Here’s the beach, lovely and hot (about 35°C on average):
Holiday!

Bee loving the beach, she had a great time splashing around then rolling around in the sand to get warm again:
A Nice Sit

Mirabelle also loved the beach, running around smashing sandcastles and splashing in the seas:

Miri liked the band at the Mexican restaurant, every time we walked past when they were playing she stopped and had a little dance. She was quite a draw:
Ride 'em cowboy!

Miri took to the pool like a duck to water, she was completely fearless and had no worries with the armbands. She’s such a star:

To the Sea!

Fast asleep by the pool. Both girls slept by the pool (Miri in the pushchair and Bee on a sunbed) each day which saved us having to trek back to the room for naps:
Tuckered Out

Bee and me on the waterslide. “Let’s do it AGAIN!” she gleefully shouted each time we did it:
Splash!

The holiday is over (boo!), we’ve driven almost 1200 miles since we set off and have in effect traveled from the East all the way to the West of this fair isle. I think it’s safe to say we all had a great time, especially Beebe who was surrounded by lots of people to entertain and play with her and mountains of food to eat. We walked a lot and I took lots of photos (over 500), I would have taken more I’m sure if the weather had been a bit nicer. It was such a good atmosphere while we were there and despite there being 10 of us in the house there were very few, if any, arguments and clashes. Hooray for holidays!

Almost over

Our holiday is slowly drawing to a close as we’ll be heading for home, via Aylesbury, on Friday :( It’s been fantastic and we’ve done loads and loads and it’ll be a shame to return to normal life.

The past few days we’ve been up to the Beacon near us and enjoyed some great views:
Blinding Light

To St Ives (and no, the man with 7 wives was not present, I did look for him):
St Ives Harbour

Back to Newquay where we bought presents for home and had a nice cream tea and then today we went to Padstow. Padstow was lovely and we even enjoyed some more sunshine whilst there. We also had some of Rick Stein’s fish and chips which were very impressive indeed. I also bought more fudge, natch.

We’re off out for pizza tonight at the pub at the top of the hill. We went there last week for steak night and it was mmmm, good so we’re hoping for a repeat performance.

The holiday continues apace, lots more photos taken and a few days of sunshine at last! We’ve all been having a wonderful time so far, Bee’s in her element and has continued to eat and eat and eat, we’re both good if slightly tired today – we had a busy day yesterday driving to Lizard and then on to Land’s End (photos below). Today we went to Newquay Zoo which was very good indeed, photos from that later though…

That famous signpost, it was oddly quiet at Land’s End which was good until we realised that all the attractions (including the Dr. Who exhibition) shut 5 minutes after we arrived and we didn’t realise. Grrrr:

View from Lizard Point (Southern-most point of mainland England). We stopped at a lovely cafe here for lunch and I had a gorgeous Apple and Blackberry pie, it was very tasty indeed:

Porthtowan

Porthtowan is the next village down the coast from us, we drove there last night and wandered up onto the cliffs as the sun was setting….
