It's a fair old journey, and I forgot a pillow to rest my arm on, so I ended up tying the big blue foam thing to the handle above the car door so my arm was sort of suspended. Got a few funny looks but along with some sweets and some codeine it did the trick!
We spent the Sunday at Sennen Cove with my Auntie and Uncle. I love it there so much - I spent my 21st birthday climbing and camping there, and had a BBQ on the beach to celebrate. Watching the sun set here is amazing!
The weather was good to us, so we had a bite to eat, before the obligatory stroll around the Capstan Gallery. Then we headed to Cape Cornwall where we met some very windswept cows!
The next day we headed to Watergate Bay for some lunch at Fifteen, and a stroll on the beach. We've been going to Fifteen for years now and I've not had a bad meal yet (nor have I bumped into Jamie, more's the pity!). Can't recommend the whole place (hotel, beach hut etc.) highly enough!
We then headed into Truro for a stroll around the shops, but unfortunately I wasn't feeling great so we didn't stay too long, although we did end up back in Truro for some food in the evening which was lovely (just don't try and get a Chinese takeaway on a Monday!!).
We headed home on Tuesday via another favourite place of mine - Bampton in Devon. We have family friends here who used to run a B&B, and we popped in for some lunch and a glass or two of wine. The view from Rows Farmhouse is amazing, I could spend days just staring at it. It's good for the soul!
The combination of sun, sea air, food and painkillers made me very snoozy the whole time but the trip definitely did me good. It took my mind off the pain and the anaesthetic after-effects, and I'm very grateful to those involved for looking after me so well!
