      We went to Paddington today to buy train tickets for Scotland but while we were there we got very tempted with the idea of adventuring out to Cornwall to see St Ives. We ended up booking tickets for the sleeper train that night.

      We stopped for a late lunch at Zizzi where you can get two main meals for £12 during the week.

      I was really excited because I got to try a vegetarian calzone. Tom always gets them but they're stuffed with meat. This one was filled with vegetables, pine nuts and cheese.

    We then headed home to pack when we got a text from Louise asking us out for drinks.

      We headed up for a quick milkshake at Jacks before heading for the sleeper train. I'm going to miss Louise's stories.

      We were shown to our room which had been upgraded to a double, giving us lots more space and TVs to watch in bed.

      We were also entitled to free hot chocolates, so we went to the buffet car before bed to have a snack and play cards.

      We then snuggled up in our comfy beds and watched a bit of TV.
