Weather is lovely down here.

Make sure you have plenty of Kelly's Ice cream. Its the BEST ice cream in the WORLD!!!!!!!(Especially the cones with clotted cream on top!)

We've just got back from cornwall oddly enough. Though only from B&Q and the garden centre, so not quite as exciting as being on your hols.

mrs M still doesn't believe me that such a thing exists, sadly since living down here we haven't been to anywhere selling them.

Just google Kellys Ice cream and it tells you all about it and where to get it. When we used to have our summer holiday years ago it was always at a farm at Polzeath. They had 2 fabulous beaches there and the Kellys van came every day. Just fabulous.

Back already  ;D

Fabulous weekend. Lots of Ice cream ( not Kellys but we've had that before and its fantastic!) pasties and fish and chips on the beach last night.

Highlight of whole break was a pod of common dolphins chose to swim and jump in the waves while the children were body boarding - they were about 10 inches from my daughters at one point. One woman screamed 'shark' but I'd already seen they were dolphins at that point so no panic  ;)

Glad you had a nice time, that was a lot of driving for such a short break, is the herd ok?
are your friends still your friends ?

haha! yes they still love us  ;D  all went well with the various people checking on them and they've been spoilt with various cuttings and branches.
It was quite a long drive but we stop at places on the way down and way back to make them days out in their own right so it breaks it up.  Our trusty Disco decided to split its waterpump in Bridgewater but the AA had us back and on our way with a new one fitted within 2 hours. Dog, kids and I sunbathed happily while it was mended - turning all negatives into positives  :sunshine:
