Christmas in Cornwall: Day Six

Another new day and another new adventure.
With the sun shining low in the sky we set off towards Treveren.





























Rachael and I are absolutely obsessed with this new song by Benjamin Francis Leftwich. We could not stop singing it the whole way along the walk. You all need to have a listen (click here).



After a ridiculously long walk, we dragged ourselves back to the cottage and managed to cram in a few episodes of Brothers & Sisters (thank you Santa for the amazing box set) before heading out to St Ives for dinner.

Our choice of restaurant for tonight was The Captain's Table at The Sloop Inn. We had been desperate to try this place after seeing the fantastic specials menu boasting Paella, Lamb Tagine, Seafood Platter...

Gimmie Gimmie!




Little Rachael placed herself in the window seat and couldn't help but play a bit of Peekaboo behind the curtains.



Just look at that face!





Freshly baked bread dipped into basil pesto.
Literally the most tasty thing ever. I would never have thought to use pesto as a dip, but it is highly recommended! 
I manage to clean every bowl on the table.

Now onto the mains.




Rachael and I shared the Paella for two which was beyond fantastic. The most obscene amount of gorgeously fresh seafood including mussels, prawns, seabass, calamari and even lobster claws. YUMMMMM.





Daddy opted for the lamb tagine which he wouldn't even let anyone try as it was too good to share.




Harry with his rather unadventurous palette went for the fillet steak which was absolutely grilled to perfection.




The perfect mouthful.
If you are in St Ives, go to The Captain's Table! Make sure you book first as it gets pretty booked up (click here to book).

Back onto the waterfront for a little outfit post.












Row, row row your boat...
Last full day in Cornwall tomorrow, time really does fly when you're having fun!
