Queen of the Sea

We were up earlier than is ideal for the first proper day of the holidays to take Grandma to Truro station for the 10.18 to Paddington. Only we found out when we'd got her there in plenty of time that it was really the 10.41. But we did see Janet Street-Porter...

Back on a mini adventure to pastures new to collect The Baking Bird and take her to Swanpool. Where much mayhem and silliness followed. The highlight being Bella swallowing a pebble. Or perhaps the Queen, Princess and Prince of the sea. Or possibly the Swanpool ice creams. Or Selena turning herself into a ship with all 4 children on board and serenading them with a song we've all forgotten. Or being introduced to Florence whatshername...

I dragged them all off the beach and brought them home for BBQ hotdogs before the nonsense started again. Sadly it was time to take the world's greatest children's entertainer home. But ever resourceful I rang ClareClare and met her and Josh at the Bowly for an hour.

We lost a bucket and them broke one at the beach today so I had decided we needed to go to Harbour Lights for tea to replace them. It didn't take a lot of persuading for ClareClare and co to join us!

So day 1 of the summer holidays is almost over and I fear I have set the bar rather high for the remaining 6 weeks...
