Funnily enough I stood at Godrevy and looked across the bay towards St Ives yesterday, and actually took stock that I was looking at home from afar. I spend a lot of my time looking out towards the lighthouse from our bedroom window. It hadn't occurred to me that I could also do it the other way around. Go to the other side CJ. <br />Have a great week. <br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-14056739224157816152015-03-16T21:21:39.314+00:002015-03-16T21:21:39.314+00:00It looks like Spring is arriving and doesn't t...It looks like Spring is arriving and doesn't that just change your mood?
