Well rather amazingly the time has raced by and we are on the last night of our honeymoon. I can't believe that we have been married a week already!!!
Yesterday we went to the
National Seal Centre. It was a beautiful day and we saw lots of cute little seals being fed. There was also a big fat seal called Ray who apparently had brain damage. My comment calling him 'Ray the Retard' earned me a pinch from The Mister. The Mister called him a 'Special Seal' which is apparently more politically correct than calling him a retard. They clearly do a good job and rescued nearly 50 pups in the last year and they try to release as many as possible back into the wild, and only medical reasons will stop them doing so.


We then took a little drive down to St Michael's Mount, but it was a little bit late for us to go over there by boat as the tide was high. Instead we had to make do with a fantastic Cornish ice cream.
Today has been a really lazy day. We wandered around St Ives shopping for some paintings. We were given some money by a couple of people as a wedding present and we decided to put it to something we could keep. So we bought an oil painting of an owl and a watercolour of St Ives. At least we have something to remind us of our wonderful stay in Cornwall. We also walked past a street called Teetotal Street. I am thinking my friend Auntie Billie should move in there.
Anyway, home tomorrow. Via a little stop over as it is a long drive. So, seeya back in Yorkshire!!!
