    Tom has a super top secret meeting to attend in Cheltenham on Monday, which he can't even tell me about, so we decided to turn it into a road-trip and head off for the weekend. It was really snowy as we made our way out of Edinburgh and to the Borders.

      Our first stop was Lancaster, a city I used to visit with my parents when I was little. I was sad to see the Pendle Witch pub had lost it's awesome witchy sign.

      We went for lunch at The Whale Tail Cafe, an awesome vegan cafe hidden down a little alley above a farm shop.

      I had a bacon tofu roll which had a delicious smokey taste.

    I kept myself amused for the rest of the ride by continuing my Figaro knit cushions. I even invented a new way to count rows with pick n mix, by filling a bag with the same number of sweets as rows I have to knit, and eating one each time I complete a row. We also bumped into Martyn & Alison at a random gas station which was fun.

      We arrived in Croydon later in the evening where we made a quick pit stop at Ikea to buy some supplies they don't sell in Scotland and then went on the hunt for dinner.

      We ended up at Little Bay, which was the perfect Valentine's restaurant with velvet curtains, giant gold Greek gods, cosy little nooks and live Opera every Wednesday. There was a band playing when we arrived.

      I tucked into a mushroom, goats cheese and spinach tart while Tom had salmon.
