The delights of Cornwall
The marriage of Johnny-fart-pants and Hannah was the best ever excuse for a trip to Newquay for a few days, followed by their wedding celebrations in Carlyon Bay (nr Fowey, pronounced 'Foy-ee'!). They got hitched in Vegas last year, so they had a doo-sie with friends and family to celebrate, and what a doo-sie it was!
Set in grand hotel grounds over looking the sea, we were greeted with Champagne and canapes, followed by a huge slap up BBQ of fresh king prawns, lobster, scallops, thai chicken skewers, peppered steak to name but a few tantalising things - finger licking good! Oh and not forgetting the white chocolate coated physalis, and choc coated strawbs - yummmmm! The booze flowed well, accounting for some crazy looking faces pulled in photos, and some wild dancing. Quote of the night goes to Claire: 'I just just get hyperactive when I drink....' - so you don't get drunk then??
Following a good night's sleep in our glorious penthouse apartment in Fowey, we had a slap-up brekkie in the Maria Hotel and a quick walk around town (oh and a big fat cornish ice-cream for me cos we couldn't find anywhere suitable for a cream-tea!). A post-wedding reception BBQ on the beach was then to be had and after a game of frisser (frisbee) in the sea, some burgers, and some snoozing, we blagged a lift back into Fowey for some Pimms on the water's edge before heading for our flight home..... what a day!
Preceding all of this, we had a few days in Newquay. According to the taxi drivers (Muppet Motors), it's not the same as it was (well it doesn't really look all that different to 13 yrs ago when we used to go there during our mis-spent youth!), it's all now chavy hen and stag doo's with a 15:1 ration on males to females - marvellous! It probably didn't help that it was the Rip Curl Board Masters event while we were there so the the place was HEAVING! But as far as we were concerned it was good fun! We even got asked for ID when we entered Sailors - ID??! Brilliant! The 'spring chickens' were obviously on form!
After a late night for the girls on Thursday, Friday was spent sleeping in, walking into town for lunch and onto the beach for more snoozing in the sun, followed by a delish dinner at Lewennick Lodge with views to die for from the Pentire hedland.
Of course we had to make sure that we had a pic of Sal outside Burger King with a cup... so when I finally work out how to get pics off my phone and onto my laptop, I'll make sure I send you in the right place to look for them!
Another top weekend - did me the world of good to get out and about during my recovery!
Well done girls!
