Spoilt Rotten

Well first night in Cornwall and it's already so different from last years trip with the parentals...it's more disappointing.

I think the fault lies with the fact that we were truely spoilt last year with our choice of house - 3 floors (dad had one to himself with his own kitchen, bathroom, and living room...always a bonus)...lovely big living room looking directly out onto the sea:

...and my room had two balconies which were just lush at night. This year we only managed to find one place suitable in the same town (we like them big so it's always a problem...plus mum and dad are divorced so we need three seperate bedrooms...don't ask why we still 'holiday' together, it's way too complicated!)...and unfortunately it's a twenty minute walk away from the town centre meaning no lovely views and no sea front setting.

It is way too big for three; it has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a big dining room (with a piano)...a double living room...the list goes on. In fact my room has a king sized bed, a huge en-suite with a seperate shower and bath (both big enough to easily accomodate two people) and a walk in changing room type thing! I shall try and get some pictures up at some point but right now i haven't uploaded any.

You may think this all sounds perfectly nice...and it is...but it's just not as good. Therefore the atmosphere tonight was definitely not as harmoneous as last year. We tried to fix it by going for a late night wander into town, forgetting that it's a Saturday night and a complete nightmare! Jam packed full of drunken rowdy teenagers (yes i know that i'm not exactly over the hill myself but sometimes with my parents i feel like i've aged about 50 years)...so in the end we just came back and called it a night. Not good.

Oh well, you can't have it all and we'll get used to the fact that this house, despite being perfectly pleasant, isn't a patch on the last one. I am just going to try my hardest to be agreeable and hope that tomorrow we're all on our best behaviour and chipper - no matter what comes our way!

...on a lighter note it's mine and the boyfriends 9 month 'anniversary' today...whoop!
