HURRAH FOR DADS

SO I'M IN CORNWALL WITH my dad and his lovely girlfriend. It's his birthday today so I wanted to dedicate this post to him by telling you the things that make my dad (and hopefully everyone else's) very special. P.S: We took this photo yesterday...look how proud he looks! Haha.

1. My dad is always there for me, even though I moved out of home two years ago, if I need his support then he'll be round in a jiffy.

2. He's never down. Sometimes business gets stressful and where many people would become ratty he just takes it in his stride and remains calm and happy.

3. He wants everyone he loves to be as happy and healthy as they can be. Sometimes I'll meet up for lunch with him or go to stay at their house and he'll have some new product for me to make sure I'm comfortable and healthy. The last thing was anti hay fever pillows.

4. He's supportive of me in any situation. Whether he disagrees with me or not, he makes sure I feel supported either way.

5. He's active and looks after himself so we can do fun things together (for example totally failing at surfing).

6. He fills up my petrol tank each time I come to stay.........what?!

7. He's really fungy (funny).

8. When he gets an idea in his head, for example improving something about the house or garden, he doesn't stop until he's satisfied. It's very amusing watching him march back and forth outside, building stuff like a caveman with his big mallet, huffing and puffing.

9. He's very thoughtful with my friends too. My good friend Holly was pretty much like my sister at one point because we were constantly staying at each others  houses and my dad sent us both on holiday together and took us on day trips all the time, always treating Holly like another daughter.

10. My dad is fully dedicated to me and whilst my mum hasn't been involved in my life for the last 10 years, he's had to be both a father and a mum to me. He's done a damn good job because I'm not as screwed up as I could potentially be ;) Haha.

Enough now, I'm getting all soppy and I just heard him blowing his nose reeeaaallly loudly in the bathroom...kind of ruins the moment haha.

SURFS UP!

HEY SEXY BEASTS. Yesterday I met my lovely dad for a spot of lunch and a catch up. I've mentioned before that him and his girlfriend renovated a beach cottage in Cornwall. This now means that we all have to become amazing surfers according to him, meaning we marched off to a sports shop and he got a bit wetsuit happy and bought three. We all have one now so there's no excuse not to get in the sea and ''catch some waves'' ;). Love my dad when he gets something in his head. He has to follow it through and he wont stop until he's satisfied that he's providing everyone with the right equipment for his chosen activity haha. I'm going to visit them next week sometime so the update will come! Should be rather hilarious trying not to let the sea completely destroy me...

 

The lovely offerings we had from ''Coals'' restaurant. There's not that many in the country (about 6 or 7 I think?) but if find yourself near one, GO INSIDE AND FEAST! It's such great food and their cocktails are fecking awesome!

I should really restrain from constantly posting pictures of Fugly on here...but I wont ;) Love xx

CORNWALL

THIS POST IS SO BELATED AS I VISITED Cornwall over the Easter weekend which was 10 days ago but never mind! In January my dad began renovating an old run down cottage, which sits right in the sand dunes of a little beach. My boyfriend and I went to see the finished article and stayed the night. It's going to be used as my dad and his girlfriend's little getaway for when Devon gets tough, and it looks really gorgeous now.

We managed to scoff our way through a stash of easter eggs as well as sampling delicious treats Cornwall had to offer. My dad looks after our amazing dog, Fugly, and I adore seeing him whenever I visit my dad. I live with my boyfriend so it's not everyday I see Fugly face.

I've included a few little snaps from the short time we were there, to give you more insight...
