Cornish Dad Chronicles: Juggling the 9 to 5 with Weekend Adventures

Welcome to Cornish Dad Chronicles! What is it like to balance the chaos of family life while making the most of living in one of the most beautiful corners of England? Let’s find out.

In between the stunning coastlines and sleepy towns, we’re navigating school runs, work deadlines, and the inevitable question: What have we got for tea? We’re a family of adventurers (well, mostly—some of us prefer Netflix to nature), trying to make the most of life in Cornwall. By day, we’re tackling the 9-to-5 grind both at home and away, but come the weekend, we’re out exploring our favourite beaches, avoiding tourists, and occasionally dodging seagulls with an eye for our chips.

This blog is where we’ll share the highs and lows of family life—from budget beach days and family-friendly Cornwall attractions, to the meltdowns and mayhem that keep us humble. Expect stories, tips, and a sprinkle of humour (because as parents — if we don’t laugh we’ll just cry!).

So whoever you are, the kettle’s on, so pull up a chair and join us for the ride.
