This is going to be a pretty photo heavy post, just to warn you now. As you may or may not know I recently took a short break to cornwall with my family to escape some of the supposed madness of the London Olympics. On our last day we took the local train to the town of falmouth and explored what it had to offer, I've been to falmouth a few times as my family are from cornwall but it was nice to have a good look around and capture my day.
Me and my sister found one of our favourite things, a sweet shop! It was called Candy shakes and sold a mixture of American and old traditional english sweets. At the back of the shop there was a really cool milkshalke bar done in a 50's style which looked so cute, you could pretty much make any flavour milkshake you wanted! I love going into sweet shops, I love all the colours and seeing all the different types of sweets you can buy!
We then went to a lovely tea room called Dolly's although a little bit pricey it's such a lovely place to go and was such a lovely place to be, there was even an adorable dog in a pearl necklace to celebrate the Olympics! I've never been to a tea room before so I'm glad that this one was my first and it sets the bar high for the others I may step foot into. I had a sicillian lemonade and a slice of lemon cake with berries, both of which were delicious. My sister got a hot chocolate which had some dolly mixture's around it which I thought was such a clever and cute idea!
Some of the cakes that were on offer made by the staff themselves;
chocolate and Guinness cake, lemon cake, pecan pie and banana and toffee cake.
Once the day is over the Dolly's also serves tapas and has a wine bar at night, it's a shame I didn't get to try any of their lunch or tapas menu as i'm sure it's lovely! When i'm next in the area I definately will try to go here again.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I took full advantage of the lovely weather England is having at the moment and had a little day trip and drove down to Brighton. Even though I've been quite a few times I always forget how much I love this area! I love the little lanes of quirky shops, cafes and spending far too much time and money on the pier's 2p machines, it's somewhere that i would just love to live!
After walking around for a bit we then went to eat at a lovely pub called The Sussex, just to warn you it was quite expensive (two Rekorderlig's came to £9.26!) however the quality of our food was so lovely, as a vegetarian there was also plenty of choice for me on the menu which is quite unusal for traditional pub food. My boyfriend ordered a traditional seaside fish and chips, and I ordered the "veggie" fish and chips, which was battered halloumi (i know, so bad for me but it was so tasty! Totally worth the guilt.)
Brighton was looking very patriotic with lots of colourful bunting everywhere, it looked so cute and British.
See you in my next post!
