I’m loving seeing some of our friends and family

I’m loving seeing some of our friends and family in Melbourne get out for brunches and chicken parmas (among other very important things) after 111 days in lockdown. Although the threat (need) of going back that way looms over the UK, I’ll take some pleasure in living vicariously through you guys. For a minute anyway 😜😭 #melbourne #brightonbeach #victoria #seeaustralia

*Am I cut out for blogging in 2020?* I’ve reall

*Am I cut out for blogging in 2020?*

I’ve really struggled to post anything on my blog or instagram page for the last few months and it’s not just because of lack of motivation. If I’m entirely honest with you, it’s out of fear. More and more I see my fellow content creators subject to comments and opinions that would constitute as harassment in any other space. As a travel blogger (edited to add a privileged white one at that!) I’ve largely avoided this kind of scrutiny - as far as I’m aware! - and was never too bothered by the odd negative comment disagreeing with where I chose to stay or eat. But 2020 has been a difficult year for everybody and having a online presence and trying to say the ‘right thing’ has felt almost impossible for me personally. I’ve wanted to write about more diverse topics than the 2 trips we did this year but I’m not sure my skin is thick enough to shoulder negativity about the way I look, or speak, or parent, or breathe! I understand that not everybody has to like you or what you do but I’ve got blogger friends - kind, honest, genuine women - who have to take social media breaks for the sake of their mental health because all these opinions about their lives can be difficult to live with. So I find myself holding back. Being a little less open, avoiding certain topics, second guessing my choice to keep blogging in 2020 in case I say the wrong thing and inadvertently invite the trolls in. I’m not even sure what the answer is. I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else felt the same. Maybe you have tips for dealing with these fears? I know I’ve built a lovely community of friends on here and it’s your support and advice that usually keeps me going!

Hello there! It’s been a bit of time since I pop

A perfect little slice of Cornish beach pie 🥧 😍 Who’s already making plans for next summer seen as this one wasn’t exactly what we had in mind?! #lovecornwall

Some of the Cornish fishing villages we’ve visit

Some of the Cornish fishing villages we’ve visited on this trip feel like they haven’t changed for hundreds of years. I’d love to explore more but some of the prettiest surprises are down long, winding, narrow roads that you can’t exactly whizz around! Do you have a favourite harbour or coastal town in Cornwall? I’m already compiling a list for our next trip! #mouseholecornwall #mouseholeharbour #lovecornwall

I couldn’t possibly imagine what attracts so man

I couldn’t possibly imagine what attracts so many artists to this region 😜 I spent this morning exploring some of the little galleries that dot St Ives and are filled with azure-coloured paintings of Cornwall. All around the area I’ve spied signs for open studios, seen brush-filled art supply shops and I watched an artist at work on the cliffs above Hayle earlier in the week. Our Airbnb hosts are independent publishers and part of the cabin we’re staying in forms their workshop. The next property along houses a potter. So do you think some of the creativity in the air will rub off on me?! 🙏😉 #stivescornwall #lovecornwall #visitstives

Gorgeous morning walk (well, run if you’re Miles

Gorgeous morning walk (well, run if you’re Miles aged 1) in Hayle. The tide goes out to reveal a massive expanse of sand with shallow pools around the estuary that are perfect for a toddler who just loves to run and splash about. It was such a joy to watch him spin and sprint and play with shells, not once having to scoop him up and enforce blasted social distancing. I think I’ve found the true meaning of a holiday in 2020! #hayle #haylestuary #cornwall #haylebeach

If you’re visiting St Ives I thoroughly recommen

If you’re visiting St Ives I thoroughly recommend using the Park & Ride at St Erth and hopping on the Scenic Bay Line. The journey takes just 10 minutes, with 1 stop at Carbis Bay, but it has the most beautiful views of the coastline and it only costs £4 return. There are 2 massive car parks at St Erth and we paid £3.90 to park for the day. (It has electric car charge points which is handy for us!) Trains run approximately every 30 minutes and even though it was a bank holiday we got a window seat on the 9.38. Currently you are required to wear masks on the platform and train and asked not to use aisle seats so there is 1 meter between different households. We booked tickets online in advance to save time on the day but you can buy on arrival too. It’s a lovely way to start a day exploring St Ives or relaxing on the beach at Porthminster as the train station is right next to the beach 🏖 🚂 #stives #scenicbayline #cornwall #stivestips #stivestrain
