The Cornwall Surf Series: Meet Amy and the kids

This life is what you make of it.

When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing you ask yourself? Are you wishing yourself 'good morning' or are you thinking about all the things you have to do and scrolling endlessly on social media?

This article is the first part of our amazing Cornwall Surf series. It tells the story of a wonderful family who live their lives in harmony with the coast, surfing and giving back to their environment and community and also encourages you to reflect on your routines, your work-life balance and also how you greet a new day.

We immerse ourselves in this beautiful story and start the day with Amy asking her children: "When the tide comes later, will it be a big tide or not so big? (...) We could surf!"

Home is what you make of it.

It's the first story from our PURELEI x Cornwall project, which I'm really enjoying working on and which I'm sure you'll love too. The Surf Series is set in Cornwall, England, and presents three different stories that all have one thing in common: surfing.

For Amy, Eli and Sennen, home means many things. To be close to the sea, the ocean. It means having a place to turn, to care for, to find refuge. Surfing. And also to be grateful and aware of the natural beauty that surrounds us.

"Make it once. Make it well. Make it last."

Since we can't travel during these times, I enjoyed this quick escape to South West England even more. I hope you do too! I would be happy if you would leave your thoughts in the comments section.

I can't wait to hear from you. Stay safe!

Kind regards
