Well I apologise for not keeping my Blog very up to date but I've been far too busy having a fab week camping in Cornwall! We stayed at 2 different campsites, the first was South Penquite Farm, it was a gorgeous working farm on Bodmin Moor, 15 miles from Padstow! On the first day my boyfriend and I cycled the 15 miles to Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant where we sank a bottle of wine and enjoyed the three course lunch menu before the long slog home! The mussels were, without doubt the best mussels I have ever tasted! Other culinary experiences involved making our own campfire and cooking the farms own organic lamb sausages and local butternut squash over it-very rewarding!!
In order to get to the showers at the campsite we had to share our route with the chickens, ducks and turkeys that casually walked around, and the sunset from our camping spot beat even the best hotel rooms!
We went body boarding in Polzeath and found the best surf snack shack called "Little Avalon", I'm still fantasising about their chocolate crunch cake, and their strawberry crushes and coco and banana milkshakes are to die for!
I loved driving up and down the winding roads picking up local produce left outside people's houses with an honesty box! We brought some duck eggs and home made jam and honey! The honey is delicious, you can buy it from the lady direct, (01841 521069) her husband is a bee keeper! I'm going to use the honey to make some of the infamous Rosie Lovell's flapjack!
