Quite some time ago, I was told by my mum and dad to visit a little hideaway hut hidden from a beach not too far away from Falmouth, but due to University deadlines I could never quite justify the drive that it required. However, if I had known just how close by it was I would have visited so much sooner than I had, it was just perfect! The Hidden Hut was quite literally hidden away from the beach and the coastal walk, and we only found it after traipsing across the cliff walk from the car park. Selling delicious focaccia sandwiches, soups and stews, handmade cakes and Cornish ice-creams, I of course went for a scrumptious ice-cream and a milkshake. Well, it is summer right?! They do evening events too, including a Paella night which they cook over a special stove on the side of the cliff overlooking the beautiful and secluded beach, could it get any better? After scoffing on ice-cream, me and Alessio explored the cove and walked to the cliff point which housed a little Coastal Watch hut decorated with the Union Jack flag. If you are ever in Cornwall, I really would recommend taking a trip to Porthcurnick Beach and the Hidden Hut, just outside of St. Mawes, it being a lovely little secluded spot.

Probably not the best choice, but I wore my new River Island dress (does anyone else think it looks a little like one by Mink Pink?) which had a tendency to keep blowing up in the wind, so cue me walking along the cliff with my hands strapped to my sides! Although it was boiling hot too, the wind was pretty chilly, hence why I'm sporting a leather jacket in June, ha. The weather here in Falmouth has been so hot the past couple of days, even to the point where i've felt like I need to hide away indoors from fear of melting. How am I going to cope with the heat and humidity in Florida during July?! We're on the lookout for some places to eat or just visit in Florida, so if you would recommend anywhere let me know!

Summer has arrived! Well, it definitely has here in Falmouth at least. With just weeks left in my University town before I have to make the momentous move back home to Kent with all of my possessions in tow, i'm determined to make the most of living in such a beautiful place! And so that means attempting to visit as many seaside towns as possible, eating as many ice-creams and pasties I can stuff in, browsing lots of boutique shops and eateries, and maybe, just maybe, trying to stay upright on a surfboard. After finishing my degree a fortnight ago however, I spent the first few days reacquainting myself with naps, drinks, proper food and TV series that I'd been meaning on catching up on for what feels like forever. I then spent a very much needed week at home with my family, enjoying seeing my not-so-puppy-sized-anymore Teddy and little brother Doug. Now back in Falmouth, I can't wait to start ticking off everything on my to-visit list!

Mid-crisis time between Dissertation hand in and exam period, I had a brief period of joy when I received this beautiful pinafore from Dahlia in the post. I think it's pretty much known that I have a soft spot for a good pinafore, and this is one that (if I could) I would never take off! As I haven't blogged in quite a while, there's a few new bits and bobs in this post that i've yet to share; my new sunglasses made by the lovely Jaymie that are pretty much stuck to my face, even if they leave me looking a bit like John Lennon's long-lost sister, my sale bargain ASOS bag that shows my not-so-secret Dog obsession to everyone that walks by, and finally, the rose gold Olivia Burton watch that i've had my eye on for a very long time and was lucky enough to be treated to on my birthday from my boyfriend. Now that time in beautiful Falmouth is running out, I have to make sure that a chance for a fish and chips dinner is never missed, we all know that a trip to the seaside isn't the same without a good portion of chips smothered in salt and vinegar!
