A NIGHT AWAY




After a hectic time, I thought it would be nice to take Pete away for a night, I had it all planned to the last detail.... Saturday go to Cotele a National trust place and have a picnic (IT RAINED VERY HARD!)...Saturday night stayed in Lydford Country Manor with a fantastic posh meal, which was really really nice, best food we have had, master chef style! The Sunday we were to park a little way from Pentillie Castle and cycle in for the Festival of Speed, which we did, but it was so muddy, we had flip flops on as our thinking was pimms outside on the lawn and watching the hill climb.......(NO IT WAS THE MUDDIEST PLACE EVER) so after that we had our last night in the summerhouse, thought we would make the most of our budget break..., I got up and cooked a full breakfast on a camping one ring stove, (IT RAINED SO HARD IT WAS BOUNCING) but to not let it ruin our day we put on our full waterproofs and went out walking. It got to 4pm and neither of us could hack the rain anymore so we gave up, but we did enjoy our weekend, except the weatehr really bad, and all my planning was getting shot to pieces at every opportunity! But I tried!!!Next year hpefully we will have a little more funds and I can plan a bit better! Photos taken int he rain at Lydford Gorge! Very difficult to take one with one hand of us both, I dont know how people do it, I look very odd!! Oh and I nearly forgot, half an hour before we went, the fridge freezer packed up and I had to get a panic one form a shop pending our to be fixed, all in half an hour, and our roof had a leak all down the new oak stairs....someone isnt popular right now!!
