Holidays - do you have a<br />
favourite place you love<br />
to go?<br />
For our family, this is St<br />
Agnes in Cornwall. We<br />
stay in our old trailer tent<br />
at a small campsite on a<br />
working farm outside the<br />
village.<br />
The view that welcomes<br />
you of the long stretch of<br />
cliffs, coves and sandy<br />
beaches is well worth the<br />
long journey. Most evenings we stroll down to the old tin mine, perched on a<br />
west-facing cliff and wait in anticipation to catch the fading rays of the sun,<br />
hoping for a spectacular sunset. At night we can hear the sounds of the<br />
ocean, the surf of the Atlantic, crashing onto the cliffs below St Agnes<br />
beacon. When we wake up, if the sun is shining, we head for the nearby<br />
cove, relaxing on a sandy beach, exploring the caves, walking on the cliffs<br />
or the exhilaration of body boarding. There is something for everyone,<br />
whatever your age.<br />
This paints an idyllic picture of our holiday but in truth it’s not always like<br />
this. Sometimes it’s misty, grey and raining and hard to find things that<br />
everyone wants to do. Sometimes living in a field under canvas without all<br />
the comforts of home seems like hard work! But still we keep coming back.<br />
Why?<br />
At a practical level, the reason we return<br />
is because our trailer tent is too old to<br />
make the journey back to Sheffield and<br />
after our holiday we pack it away and<br />
store it in a barn on the farm. But there is<br />
also something very special about the<br />
time we spend with family and friends in<br />
St Agnes that draws us back.<br />
