Cocktails on Perissa

Santorini is all about sitting back and enjoying the easy, slow pace of Greek life. So, embracing this laid back lifestyle we headed to the island's beaches to soak up that Mediterranean sun!

Amoudi Bay, Santorini

At the foot of the busy streets of Oia, there is a quiet refuge nestled in the rocks. If mermaids do exist, I'm sure they'd set up home here.

Oia, Santorini

Oia is Santorini's most recognisable town. It's the one that you will have seen in all the photos. The blue domes, the traditional windmills, the incredible sunsets - it's no wonder that hundreds of tourists flock to Oia every day.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the unbelievable cuteness of the above photo.

Skaros Rock, Imerovigli

If you go to Santorini you will no doubt do a lot of walking. Unless you plan on spending your time relaxing in the pool, and hey, if you're lucky enough to have these views then I don't blame you!

Yasou, Santorini!

Santorini has one of the most recognisable views in the world. Even if you haven't heard of the name before, there's no doubt that you've probably seen the pictures on Instagram. And it's really no surprise - it's without a doubt one of the most picturesque places I've ever been. With the perfect whitewashed buildings and unmistakable blue domes all perched high above the sparkling caldera, there's no view quite like Santorini's!

Blue Skies

The best days in St. Anton have to be, without doubt, the days just after a massive snowfall. The snow has been falling incessantly, the mountains have been in a complete white out, but suddenly, one morning, you wake up, and what's that? Sun? Blue skies?? In January?? It's time to get up those mountains and enjoy that fresh powder!

Porthchapel Beach, Cornwall

I've always believed that some of the most special beaches are the hidden ones. You know, the tucked away beaches where you have to get your rock-climbing, adventurous mind in set and clamber down a cliff to get to. So when we wondered upon this beachy oasis of Porthchapel Beach on a coastal walk from Porthcurno (see the post here), of course we couldn't resist having a closer look!

10 things I'm looking forward to about summer

Woopsy I'm meant to be doing work, how did I end up on here? Procrastination yay!

After days of lovely sunny weather, all of which I couldn't really fully enjoy because of being stuck inside with my dissertation woes, my mind's been wandering forward to summer. And now the sunny weather is getting a bit more cloudy, I'm even more desperate for the summer heat and sun to arrive (fingers and toes crossed that pesky rain stays away)! Here are 10 things I'm looking forward to about summer....

Winter Beach Walks

I realised today that I hadn't been down to the beach this year, and okay, I've only been back at uni for less than 2 weeks, but living literally 5 minutes away from the beach makes this pretty unforgiveable. So on my way back from town I decided to take advantage of the rare bit of sun and had a little Winter wander and read on Gylly beach. Chilly but beautifully peaceful. 

Sunday Smiles #10 // Doggy selfies

I have to be honest with you, my weeks are being pretty uneventful at the moment, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it's nice to just relax and get reading that never ending pile of books for uni!

Sunday Smiles #6 // Home time!

First things first, apologies for not posting last week's Sunday Smiles, but I've been ever so busy packing up all my stuff after finishing my second year at uni. So here's a round up of not only what made me smile this week, but what also made me smile last week!

Sunday Smiles #5 // Fun in the sun

I've been spending almost everyday on the beach this week - perks of living in Cornwall when it's sunny! Here's what else made me smile this week...

Sunday Smiles #4 // A New Face!

It's been another fun filled week, complete with quite a few changes! The sun is still shining, so I'm still smiling :)

Sunday Smiles #3 // Summer celebrations!

It's that time of year again - the Garden Party!! I've spent the day feeling rather sorry for myself after an evening of dancing, giggles, and far too much alcohol, so what better way to cheer myself up than with this week's Sunday Smiles? It's a good 'un!

Falifornia

After days upon days of rain, rain, and more rain, it was a lovely surprise to finally have some sun in Falmouth the other day!
