For Valentine's Day this year, instead of going for a fancy meal or staying at a posh hotel me and Sean drove down to Weston Super Mare. Now that Sean can drive I'm taking full advantage by making sure we get to travel whenever possible. We hadn't been to Weston in years and we'd never ever gone together so I was really looking forward to spending the day by the seaside.
We got up early and started out on the motorway, stopping at Burger King on the way so I could grab some of my favourite mini hash browns. We got to Weston around midday and headed straight for the 2p machines on the Grand Pier. We'd be saving them for a little while in preparation for this day. Once we were almost out of 2ps we decided to walk around the arcade to see what else we could do. We played House Of The Dead, Whack a Shark (I'm sure it used to be whack a mole?) and a couple of games of ice hockey before realising we were actually quite hungry.
I'd fully prepped myself for fish and chips for dinner, I'm a cheap date and what could be better than sitting by the beach munching on chips? Well we did find something better! At the very end of the Pier is a gorgeous little Edwardian Tearoom and they serve afternoon tea. I'm not much of a tea drinker but I am a sucker for themed restaurants and finger sandwiches. We were brought a beautiful little spread with sandwiches, cakes and scones which we washed down with some sweet breakfast tea. The whole thing was so cute and I couldn't have wished for a better Valentines Day lunch!
After finishing off the last of the mini cakes we headed back to the 2p machines to get rid of any left overs and win some last tickets. We also had some obligatory photostrips done which I'm actually in love with and cant wait to frame. We counted our tickets and handed them over in exchange for a pack of cards and two toy planes which I'm sure we will have fun playing with. We took our goodies and left the Pier.
By now it was late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set. We decided to take a very breezy walk along the beach making friends with several puppies on our way. We were treated to the most brilliant sunset to finish off our day and even though it was beginning to get quite cold we stayed and watched the sun go down.
After grabbing a little drink we decided to head home promising to return when the weather gets a little better.
I'd love to hear what you all got up to last Sunday!
Thanks for reading!
