Holiday Snaps
Most people take photos when on holiday and for me this is a classic. We come here to Cornwall whenever we can and the usual thing people say is "I hope the weather stays fine" or "I hope you don't get too wet". The Great British Summer is underrated as far as I am concerned.
Take the past three days for instance. Each started with fairly heavy rain. On the first day I was running when the heavens opened and I got soaked. We spent the morning playing scrabble, ten-pin bowling etc. and the afternoon on the beach.
The second day we drove to Padstow and hired some bikes. It was spitting as we left the hire centre but we rode 22 miles (and Nathan is only 9 years old!) and it was a glorious day.
And yesterday I had planned to launch my boat but the rain came and so we played Simpsons Monopoly for an hour until it cleared. Then we got going and here is the result: A little beach that can only easily be reached by boat, the sun, the family and you can just make out the ducks. The smiling faces tell the rest of the story. That's my holiday snap!
