One of the best things about having a car is being able to go on weekend adventures to places that aren’t accessible by public transport.

I got my car in October last year but we haven’t been out and about that much in it because of the weather and because, of course, I was still getting to grips with driving.

As I mentioned in my latest Weekend Blog post I went to Oxford last Monday in order to see a doctor for my legal case, and I somehow managed to go all the way to Oxford and back in one day. I must have been mad.

I had to take three trains there, and three trains back, and then a taxi to the hospital when I actually got to Oxford, and in order to get it all done within one day I had to get up before 6am.

Parkdean Holidays recently got in touch and sent me over this wonderful hamper full of Cornish afternoon tea goodies to sample.

I managed to resist diving in until Tyrone got home from work, but once he was back we sacrificed a proper evening meal for afternoon tea (rather shockingly it was Tyrone’s first ever afternoon tea!).
