Today was a beaut. Instead of following the rain, $Today was a beaut. Instead of following the rain, we followed the #breeze. Well, it was actually gale force winds which stopped us from walking, they were that strong at some points. We took to Ilfracombe this afternoon. We had a wander around, played on the beach and had a yummy ice cream. Blue skies all around. It was a welcomed delight. We then took a drive to Coombe Martin and had a little nose around. It’s nice to be able to have the opportunity to visit lots of beautiful places around the Devon coast. Isn’t it funny that this morning, Isla and I went to Barnstaple to get waterproof trousers and this afternoon we didn’t need them. My plan is to wear them all week and then hopefully it won’t rain anymore 🤣 #mummyphotoaday ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #travelingwithkids #halftermholidays #travelwithkids #visitdevon #cottageholiday #mummyconstant #halfterm #photooftheday #picoftheday #familylife #thisisdevon #familytravel #dramaticdevon #englishcottage #devon #northdevoncoast #madaboutdevon #familytraveltribe #cosycottage #autumn #familyblogger #ukexplore #visitengland #devoncoast #exploredevon #daysoutwithkids #octoberhalfterm$

We managed to get down to the beach and have a blissful walk in the Autumn sunshine. Well, that was for all of 30 minutes.

It went from this beautiful scene to dark and grey. Rain shower number 1 was quick and heavy. Inescapable rain. My feet were soaked through, where it had dropped off the back of my coat and made its way down my legs, via my leggings. My wellies had Squlechy puddles. That is my unfavourite!! 🤣

At this point, the kids were also soaked from their chasing waves game and the dogs too. Rambo shivered violently at my feet and so we took to some rocks for shelter.

After 15 mins it stopped. So we carried on walking. Sun shining once again. Wind drying off out waterproof jackets.

We made it to nearly the other side of Woolacoombe Beach (which for anyone that’s been will know how far that is) and then we hit a hail storm.

It was not fun. We turned back, walking with the wind thankfully. Zipped up to the chin, heads down and power walked back to the car.

All in all, we managed 2 hours of fresh air and about 3 miles. So not too bad but we were all soaked.

I fear this might be a pattern for the week; wet walk and back home to the log fire to dry off.

It was worth it for this half an hour of fun and the chance to #explore one of our favourite beaches again.

Our half term view 🥰 oh Devon, you are so beaut

Our half term view 🥰 oh Devon, you are so beautiful. It’s so lovely to find somewhere #new to explore. The weather does look appalling for the week; but it would have been back in Cambridgeshire too. So we are going to embrace the hills, coastal paths and beaches.

We have water proofs, hats, welly socks and lots of layers. Hopefully we won’t be too soggy. It looks like we have lots of land to explore from the cottage too. This is the view from our bedroom.

The cottage is on a farm, there’s a big barn and outbuildings. It looks lovely. I can’t wait to show you it tomorrow. We met the resident barn cat too. Apparently she lives in the barn and eats all the mice!

Oh and it has a log burner. I cannot wait to get that going tomorrow. I love the smell of a log burning fire. It’s our criteria when searching for holiday cottages.

Fresh air. Adventures. And lots of puddles. I think we all need this break.

October 23 is a good day, not only because it’s

October 23 is a good day, not only because it’s my uncles birthday but it’s also our anniversary.

This time 13 years ago I embarked on a journey with this man who has given me some incredible memories. He’s also given me things that I simply couldn’t do on my own. Like getting married and making a #family.

He makes me proud with everything he does. He takes on things whole heartedly and always puts every effort in to it.

He’s taught me how to snowboard, kayak, put a tent up and photography to name a few skills. However, it’s what he’s taught me through observation that I love the most: kindness, humility and his ability to make people smile.

Some days are stressful. Some days are tough. But we always end up having a laugh at the end of it. That’s what is important to me.

I’m grateful for these 13 years.

Here she is; my fabulous fireplace. I adore it. I’ve really enjoyed styling it up with all the Autumnal goodness. I bought the large #pumpkin from @vintagepeonieinteriors and the smaller ones from Tiger in Cambridge. The oak beam is from @funkychunkyfurniture - I chose this as you can specify colour and size, so we got the mantle that we wanted. I would highly recommend them if you’re looking for shelves. (Not an ad).

The candle and diffuser is from @sensoryphilosophy. It smells amazing in our living room.

I just have to finish the skirting board off and replace the carpet at some point and the living room is nearly done. I do want Victorian style cupboards/shelves in each recess but no rush for that.

I can’t stop staring at the fireplace! It’s just perfect, snuggling in the living room just got more cosy...

What’s your favourite thing to do in Autumn?

I love this photo. It was quite a #grey day but it was dry, which was perfect. It’s such a fantastic place to visit, the building is just incredible. It was built in 1703, can you imagine how many things the walls have seen. Oh if they could talk! Originally it was known as Buckingham House.

I love finding out about the history of the monarch, I love period dramas that give you some insight into how the families have lived over the years. Like Victoria. I loved that show.

The first monarch to live here was King George III, he bought the property in 1761. He bought it for Queen Charlotte. It became known as the Queen’s house.

Then Queen Victoria, in 1837, became the first monarch to live here as it is known now: the monarch residence and Buckingham Palace.

It has been subject to a German bombing, public riots and when Prince Albert died it was neglected for many years. Thankfully, Queen Victoria returned to it and carried on filling it with court functions.

It has 775 rooms, including: 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, 78 bathrooms, 52 principal bedrooms and 19 state rooms. Oh and it has a cinema, swimming pool, Post Office, doctor’s surgery and jeweller’s workshop. It’s amazing.

I’d love to walk around it one day. Especially to see the state rooms, the ballroom looks incredible.

Does anyone else love finding out the history of buildings like this?
