Instead of doing the weekly food shop i drove down to pick my friend up and take her down to Looe. Both of us needed a bit of a “pick me up” and found ourselves at a loose end at the same time. The sun decided to shine and it was in fact quite warm. Looe is a lovely fishing village. There were quite a few families and holiday makers taking advantage of the weather.
Mums and Dads were sitting with their children on the harbour wall dangling the fishing line over the side trying to catch crabs. What an idyllic scene.
We wandered around the narrow streets and enthused about buying a property and turning into a B & B or even renting it out as a holiday cottage (we can dream cant we!)
We rounded off the afternoon by sitting in the cafe on the sea front and eating a Cornish Cream Tea – i will pay for that later on in the week when i stand on the scales i am sure. Never the less it went down a treat and we did walk around for a while so im justified in thinking i will have lost the weight already.
Unfortunately we had to return home and to the real world. I hadnt done the food shopping so there was no tea waiting for me – i managed to put together a salad – healthy or what!
To end off my weeks holiday i visited my friend and her husband for a meal and a drink. We spent a very pleasant morning this morning visiting the attractions that were in the Saltash Town today to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Royal Albert Bridge.
After having a walk through Tavistock i thought i had better head on home. Before i actually got home however, i passed the signpost for Lopwell. It is years since i last went there so i followed the signposts. I thought i was heading towards Lopwell Dam but ended up somewhere else – very nice though!
I decided to take a little ride out to Tavistock today. To start with the heavens opened and i was subjected to driving in a downpour of hailstones – which is quite difficult actually! As can be seen by the photo – they were quite big and settled on my car. I popped into Tesco at Roborough for a light lunch and then decided to head out towards Tavistock. By the time i came out and got back in the car the sun was out and it was such a different day. However the sky was a funny colour – quite threatening to be honest. Managed to get to Tavistock avoiding any more rain and parked up and headed to the indoor market. I love taking my time looking around the stalls. Didn’t find anything that took my fancy on the stalls today so ventured out into the streets of Tavistock. There i looked in most of the shop windows and took photos of the ones that caught my eye. They are so individual – not like Plymouth shops.
On my way home from work last Friday i came across a Farmers Market – which was very colourful. I didn’t have my camera with me but used my mobile phone instead. Having the sun shine is so much nicer than the Wednesday downpour of rain which caused flooding right through the city centre.
