Freya goes to cornwall on holiday

I was apprehensive about taking Freya on holiday as I find days out with her so hard and it's effectively days out every day. I decided to buy myself a few autism awareness t-shirts as I find it less stressful when we're out if people can see why we are struggling with her.
We used to live by the coast and Freya always loved the beacyuh so I knew she would enjoy being by the sea again and still being ice cream obsessed I knew there would be plenty of ice creams to bargain with her for.
As it's a 6 hour drive from where we live we bought her a portable dvd player to watch her best loved dvds on the journey.
We were lucky and she slept a lot of the way and watched dvds for the rest of the time. We arrived ear so headed to the first beach we could find to grab a bite to eat.
We ended up in Charlestown, there were no disabled parking spaces to be found and it was very windy.
There was a huge number of places to eat considering it was a tiny place but having a tight budget meant we opted for a take away pastie each and of course freya insisted on an ice cream.




We had a quick look at the beach but it was pebbly and the wind was howling, we tried to cross the water to look what was on the other side but taking an unpredictable toddler over a small metal bridge with an 8 foot drop into the water either side with the wind blowing a gale was too much stress for me!



The tall ships were in the harbour which turned out to be the highlight of the visit.


As the toilets were a long walk round the other side or over the bridge and up some stairs we decided to head for the campsite to use the toilets there.
