It was a fantastic family holiday where we walked, played board games, saw beautiful new places, and even saw new life being born!

Eden Project
The first day trip was to the Eden Project.The site itself is fantastic and I was impressed by the facilities, activities for children, food, service, and views.
I even did an assault course - on a bouncy castle, nothing too strenuous!
It is amazing what an idea can start... the people who built and thought of this project should be thrilled!
Tintagel

| Look out for those rocks... |

| I was terrified going down... |
Stunning views, which unfortunately nearly scared me to death at times due to my fear of heights, were all around and I could not even begin to imagine how the place was fortified and used hundreds of years ago.
Human beings (some of them anyway) really are capable of magic...
Beaches

| Surfer dude! |
I never imagined there would be SO many surfers in April in England!It is obviously a massive sport in Cornwall and I took some great shots of them over some decent sized waves.
If the water had been warmer I would have joined them, but funnily enough I was happy to sacrifice myself and watch!
Ha ha...
The Big Sheep - Devon
 |
| New life born in front of us! |
Since we had children in tow, (aged 7, 12 & 13) we had to visit a theme park and we decided to go to The Big Sheep in Devon!
We had a great day and even managed to watch a live birth... the kids thought it was disgusting!
My daughter & I did the egg hunt and got some prizes for our efforts - they did not make it easy!
A fantastic show rounded up the day... loved the sheep with the dreadlocks!

| The Big Sheep - Fantastic day out.. |
We arrived in the morning and were one of the last to leave. We made the most of the visit and loved it! I am glad we had no more buggies or young children - makes life so much easier...
We ate some Cornish pasties, did some sightseeing, relaxed and spent time together as a family. Perfect!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
Thank you to the family in Scorsham Farm in Bude
Luxury accommodation... :)
What a lovely holiday, Vanessa! The Eden Project sounds great as does the Big Sheep. As you know, I love sheep! Great photos too!
