My Little Holiday - St Ives

After a very busy summer I finally got a chance to go on a little holiday and chose to explore St Ives for 4 days!
I got the train from Paddington and decided to try and keep a little photo diary so here are some photo highlights from each day...

Some final amazing views on the train home

It was an incredibly relaxing trip, I just wish I was there longer so I could visit other parts of Cornwall like Penzance. I guess that gives me a great excuse to go back there!
