Feeling Fragile

After having a suitably long lie-in we could ignore our rumbling tummys no more and headed out into old town in search of something to eat. But first, we gave Fiona a little tour of the old town, the real gem in the crown of Caceres, windy streets and cute restaurants hidden by giant wooden doors. 

We wondered unto the church and past 'the toe' (if you rub it brings good luck).

We then headed out of old town and down to our favourite cafe - one of the only places you can get good cake and a cuppa to fill our bellies and perk ourselves up again. 

Fiona went for a toffee-nut cake, which was delicious especially the icing. 

I went for the '7 chocolates' cake which it a traditional chocolate layer cake but with an added biscuity, crumbly base, and a mountain of icing - yum! 

Penny opted for a nutella crepe with ice cream and Fiona and I were both a little bit jealous of her choice! 

We washed it all down with a round of milky coffee and chatted away until it was time to see Fiona off. 

Re-united.

When Monday morning rolled around, I could hardly wait. I was hitting the road to see my best uni friend in Devon before we all head our separate ways for the year. 

I turned the music up load, and before I knew it, I had arrived. 

As the sun was till out, we decided to head down to the seafront and make the most of it, as we weren't sure how long it would stick around. We wondered through the narrow streets, breathing in the sea air, browsing the independent shops and the seaside wares they had to offer. 

We chatted until it got too cold to bare, and looked for some where to grab some food. Pea Green Boat fit the bill nicely, and we tucked into traditional fish and chips with a sea view.

On the way back to the car, we could't help but notice the Doughnut Deli, and satisfied our sweet tooth with freshly made doughnuts and waffles, covered in chocolate. 

The perfect seaside afternoon. 

Topsham and Beer.

After a lazy morning, we hopped in the car and drove up to Darts Farm for a spot of lunch. A farm shop and spa that sells unique snacks and unusual gifts; the perfect place to go if you're having trouble finding a present for that certain someone. 

After lunch, we headed into Topsham, a little village just outside Exeter, to walk off our lunch, but we couldn't resist stopping for some tea and cake. 

Gotta get in for that close-up

The gorgeous Livs

...and Sarah  

Having said good by to Livs we decided we weren't ready to go back home and decided to explore a little further; and headed to Beer. Another seaside down down the coast from Sidmouth. We pootled about looking at  the beach huts, taking in the sea and chit chatting away until we felt what was to be the the first of many raindrops and decided to head back to the car. We weren't quick enough and got drenched in the process.

We blasted the heating in the car and headed home. There's nothing cosier than being bundled up in the car with the rain falling around you.
