Oh what do on yet another scorchio day! Lady luck is shining down on us with this weather, we can't believe our luck!
Yesterday was sorting out the car day for new front tyres whilst we were landlocked so we tried our luck @ River Cottage Canteen, Plymouth.
No epic voyage by dinghy yesterday as on strict tyre schedule so by land we went and weren't disappointed.
Whilst you can't eat outside yet, that will happen shortly the inside is amazing.
They have made the most of the old impressive building and given it a real industrial and yet rustic feel.
Light lunch of starters (ham hock terrine for das captain and crab for me), plus a glass of Hugh,s legendary elderflower bubbly thrown in for good measure. It was delicious. Service all round was fabulous too. We,ll definitely be back.
After a quick walk around the front das captain set off to change the car tyres and I made the most of the sun on deck just chilling.
I love das bot for catching up on reading, from chick flick books, swailing adventures et al. Yesterday was no exception and I was mission on with a new book. You can't bet an afternoon indulging yourself in a book that you can't put down.
I sat reading Shane Spalls book about her sailing adventures with actor husband Timothy Spall.
I,ve always watched the tv series over the iPad. Das captain is an avid fan, hence the book and I have to say I loved it. Yep I read it over the day and read the last page at 10 o'clock last night!
Fowey by road today to pick up the new headsail, well that's what we thought but the darn thing is still not ready as promised much to das captain's frustration.
We are still going down we love the place and for good measure we have a lunch date with some friends aboard their bot......swooper.

That's global warming for you. More reliable good weather in March than in July. Enjoy Fowey it's my favourite place and I have lovely memories of staying there with Simon in the Old Quay House. Heavenly room with a huge bath only downside was seagulls on the veranda in the morning. At the seaside who would have thought it?
ReplyDeleteI know, it's heavenly and the sun is shining again today....just swooper x
