Count The Memories, Not The Calories- A Week In Review

Hello there readers! This was meant to be my Friday post but it's been a busy week, so it's a Sunday post instead. Tonight's post is a week review, as for me it's been a very good week spent in the company of family, friends & good food, which I thought I'd share with you all! You're probably wondering where I got the title from? Well, that's a quote I saw on the wall of my favourite tea room, which is one of the places I visited this week. However, it's not the first place I visited, which means I have to start from the beginning before revealing the name of that location!

On Monday I went out driving with my Dad, to get some more experience before my test. We went to ASDA so I could get some bits for tea & sort out my Grandad's phone before driving along the sea front & then popping into a local Costa for coffee & cake. Was very nice, plus I managed to do my first perfect bay park in my car- yay!

Tuesday I met up with Georgia & we went down to Southsea. We started by playing a round of Adventure Golf (or 'Elaborate Obstacle Golf' to my fellow In The Flesh fans), which was great fun & something I haven't done for ages! We then wandered into the arcades near to the golf course & had a go on the 2p machines, managing to win a few tickets (36, to be exact) & a pack of Love Hearts. We then went over to another arcade as we had some time to spare & I had a go on a claw machine, but I failed, probably for the best as I don't really know where abouts in my room I'd store a Pacman plushie!

Elaborate Obstacle Golf, pirate style!

Our next stop is a place I mentioned earlier, which is my favourite tea room- The Tenth Hole. The reason why I love this place is because of it's great selection of cakes, which are some of the best cakes I've ever had/seen in my life! In fact, both myself & Georgia agreed that the hardest choice is choosing which cake to have! On this occasion, we opted for the same cake, which was the chocolate & raspberry brownie cake- divine! And much like anyone in the 21st century, I took a photo of it so I could share with the world, so here you go, a little something to feast your eyes on:

After my day with Georgia, I then went down to the local beach for ice-cream with my Dad & sister. That evening myself, my Mum & my sister went to a local Wetherspoons with my Godfather, his partner & some of their friends for a meal as it was Steak Club night, which was very nice- I had the chicken & ribs meal, plus two lots of onion rings as my sister didn't want hers- yes!

Also tried this, must say it's very nice!

Wednesday I went back over to Portsmouth with my friend Berry, but this time went to the city centre as I was on the hunt for a birthday present for my sister. It was a nice day, wandered round a few shops, had lunch out, managed to get my sister's birthday present. It was great to be hanging out with Berry again, as we hadn't done so in ages!

Thursday was my Grandparents' 60th Wedding Anniversary, so me, my Mum & my sister went out with them for a meal. We originally planned to go to a pub restaurant in the country, which ended up being closed, so we made our was to another, which was serving a very limited menu, so we came back to our local Harvester, which was great! Gotta love a good Harvester meal!

Friday I worked 9-5 (what a way to make a living!) then went out with my Dad to one of his local pubs to see a friend of ours play live with his band. They were good & it was a good night out, plus Angelos was on the TV when we got back so we watched that for a bit.

Saturday me, my Mum & sister went round to my Aunties' house for a BBQ & get together, which again was very nice!

2nd cider flavour to try- delicious!

And that's all up until tonight. Thank you all for reading, shall be back tomorrow night with my music post! :)
