Our Honeymoon – Day 4

Our Honeymoon – Day 4

We had no eggs left on day four and it was a little bit rainy. This made me want to sadface all over the place, but then I remembered it was our Honeymoon, so I stopped being sad and went back to being awesome. We went to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth on this day, and they have a…

Our Honeymoon – Day 3

On Day 3 we finished off the last of the farm eggs (which tasted so much better than regular eggs it must be said), and went to Brixham. I like Brixham, it has a nice atmosphere, and a nice fishy smell to it. I drank too many random beers the night before, and I was hanging a little bit, so…

Our Honeymoon – Day 2

Sunday was Jane's birthday. I slept very well, had a nice green tea in bed, then a bowl of Just Right and some delicious scrambled farm eggs on rustic wholemeal toast. The shower in our apartment was incredible - kind of sunk into the ground. We went off to Cockington on this day, Cockington Court in particular. Jane downloaded a…

Our Honeymoon – Day 1

Day one. This started at home, early Saturday morning. Unlike previous holidays, where I've not really been bothered about getting up early on a Saturday morning ready to travel, I don't tend to work stupidly early on a Saturday morning anymore, so getting up at 5 in the morning hurt. And it didn't help that I did not sleep very…

Holiday 2012: Day 5

Day five was to be our last day on the Isle of Wight, but our ferry wasn't until 4:30, so we had time to have one last cool day. Packing everything into the car was speedy and efficient, Jane is very good like that. Our first stop of the day was at Robin Hill. It had some nice woodland, cool…

Holiday 2012: Day 4

Day four brought with it a visit to Blackgang Chine: A name that has resonated throughout my life. My Mum and Dad took David and me there years and years ago, not that I remember the place at all, just the name. Although I doubt it was as impressive back then as it is now, there are some aspects that…

Holiday 2012: Day 3

Day three brought a real inspiration (as opposed to the semi-inspirational woodland of day two) - Butterfly World. I made sure I got some amazing shots. Surely the one with the green pattern looks too much like a tasty caterpillar? It'd be eaten in no time. Can't wait to use their patterns in some kind of creative endeavour. I also…

Holiday 2012: Day 2

On the second day, we went to Arriton Barn Craft Village. I bought a Coconut Ice, because they always seem to taste better on holiday. There were some cool Pirate statues, some fish and ducks in the pond, and an interesting shop that sold glass ornaments. We then went on to Amazon World, and we all touched a snake. After…

Holiday 2012: Day 1

Jane, Claire, Lewis, Ethan and I popped over to the Isle of Wight today, a little place called Whitecliff Bay. The ferry ride was peaceful enough, we went up to the top deck and soaked in the beautiful sea air. I do so miss the sea air. When we got to the Isle of Wight, Claire thought she'd avoid traffic…

Mango’d

Although the thing is, I've not been Mango'd. I'm just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update onto my phone, but all I'm getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I'll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up "An update for your phone is ready", then I shouldn't have…
