Wet and Wind Swept - but Thoroughly Enjoyable

Back from Cornwall. Really good holiday though weather could have been better!
Eden Project http://www.edenproject.com/ absolutely fab and everyone should make the effort to go to this. Good value for money and if you gift aid your entrance money, your ticket is valid for 12 months and you can visit as many times as possible.
We stayed self catering at http://www.foweyvacations.com/property1/ which was excellent. Animal friendly and the local neigbours, the bassett Hounds and Horses were great.
I will post more when I get my camera and video camera attached

Acorn Antiques and Dreadful Seats

Went off to Nottingham on tuesday and had a fab evening. Firstly went to Wagamamas http://www.wagamama.com/locations_map.php?locationid=3
First time there and can highly recommend it.
Then went on to Theatre Royal http://www.royalcentre-nottingham.co.uk/
to see Acorn Antiques http://www.acornantiquesthemusical.com/
Absolutely fantastic. Quite different from the London production as Victoria Wood has cut the 1st act and introduced several new characters, new songs and new scenes. Fab.
But suffered the most excruiating pain in my left knee for the majority of the first half due ot lack of leg room. These old theatres are really not deisgned for tall people.
Anyway, second half moved to the end of the row and got on much better.
If you get the opportunity - go along and have an excellent laugh
Off on my hols tomorrow so probably nothing for a week unless I can log on whilst away.

Not Much News Really

Into town yesterday morning to collect my contact lens' and to try and buy an up to date Touristy type map of Cornwall. Ours is approximately 20 years old - is it really that long since we were last there??
Anyway, failed miserably on the map front , will buy one when we arrive. Not long now and really looking forward to it though the weather over the weekend is rain apparently.
Feet quite sore after my Town trip so did not do much this afternoon except taking my boy to the Vets as he has an eye infection. Cream prescribed - just another thing for Helen to think about when they go on their hols.
Off to Nottingham this evening to see Acorn Antiques. Really looking forward to that.
Then back to work tomorrow for one day. Hoping to catch up on bits and pieces and then able to go off on holiday with peace of mind.
