We had a fantastic weekend away at the end of September at our friends wedding in Cornwall.
Bit of a trek but well worth it and we managed to go down a day early to make a proper break of it.
I was a bridesmaid so had lots of wedding duties to tend to the evening before and on the day, of course, but we got some quality family time in beforehand and it was wonderful.
Baby A squealed with delight when we let her 'off leash' without having to wear her butterfly bag with reigns attached. I felt a pang of guilt - she was so delighted to be free I realised we don't make the time enough to go where she can just run free.
Then I got over myself and remembered we've got our beach hut and she runs free on the beach all the time!
It was fun though. We went to Tintagel Castle and Baby A adored running all the way down the hill to the actual castle, along by a bubbling stream which she thought was the best thing ever!
She was so exhausted by the time we got to the bottom she collapsed asleep in her pram. We had brought the pram in case she was too tired which was brilliant planning on one hand but an absolute pain in the proverbial when we realised quite how rocky and quite how many steep steps there were to climb to get to the top of the castle. Not easy to do while juggling a sleeping 2 + stone little lady and her pram!
Still, not to be easily put off by such adversity, Mr Big & I carried on regardless and in true team spirit fashion, managed to somehow negotiate it all while carrying Baby A. It was pretty hard core but very worth it. Beautiful views from the top and we took some fab snaps.
Having clearly burned off so many calories, we easily earned our cream tea we had afterwards!
The wedding itself was also lovely. Wonderful to see such great friends tie the knot. They are a perfect match and were originally childhood sweethearts who came back together in their recent years. As they say, if its meant to be, it will be!
The bride looked breathtakingly beautiful and the groom wonderfully handsome. Gorgeous.
Mr Big and I obviously had Baby A with us but she was a dream and made both of us proud as she looked adorable in her matching dress and shrug, with butterflies in her hair.
Not to be party-poopers just because we had our little one with us, we stayed out and partied on with everyone until the end. Lots of people offered to hold a by then sleeping Baby A, so Mr Big & I even managed to have a dance or two and pretend we were young & carefree again!
It was a fabulous weekend. Even despite the puncture on the way home! Thankfully we had a spare and Mr Big aka 'Hero' knew what to do and we were on our way again in no time!
