Fowey fun
It's back to reality for me, Saturday i returned home from an amazing week away in the beautiful Cornish village of Fowey. (famous for its literary links to Rebecca, The Loving Spirit and Frenchman's Creek by Daphne DuMaurier and The Wind In The Willows) I spent the week in a Victorian Terrace house over looking the River with Ash, my mum and dad, sister and bro in law to be and Frank and Ernie. We walked, fished, read, and generally unwound. I ate my fill in Cornish Pasties and drank far too much Doombar (Cornish ale for those of you who don't know) it was amazing!
We also visited Boscastle which has the worlds only Witch museum, if you're in the area i highly recommend it it's amazing! The pictures above are of a mummified hand, the hair of a red headed virgin and the strange shaped things are mandrake roots said to scream when you pull them from the ground. We came away with some incense sticks and two candles said to increase creativity and calmness. I will definitely go back when i am in Cornwall again, such a strange and weird place!
It's back to reality now though with a bump :(
It is nice to return to our little home and i think Ernie likes to be back in his fluffy fleecy bed but i miss the views, the sea air and the beauty of the country side.
Oh well not long now till xmas that should keep me busy :)
