The other day, we both had the day off work so decided to go on a kind of road trip, I say kind of as it was only an hour or so drive away. After not really knowing if we were heading in the right direction, we finally arrived at our location that can only be described as somewhere where most 18 and 21 year olds would probably avoid. It's a lovely place in the countryside so it has beautiful fields all around, with a few farm shop and antique type shops. My sister is pretty obsessed with home stuff and has bought the majority of our kitchen equipment, which does come in handy but sometime she's a little extreme, like once we've got plates etc we don't really need more and I'm not sure how many other people have 'milk glasses' specifically for milk. Anyway, she enjoys looking around those type of places at the food and home stuff so I just went along for the ride and the good photo scenery!
After spending way too long waiting, while Hannah pondered over which draw handles to buy - yes, draw handles, the decorated ones that you replace the original perfectly usable and a lot cheaper handles with. Hannah picked up some crazy looking pasta, that had a black coloured band around each pasta bow piece. At first I thought it was pretty funky and monochrome but then I read it was from Squid ink dye, which definitely put me off but she still bought it and we used it for dinner that night and it just tasted like normal pasta luckily!

We then headed to the coast, there isn't too much there, especially for our age range but it's still nice to walk around in the sun. The famous fish and chip shops were closed by the time we got there as they're only open over lunch, which was pretty sad but good as we're both trying to eat better and shift a few pounds. We walked around the few shops that were there; there's a Jack Wills and Fat Face and a few more quaint little shops. We then sat on the beach for a while, which was nice as it was very quiet and lovely and sunny.
Once we got home, we cooked the Squid ink pasta, with smoked salmon, tomatoes, garlic, white wine, onion and dill, which was pretty darn tasty, as long as you forget the whole squid aspect - unless you're a seafood lover, then just embrace the squid!
I hope you've all had a good week and have a great weekend!
