FINALLY!!! A DAY OUT!!!

SUNDAY 30th OCTOBER:

Finally, a day we can smile about! Today we made it to the National Seal Sanctuary, Joni-Mai had her insuflon changed, without even flinching. She had her G-CSF and then was allowed to go. The plan was to go to the Seal Sanctuary, have dinner and then go back and watch a film with some popcorn and treats.

The Seal Sanctuary was lovely, however, it decided to rain as soon as we got there. So, our trip was cut slightly shorter than we had anticipated. We were all damp and cold but we were not bothered because we were enjoying a day out. Off to find somewhere for a nice roast dinner... Was slightly harder to find than we had imagined it would be. In our minds, we would find a nice cosy country pub and have a good old fashioned roast dinner, in reality we drove for about an hour from pub to pub to find nobody serving a roast dinner... Until we got all the way into Penzance, we stumbled across The Lugger Hotel after popping into four other pubs. It was a tad strange, but the pudding was nice. When we got back to the car, there were piles of kelp on the pavement where we were parked, it turns out the sea was going slightly crazy and the waves were very excited. Maybe the great Sea Cat had something to do with the waves? It was very funny when Daddy was strapping Daisy into her car seat and had to duck down to avoid being soaked by a big wave!

The drive home was something rather special, the fog that had descended upon us was unreal. Possibly like something from a war story, maneuvering the country lanes with 0% visibility was interesting, particularly as we reached the house with its cliff side road... I'll leave you to imagine how scary that was for us all! We finished our disastrous day with fireworks and "The Princess and The Frog" on DVD. Everyone went to bed happy after having had our first and last day out in Cornwall.
