Ooo we have sunshine today! I was expecting rain, it’s a bit of a drive to where I am meeting my friend (about an hour and a half) but it’s along the coast so I will enjoy a podcast or two and the scenery. It’s weird as I think of this place as close by but where I am going on Monday is roughly the same length drive time wise but it’s a big treat and like a different world.

Will do Beanie!
Had a lovely day out today and the drive was lovely. It’s been a gorgeous sunny day up here but freezing, I would take this over warm rainy weather but still defrosting! Had a pizza out for lunch but apart from that and a soft drink I haven’t spent anything despite going into lots of lovely arty shops with huge price tags😂
