Good food, good music and good vibes - A week in Sennen

This August I spent a week in Sennen Cove Cornwall with all of my family. We stayed in a beautiful large house with sea views and an easy walk down to the beach. 

Sunset walks down to Sennen beach

From Sennen Cove beach we had the best seat in the house of the beautiful evening sunsets. It was a panoramic view of gorgeous reds, oranges and yellows intertwining with wisps of fluffy clouds. Such a perfect sight matched with perfect weather!

Porthcurno Beach

Porthcurno beach beholds one of the most unique seas you will ever see. Apart from the crystal clear water and the exfoliating sand grains, the sea is like a pool!  Although there is no surf, all the kids really enjoyed running and diving into it! A couple of steps into the water and you’re plunged down, into the depths of the sea. As I mentioned before the sand was really exfoliating; it started to hurt my feet after awhile, but once my feet were dry they were SO soft. NOTE: The reason my feet were hurting was because the current in the sea was so strong when coming out I really had to scramble up (but it was worth it, haha)

Living off the land (well sort of)

The house we were staying at had a short coastal walk down to the beach. The paths were full of blackberry brambles with the ripe black fruit glistening under the sun. The house also had an orchard of apples. All the kids picked these fruits and filled up buckets of the stuff! Literally! We

made an homemade, handpicked blackberry and apple crumble! It was so yummy, especially when paired with cornish custard. 

One of the outings the family went on was mackerel fishing. Being vegetarian I initially didn't want to go, but for the experience I went all the same. In all honesty i really enjoyed myself! We all caught at least 10 mackerel each and came home to gut and fillet them! Most people would find it disgusting but being the tough cookie I am I did like 10! Proud or what? Catching and cooking my own fish made me want a taste. I’ve got to say it was super delicious!

Minack Theatre 

This theatre, just off of Porthcurno beach, is like no other. It is set into the cliff side with a stunning panoramic view of the sea. My aunty bought tickets to watch a hilarious one man show about running a zoo. Aimed at kids but funny for the whole family; from my 76 year old granddad to my 1 year old cousin, everyone really liked it. 

I hope you guys liked this blog post, it’s my first one in the travel section! 

P.S While on the way home from Sennen we stopped off and found this! A can of Arizona iced tea! I’ve had the bottle before but i much prefer the can, its SO cute. I’m such a hoarder it is actually a problem, but i’m going to keep the can as a vase and put pretty flowers in it.

Anyways, see you soon
