A Holiday of the Best Kind

We have just returned from the MOST fabulous holiday in Cornwall.  The weather was kind we had sunshine most days even if it was for only an hour or so in the evening.  We laughed and laughed and laughed.  We ate lots and lots and lots (sorry Diet Police - I have received your caution) will be back to being 'good' as from today.  I took more than three photos - last holiday my total photo take was three which was very poor. 

The girls enjoyed painting with water colours on the beach and achieved some fab results. Might have to have a go myself. 

Belle enjoyed a tractor ride.  I like to say we made this but we didn't.

This is a most exciting photo - dolphins!! Yes we saw dolphins swimming across the bay at Praa Sands whilst we were having a beach BBQ. It was so exciting.  I didn't think I would be so giddy on seeing dolphins but I was.  There were about 12 in total jumping up out of the water and generally splashing around having a good time.   They stayed around for about 20 minutes and then swam off into the distance.  Priceless and it made our holiday.  The Nannie was so excitited she phoned my two sisters to tell them all about it although by mistake she phoned her home phone and left herself a message.  Apparently the message is hilarious and she is keeping it for us to listen to later.  My LSJ has listened and nearly weed.

The Harbour St Ives

I have more photos to share but I am going to post those another day.  We are surrounded by washing, ironing and all the usual holiday stuff that needs sorting.  So I shall say bye for now and I will pop back shortly to show you the rest of our holiday

BE CAREFUL - TOAST IS DANGEROUS

Just a little snippet of a fairly normal conversation between K and myself.  Both in kitchen pottering, K buttering his toast - yum I said think I will have toast today - BE CAREFUL said K if you have toast you will put on half a stone.  It was very funny indeed - having to BE CAREFUL of the very dangerous toast.  Did I have any - yes I did (but without the butter).  Was it delicious - OH YEAH.  Best toast I have had in 6 weeks.  Few minutes after K was playing his new Eagles CD and I said Oh I like this look it makes me dance like a chicken (envisage me in fluffy bagpuss dressing gown flapping arms like a chicken and bopping around) Ah yes indeedy said K picking up the CD case it says on here that the Eagles makes you dance like a chicken.  Does it? I replied - er no. Doh.  Typing this I have laughed a little more as I have just got the joke Eagle/Chicken thingy.  Oh today is going to be a good one me thinks!

Please forgive me for not using the correct speech mark thingys they really reduce my flow so I don't bother - hope you don't mind.

Have a good one!

Oh Diane I will be carrying my new handbag on my holidays.  Will post it later so if you spot me you will know its me as I cant imagine anyone else will have a new orange and blue handbag with a picture of St Ives on one side and St Michaels Mount on the other.

One last funny now listening to Rock with You by Michael Jackson (thanks LSJ and R for K's voucher good music for our Cornwall journey) when K says in a DJ type voice Dear Steve Wright please play Rock with You for wifey and me as we are about to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and we have had lots of ups and downs and at the moment we are having a particularly good patch so a shout out would be good.  (Anniverary not until October so I suppose he thought now would be a good time as we might have had a fuss in October).  Oh how we laughed.  Cheeky bugger!  Good job I love him lots.
