Off to Cornwall..............

Having had some difficult times in the past few months, thought we deserved a treat. So, tomorrow we're off to Watergate Bay Hotel for a few days - can't wait - it looks amazing.......

 
Check out the pool :) -


 
Truth be told, I read about it in a Sunday paper and thought the long weekend price was for 2 people - but it turned out it was per person.....   By then I was smitten, so we went for it anyway!  You get an evening meal at the hotel, a meal at Jamies and a meal at The Beach Hut....... :)
 
*****************
 
A trip this morning to the local charity / thrift shop yielded some pretty china -
 
 
I'm not too keen on these ones, but they were made for Harrods, darling, so who I am to scorn! - 
 

 
My own, simpler, tastes were more pleased by this jug, which I think I'll keep. Very Springlike, fresh colours -

 
******************
 My mum-in-law continues to do well, after her big op - thanks for all your good wishes. She's home now, so I took her a posy of flowers from the garden - 

 
See you next week!

    Hello:

    Have a wonderful time in Cornwall. How lovely to be spending time by the sea and we do so hope that the weather will be kind to you.

    The jug is so smart. Like you we are less smitten with the Harrods' china but then, as you say, it is Harrods!!

    You'll love it down there. If you get chance go to Mawgan Porth to Scarlet Hotel for a pre-dinner drink. It's amazing, fabulous views if on the expensive side. From a jealous Anne xx

    What gorgeous charity shop finds, I particularly love the one with a lot of green at the top. I can't resist such things but do I have the room to store them, or enough people around my table to use them - no! I wish you a very happy restful time in Cornwall, we have just come back from 4 days near Porthleven - between raging gale 1 and raging gale 2 and had a fab time

    I can't reply back to you from my blog as you are a 'no-reply' blogger? Anyway, so glad you are having a good time ... I am just a little envious as I type this at work in my break! I will definitely look into booking it next time there is a deal ... I often see special deals for it on Travelzoo. M x
