What a week!
This week’s #sundaysevens consists entirely of photos of my week in Polzeath, Cornwall with The Girls.
We’ve been besties for twenty-five years since pregnant with our first children and have had many holidays together over the years, both with and without the kids.
This holiday was just for us though, as it was a special celebration for the first one of us to reach the big five-o.
We spent an indulgent six days getting up late, lazing on the beach, eating at the finest restaurants and drinking.
Lots of drinking.
I shall spare you all the drunken photos and just share a few nice ones:)
1. Meet The Girls.
2. Prosecco on the beach by day…
3. ….the best dishes on the menu each night.
4. Water taxi home at midnight.
5. The Birthday Girl herself.
6. Toasting her health with a bottle of Bolly.
7. Our gift – a Tiffany charm for her bracelet.
8. Here we are all together – what a fantastic week we had!
I’m the next one to hit fifty in a couple of years, but how we’ll top that as far as celebrations go I have no idea!
If you would like to join in #sundaysevens, pop over to Nat at Threads & Bobbins to find out more.

WOW! It looks like you ladies had a fantastic time. Your pic had me drooling over your spread of all that great seafood. Happy Birthday to the birthday girl. She doesn’t look 50 at all. It is always nice to get away for a mini va-ca just to relax, chat, drink a bit, eat and laugh till your sides ache. Thanks for sharing your get-a-way with all of us. xxxx

Weather was amazing and we didn’t even get the thunderstorms that were predicted. Actually, I rather like a good lightening show, so it was a bit of a shame:)

No, a lacy top and similar trousers – but she wanted them to look like a jumpsuit so the trend is well and truly out there!

A well earned break, and best wishes to your birthday friend.🎉 Who knew Cornwall could be such a good beach location? Am remembering the original Poldark (we’re just beginning the new).
