The Big Beach House
Just back from a great week in Cornwall, at The Towans. Hayle, with the Bell, Chadwick and Bol families. This is I think year number 8 and the second year in the Big Beach House. Usual great stuff, surf, sand, walks, eating, drinking, running, cycling, plus a visit to some old mine workings this year too. Full set of photos here.....
