St Ives and Guy Forks

I'm currently writing this as Naomi's fallen asleep next to me and I've just finished cooking Sweet and Sour Chicken and I'm rather exhausted myself... yet for some reason I feel compelled to write this post... odd that! Well the past weekend consisted of my Brother and Sister in Law calling past on their way down to St Ives so as well as the pleasantries of seeing them we also hitched a free lift down to Cornwall's finest sea side resort!

First things first we had to get our pasty on:

Those in the know will realise that, I'm actually eating some crazy assed pasty, since I purchased the pasty which was made in Cornwall its Crib is actually along the top (which normally defines a devonshire pasty) as opposed to along the side (traditional cornish). This almost concerned me a little bit until i realised that I was holding something which could be eaten and after a minute or so of chomping the item of confusion was no more!

The rest of our time in St Ives consisted of a lot of wondering around and enjoying the local facilities (highly recommend the Sloop Inn and their Mexican Restaurant! oh and yeah St Ives beaches aren't too bad either!

Oh and one final thing from our trip to St Ives which was quite amusing at the time but watching it back, its not quite as amusing one Giant dog barking at a little dog which isn't bothered at all!



It kinda resembles this highly amusing comic strip I've found on Lucy Lou's Art Journal:

Well after our lovely weekend, we both have had to go back to work, which isn't actuallly that bad a thing since we both enjoy our jobs! This week however contains the most magical day of the 5th November! Where for some reason controlled explosions are no longer throwned upon and are accepted as common practice! FIREWORKS night! The city of Plymouth gets it community spirit on when it comes to Fireworks night by putting on a huge free display on the Hoe its actually really nice how the City all turns up at one place like that! I did try my best to try and capture the feeling of the place in this clip but was quite distracted by the Huge fire and explosions to really put that much effort into it:



We rounded the evening off with a visit to Captain Jaspers for some Fat filled Burgers but darn they were tasty! So that leaves me to were I am now about 50min later I think I shall let sleep do its thing!

Naomi's birthday and Naomi's parents visiting...

Well last week was Naomi's birthday and my huge elaborate plans of going to disney land on the back of a elephant were put on hold as she got called in for supply work... booo! So with that plan changed we decided to go for a curry after work instead! Fun times!

My weekend consisted of a bike ride over the Dewstone, After which I thought hmm I should take Naomi for a walk over here... so 5 hours later we did.

Our walk was very pleasant I even took some nice photos with my SLR:

Later that evening we had a lovely time watching You've Been Framed and Harry Hills TV - Burp was magic I tell you... we then had a nice time watching a number of films with Luke and Jo!

The next major event.... when I say major I really mean just non standard activity... occurred today... Naomi's parents came to visit and we had a nice picnic down on Wembry beach:



And that's about it for the most recent updates... my brother and sister in law are calling past here on the weekend as they're on holiday in St Ives so we shall most probably take the opportunity to visit it ourselves! Fun times!
