Foy rhymes with Joy!

Road trip to an unknown destiny. We reached the territory of Cornwall and Mike said: 'Do you know where we are going?' 'Ehhmm no..'. 'Me neither...'

We got to this characteristic little town. If someone said we were in Greece I would actually believe it. Such a graceful sight.

The locals had named the town Foy because it rhymes with Joy. The real name of the town is slightly different and the pronunciation as well. I should take a photo of the signpost next time. I am not very good with the facts unless it is absolutely necessary. Aw hold on...Mike says its real name is Fowey. Well done!

We went for tea and coffee in a little cafe and visited a few of the charming little shops. I got in such a great mood being there on this bright day.

The houses were so well looked after and the atmosphere walking around in the small shops just made me want to decorate a house.

Early Night

 

Think the whole world has caught some sort of cold these days. I really don't mind my cold at the moment. Felt so tired all day, and now I have a good excuse to snuggle up in bed reading my new Elle magazine, eat some more liquorice and just rest.

Loafers in the Sun

Been to the west coast again overlooking a quite dramatic landscape. The castle shaped building is actually a hotel, however I wouldn't be surprised if it was Dracula's house.

We went to the marina and enjoyed a nice cup of tea reading the Sunday Times. The sun was heating my face, the Daffodils and Snowdrops are out and I can wear my loafers without feeling cold on my feet. I think the spring has officially arrived!

 

My plant collection, and the one in the blue pot is a new arrival from this weekend. So springish and cheerful!

 

Even my long lost orchid has started the process of waking up ♥

 

Then I have enjoyed some funny shaped liquorice...,

 

traffic signal?!;;

 

whilst having a relaxing girlie afternoon...

 

New York City

Less than 2 months left now and I am off to NYC with one of my best friends from home in Tromso, my mum and her friend. The four of us are going to have a proper girls trip and I can't wait.

 

Exciting!

 

I have swapped my fiction literature to my new Lonely Planet NYC guide. All four of us have collected NYC guide planners so hopefully we shouldn't miss out on anything.
