You’ve all played a part in my life during my twenties, so it feels only right to bring everyone together to close out this decade and kick off the next.

Whether you knew the version of me with a full head of hair or the more follically challenged version of recent years, you’re invited because you’ve added something real to my life over the last ten years. I’m so grateful for you. Please see this weekend as a chance to look back on those memories, but more importantly, to reconnect and look ahead to whatever is coming up.

I know Cornwall is a trek, but having you there would mean the world - and hopefully, it’s a decent excuse for a coastal escape too!

I’m going to be based in Falmouth from Friday to Monday and am putting together a loose schedule of things to do. I’d love for you to drop in and join me for as much or as little as you like/can. It would be so very very good to see you there!

*Hopeful* Weekend Schedule: 17th–20th April

• Friday 17th: Evening pints and live music at the Chainlocker, Falmouth.

• Saturday 18th: Morning food market and coastal walk, followed by the main birthday celebration in the evening.

• Sunday 19th (The Big 30!): Morning sea swim, beach sauna, and breakfast. After a family lunch, the group will reconvene for a sunset session at a beach bar.

• Monday 20th: Low-key beach trip or walk before the journey home.

I’m currently amassing a schedule of activities for the weekend that you can dip in and out of as you please. These are, of course, entirely optional—feel free to pick the ones that take your fancy and match the pace of your own weekend. I’ll confirm the main group celebration (likely Saturday evening or Sunday lunch) very soon. My goal is to have a jam-packed few days in a place I love, with the rare opportunity of doing it surrounded by the people I value dearly.

The plan is intentionally loose to keep things stress-free! I recommend staying near Falmouth and ideally having a car to get around, as a few spots might be a short drive away. Outside of the main gathering, the days will be filled with coastal walks, pub lunches, and sea swims.

Whether you join for the full long weekend or just a part of it, I can’t wait to get everyone together. While I can't host a massive formal dinner for a group this size, this feels like the best way to celebrate with my nearest and dearest.

I’m setting the stage, but the weekend is yours to shape! Have a look at who else is coming and feel free to start plotting together; sharing an Airbnb or a road trip down to the Promised Land is definitely the way to go. More details incoming, but for now, please save the date and let me know if you’re hoping to make it. 🌞🌊🍻

Keep an eye on this spot! I’m currently pulling together a full itinerary and a list of my favourite local gems to help you make the most of your weekend.
