Well The Mister and I are currently honeymooning in St Ives in Cornwall. It is seriously gorgeous and we are totally in love with the little windy streets and the views across the rooftops. It is utterly charming, and will be even nicer when the sun properly comes out!
Since we arrived here it has been utterly blissful to be able to relax and have no schedules we have to keep! We have spent quite a bit of time just wandering around and getting our bearings as well as scoping out all the magnificent places to eat.
Yesterday we went to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Park. Whilst I really like some of the sculptures that are there I have decided I am a bit of an art-retard as I can't stand all the artistic bollocks that go with them. All the descriptions about the artist feeling one with the scenery etc etc. I just don't get it. As I said, I am an art-retard!
Today we went to the Eden Project which is utterly amazing but just mental. Until you visit it is almost impossible to truly grasp the size of the thing. The Mister commented that it reminded him of Jurassic Park, and we agreed that it is because you can almost imagine the creator of the Eden Project saying to his friends, "You know, I have had a great idea. I am going to buy an old clay pit and add some massive blow-up greenhouses and fill them with plants and stuff". It's almost as mental as buying an island and filling it with dinosaurs! But, it is spectacular and utterly visionary and I adored it!
Here are just a few pics. If you want to see more then click on one to go to my flickr page.
