Project 365: #102 The Plough, Duloe

Since we took Max on holiday, it was a bit difficult to go out for dinner in the evening but we gave the village pub a call on the off chance that they allowed dogs and they do!  Good times!  The meal was amazing - I had scallops to start and Danny had mussels, then we both had steak with a green peppercorn sauce, mixed salad and chips.  Mmmm........!  If you're ever in the area, definitely check it out - www.ploughduloe.co.uk

Project 365: #101 Golitha Falls

We took a trip inland today, stopping at Golitha Falls on the River Fowey before driving to Bodmin.  We parked the car and strolled along through the woods by the river.  Another picturesque day for us, as you can see!  After a short drive through Bodmin Moor, past Jamaica Inn, we reached Bodmin.  After at least three days of longing for one, I finally got my cream tea!  I only managed half though - two scones was a bit much!

Project 365: #100 Polperro

We took a trip down to Polperro today to have a bit of a wander around the village - it's a really picturesque little place.  Narrow cobbled streets and a small harbour make it really cute.  After a bit of an explore of the streets, we popped into a small confectionery shop and picked up some clotted cream fudge to take home with us - absolutely delicious :)

Project 365: #099 My idea of heaven....

Yep, that is an individual portion of lasagne, Danny style!  He cooked these massive lasagnes while we were away and I've gotta say, it was definitely as good as it looks!  Lasagne is my absolute favourite but I could barely manage half of this!  It was just about as good cold the next day though (I'd never had cold lasagne, but Danny assured me it was good - he was right!)

Project 365: #098 Max's first beach trip and Cornish pasties

On Monday, we decided to take Max for his first visit to the beach - I think he enjoyed it by the looks of the photo above :)  I think this is probably my favourite photo of him ever!  He couldn't quite decide whether or not to venture in deep enough for his feet to leave the ground but still managed to get plenty wet enough!

After a while of messing around on the beach, we had a bit of a wander around Looe and decided to get traditional Cornish pasties for lunch.  Danny wanted a large one, but the shop we went to had run out - a good job as it turned out, because the medium ones we got were absolutely huge!  Easily the best pasty I've ever had though - worth the trip down to Cornwall for that alone!

Project 365: #097 Mucky pup

Since our first full day in Cornwall was a Sunday and it was unusually hot for October, we decided to avoid the beach and leave it till during the week when it'd be a bit quieter.  Our apartment had a list of walks from the village so we picked a 5 mile one which went through the woods.  The only problem with this plan (and we didn't find this out until we were on the walk, with no signal on our phones for Google Maps!) was that the turning that we were meant to take into the woods was closed due to deforestation.  We carried on walking and took the next turning we could, thinking that maybe we'd just judged the distance wrong and kept looking at the directions I'd written down - they seemed to fit to where we were anyway....

Two hours later, we were in the middle of the woods with no idea where we were.  We eventually managed to find our way to a farm and then followed a lane in the direction we thought must be the main road.  Thankfully after another 20 minutes or so, a car passed us and told us that the main road was only another 10 minutes away.  When we reached the main road, Danny got internet signal on his phone and we managed to use Google Maps to find the way home!  Rather than 5 miles, we ended up doing 8 miles!  Max was absolutely shattered by the time we got home (as were Danny and I!) - so much so that he promptly got into his bed and fell asleep for the rest of the evening!  By the looks of it though, he enjoyed splashing around in muddy puddles - we enjoyed trying to clean him off a whole lot less!

Project 365: #096 Chapel Views

Wouldn't it be lovely to wake up to this view every morning?  I have for the last week!  Danny and I (plus Max the dog!) have just returned from a nice relaxing holiday near Looe, Cornwall.  The weather was absolutely perfect for the first three days, unfortunately getting a bit wetter towards the end of the week but it is October!  The apartment that we stayed at was absolutely gorgeous - immaculately furnished and both of us said that we'd like our house to be decorated similarly when we finally get one!  If you're thinking of visiting Cornwall, I'd definitely recommend staying at Chapel Views!

I have not been paid nor asked to write this review - I was just genuinely impressed with the apartment and would recommend it to anyone!
