Yesterday me and David went to Looe for the day.
Looe is a totally wonderful place, its so beautiful and the day was almost perfect. Not just because David was dressed up as a pirate (and looked deadly handsome.)
It started off all bright and sunny, we just walked around the town looking in shops, me wasting money in the arcades and getting upset even though I knew the games would have been rigged anyway, and just generally enjoying the day.
By the afternoon it was about to start to rain so we went to have something to eat (after David found a pirate shop and decided we'd have to come back so he could buy a gun) so we had a meal in Miss Marples Tea Shop which was wonderful! It was also a lot cheaper than half the places in Plymouth would be and the food was totally lovely. I had a ham and cheese omelet which was just gorgeous!
By then the rain was starting to get bad so we went back to the pirate shop so David could buy his gun and spent a nice time in the shop listening to the owner tell us all about different pirates and him giving us advice on what David should base his pirate costume on and whether or not I should be a wench or a female pirate!
In the end we had to stay in the shop for a while as it was pouring with rain, but when it finally calmed down a little (and we had found a gap in the stories) me and David moved on and did a little bit of shopping, and David got himself rum and raisin ice cream.
Unfortunately our journey home sucked, the thunder storm knocked out something on the line from Liskeard to Plymouth so the trains where cancelled and we got stuck in the train station at Liskeard. No one would tell us what was going on, then taxi's showed up but there was no organization so a whole load of people got taken to Plymouth who hadn't been there as long as we had, so we ended up waiting for ages for a coach to show up to take us home.
Other than the cock up at the end it was a lovely and near perfect day. I am so happy I got to spend some time with David somewhere nice, because of lack of money we are usually stuck in Plymouth and even then stuck in Plymouth doing nothing.
I've actually been looking at costumes so I can dress up with David the next big trip, David has actually brought me a top for when I go LARPing with him and I'm looking for a skit to match, hopefully I'll have the money to buy the skirt next month as I hope to take David and my mum to Penzance and it would be nice to dress up with David.
