Yep, tomorrow Mr H and I head off on our first week away together since my 50th last year – down to the Scilly Isles. Taking the train to Penzance (watching out for pirates, obvs) with the Scrump dog, where we'll spend the night before getting the ferry over to the first island, Bryher, on Wednesday.
We've packed carefully, including all the ingredients for margaritas, including the cocktail shaker and right down to a Lucozade 330ml bottle filled with freshly squeezed lime juice. Well, the islands are a little bit back in the midst of time and you can never be too careful hey…?
Hopefully a nice week to help H forget about the crappiness of his chemo since April, and its certainly a first for us to go away in school holidays! Fingers crossed for lots of sea food, beach walks, book & Conde Nast Traveller reading, and Scrumpy not leaving too much mud on the hotel bedclothes…
Love to you all – may the end of July treat you well, as August seems to be creeping up on us already x
