Jonquil, my flatmate, invited the house to her home in Bude, in the county of Cornwall, in south eastern England. The weather was fantastic and I have never seen more beautiful beaches. We went swimming a few times. Let me tell you, while the sun may have been shining, it did not affect the icy temperature of the sea one bit. We jumped in and after the initial shock set in, our bodies not only went numb but turned bright red from the chill. It was invigorating and gave a new definition to the Polar Bear Dip. We then went to The Eden Project, which is a horticultural phenomenon for southern England. It consists of many outdoor, native flowers surrounding two large biomes which house two separate climates, tropical and meditearranean. We saw some amazing plants and enjoyed watching each other sweat. As for Cornwall itself, it is a major part of what gives Britain it's mystical nature. So green, serene and clean. (haha.) What a great few days.
Here's some video!
