Cousins

The kids always seem to enjoy the beach time when we're down in Cornwall. We made it to the Minack theatre for a puppet show this time as well, which is where the girls can be seen parading in front of the crowds.

Finn is great with Bryn too, so it makes our life a little easier when there are an extra pair of eyes out for danger on the beach.

Beach Daze II

Some good rock pooling to be had in Cornwall. Crabs (edible, velvet & shore), blenny's and goby's, pipe fish, lug worms and anemone's all kept the children entertained for much of the day. Whilst the adults enjoyed other aspects of beach life. Simple pleasures don't cost much... (here comes the surf Dan).

Summer Sun

We have taken our 1st week off in over a year, and what a week. Whilst the summer holidays have been a bit of a damp squib, the last week before the schools started up again were blissful. Camping, fishing, surfing, boating, drinking, singing and beach BBQ were the order of the day.

More details will follow on all the above, but it was high time for a break. Proof positive of the need for a holiday was that both Christa and I were both ill. I find this the best way of truly relaxing. I even had to gib out on the Bristol half marathon, which was very unusual. I would say that'll learn me, but you know it probably wont.
