At least today I feel a telly evening has been justified. I got up early to go to a vintage clothes sale in Newquay. It's run by an air hostess who takes two empty suitcases with her when she flies to LA. She fills them up with vintage clothes and sells them in London. It's the first time she's come down to Cornwall but hopefully not the last. We were the first ones through the door and I snapped up this fascinator and pretty handbag for £15! I'm off to a fancy wedding in Scotland in February so will wear the fascinator then.
Then we felt we should treat ourselves for getting such bargains. We drove out to the Lewinnick Lodge at Pentire. It had started hammering it down with rain so we ran inside with our coats over our heads. I had their famous fishcakes which were yummy...
And my friend had the biggest crab linguine ever. (This was yummy too because I stole some when she wasn't looking!)
This was the view which shows how close it is to the sea. (Although the photo is rubbish....I took it while running back to the car...coats over heads again!) One of the best things about living in Cornwall is people's honesty....as we were driving out of the car park, a girl came sprinting after us, getting soaking wet, no coat, hair waiving wildly in the wind. She was sitting on the table next to us and noticed my friend had left her iphone. How kind was that?!
Then, as if I hadn't had enough fun, I headed back to Truro and The Great Escape. I had one of the best massages I've ever had. I love that place. It's run by a couple of girls about my age. It's about the most relaxing place you can go....
I'm off to a Thanksgiving meal tomorrow...it's my first one! I can't wait to blog about it....
:D I have to avoid X Factor because I just know that if I watch one episode, I'll be hooked forever. But you definitely look like you deserve it after such a productive day!
