Newquay
I've just got back from an amazing two weeks spent with my boyfriend Jamie and my Dad in Newquay in Cornwall. I love Newquay so much and it brings back so many childhood memories from all of our family camping holidays. Having had two years away from the place I couldn't wait to get there and was excited about the holiday for months! Jamie was excited too as he had never been to Cornwall before and I was looking forward to showing him loads of places! This year didn't fail to impress and surprise me and we had a fun filled (and exhausting) holiday! The main reason for going was to go to the boardmasters surf, skate, bmx and music festival. We got to spend a whole weekend chilling and relaxing in the sunshine watching the surf competition and listening to some really cool bands, it was perfect!
During our second week we decided to book a surf lesson, something that I've always wanted to do. It was so much fun and our instructor said that we picked it up really quickly, managing to ride a few waves each! We went on a 11 mile bike ride along the camel trail, a disused railway line, from Padstow to Wadebridge, went to the Healey's Cyder farm where they make the famous rattler cyder and went skatboarding, allowing Jamie to be reunited with his teenage hobby and for me to attempt to stay on the skateboard for more than five seconds!
The whole vibe of Newquay is chilled and relaxing and I love all of the little shops that sell little trinkets and the cool cafes hidden away down tiny streets that do tonnes of veggie and gluten free food! A particular favourite of mine is Cafe Irie with its mix matched furniture, funky decorations, retro magazines, chilled out atmosphere and amazing food!
The two weeks went way too quickly and I cannot wait to go back again. Cornwall is such a beautiful place and theres just something about it that makes me feel feel at home. Hopefully one day I'll get to live there, wishful thinking...
